FanDuel Daily Fantasy Sports Review

FanDuel has been the US leader in Daily Fantasy Sports for several years, dominating an industry valued at a staggering $3 billion a year.

Founded by the husband and wife team of Nigel and Lesley Eccles, along with their business partner Tom Griffiths, the team built a venerable treasure-chest of a business which was bought by the international gaming conglomerate Paddy Power Betfair in May of 2018.

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.
