Every day of the week, DraftDay gives sports fans an electrifying and challenging way to test their fantasy sports skills. We offer Daily Fantasy Sports games for a variety of sporting events with buy-ins ranging from free games to $1,000. Every fantasy sports enthusiast knows "Draft Day" is the most pulse-pounding day of the season. We bring you that same excitement -- served up daily.

Daily Fantasy Sports vs. traditional fantasy sports

Many players prefer Daily Fantasy Sports to traditional fantasy sports games. Here's why:

  • No season-long commitment. Jump in when you're ready.
  • If you're not happy with your team, there's always another draft tomorrow (or later today).
  • One unlucky injury won't ruin your entire fantasy sports season.
  • Draft in multiple games everyday and easily manage it all from one convenient place.

For more information about DraftDay, please view our tutorial or visit our FAQ.

Our Promise

From the beginning, we set out to create the Daily Fantasy Sports site that we would be proud to call home. Our top priority is ensuring a safe and fair experience for our customers. That's why we safeguard our players' funds in a segregated bank account, separate from our operational funds. We expect all of our games to run easily and often. That's why we apply years of web and e-commerce experience to ensure smooth game play on a reliable platform. We have our eyes trained on some lofty goals. That's why we are dedicated to listening to our players so that we can make your experience even better.
