FanDuel DFS vs. The DFS Competition

DraftKings is FanDuel’s most significant competition, however Yahoo also launched a DFS site which is becoming a popular option with less experienced players.

Currently, FanDuel and DraftKings maintain their appeal mainly with the more experienced gamers. While DraftKings offer more sporting options (like MMA for example,) FanDuel and DraftKings are virtually on par when it comes to entry fees and prizes.

What may set FanDuel apart is the number of options within a contest for you to customize a game not only to your liking, but to your exact ability.

The other benefit to playing on FanDuel, as compared to playing the competition, is the range of contests designed for less experienced players. You get to familiarize yourself with all the functionality of the contests, allowing you to progress at your own pace.

Games can be customised in-line with the entry fee across slates, gaming styles and the number of managers involved. The clear layout gives you an easy overview of the entry fee, total prize and the number of players in a contest at a glance.

FanDuel Tournaments
