Fanduel Review

FanDuel.com is one of the top two biggest daily fantasy sports sites on the internet. Since introducing itself in 2009, FanDuel has exploded onto the daily/weekly fantasy market with exponential growth. In 2011, FanDuel paid out $10 million in prize money. In 2012, it paid out over $50 million. In 2013, pay outs exceeded $150 million. For 2014, total prize payouts were $560 million. In 2015, cash payouts had exceeded $2 Billion. With over 600,000 game entries available per week on average, and over $10 Million weekly pay outs during the NFL season, obviously the action and money is here.

Interested in playing your favorite fantasy sport to make a few bucks, or to become a millionaire (and the immortality of being a fantasy god)? Then FanDuel is the perfect place to start making all your fantasy dreams come to fruition!

Salary Cap:
You must fill in all required positions at or below your salary cap amount which is $60,000 on FanDuel. Your fantasy football team consists of nine positions – one QB, two running backs (RB), three wide receivers (WR), one tight end (TE), one flex (RB/WR/TE), and one team defense (D). FanDuel has replaced the Kicker position with the flex spot.

Super Flex:
Similar to the salary cap format, the Super Flex lineup format replaces the third Wide Receiver position, the Kicker position, and the Defense position with a Flex (RB/WR/TE) position and a Super Flex (QB/RB/WR/TE) position, for a total of eight positions to fill.

All positions require an appropriate player. That’s it!

FanDuel Mini:
This format requires only 5 slots to be filled. You must select one QB, two RBs, and two WRS. The mini unlimited format does not use salaries or a salary cap. Just choose any player you want to fill the above positions. That’s it!

FanDuel has updated news reports for players next to their names. This info is provided by Rotowire, which provides player summary info, player game log statistics, and the all-important player news. This is really convenient to keep up to date with player availability, injury reports, or legal status.

Head to Head Contests

Tournament Contests

FanDuel offers various types of contests for its fantasy sports, which include Head-to-Head, Multiplier Leagues, 50/50 leagues, Tournament contests, and Season-Long leagues. As with all the contests, you can play for whatever stakes you want, or none at all if you just want to practice or play for free.

You cannot see your opponent’s lineup nor can they see yours prior to the game start time. You can change your lineup at any time before the contest starts. To do this, click on the Upcoming tab up top, next to Lobby, select your team, and edit as you please. Save your new lineup, and good luck!

Head-to-Head games are your team vs. one other opponent, for whatever stakes you would like to make. You can enter an open challenge or you can create your own challenge and the winner takes the prize pool.

Leagues can be entered or created by you with a standard format of an entry fee and a capped league size. So the more players that enter a particular league game, the bigger the prize pool. Payout structures are similar to that of poker, in that the higher you place, the bigger your payout. League games will identify the payout structure for that particular game.

50/50 leagues are similar to the standard leagues, except for the payout structure. Everyone who finishes in the top half of this type of league, will double their stake, less the rake and everyone in the bottom half loses their stake.

Tournament matches are generally the most popular contest type as they have the largest sizes and prize payouts. Also, there are many types of tournament types which may include survivor, satellite tickets (similar to poker tournaments), double-ups, triple-ups, etc.

Next to some of the tournament games, you may see up to two different icons next to those games. The orange “M” icon stands for multi entry, so you can enter as many teams as you would like in that particular tournament. The blue ”G” icon stands for guaranteed payout. This means if the size limit for a contest is not completely filled, the contest will guarantee payout anyway.

Season Long leagues can be created with at least three contestants. FanDuel refers to these leagues as Friends Mode. Simply create your own free season long league and invite at least a couple of friends to join. These leagues can be for free, or you can add a cash entry fee. For cash entry leagues, you can choose your payout structure, and as the commissioner of your league, you won’t have to deal with collecting buy-ins or scheduling a draft date. That’s it!

Before you can make withdrawals, you will need to have staked amounts at least equaling your original deposit amount. For example, if your original deposit was $200, you would need to have staked at least $200 in contests in aggregate.

Withdrawal is simple. For PayPal accounts simply enter the amount to withdraw and your PayPal email address. Requests are processed within 48 hours, or the next business day if this request was made on the weekend.

If you do not have a PayPal account, FanDuel will send a check to USA and Canada players.

For checks, add the withdrawal amount and enter the address where the check is to be sent to a support ticket which can be found under the Help tab, and then click on the support tab, and then click on Submit support ticket. Processing and delivery of checks will usually take 7-10 days.

For U.S. tax purposes, if you earn net winnings of at least $600 for the calendar year, FanDuel will issue you a 1099. In this case, they will require your SSN to issue the 1099. For withdrawals over $250, your SSN will also be requested for this purpose.

To contact support, simply click on the Help tab up top next to your username, click on the support tab which has an extensive FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section, and then click on the submit support ticket button.

This form automatically fills in your name, email address, and your username. Simply fill in the subject and your message, and the support ticket will generally be responded to within 12 hours. FanDuel support can also be contacted by email at [email protected].
