DraftDay: What it is and why you should check us out!

Idk, i think their market is solely daily, unless you had a $10000 dollar buy in or something it would be meaningless for them to do it considering they have people playing thousands a day. Plus, once you really start playing daily...you can't stop

I couldn't disagree more with all due respect Ryan. I have played daily and weekly contests and it doesn't do it for me. But I do know this, if they had a season long head to head league, I am positive I would play some of the daily and weekly games just because I'd be on their site all the time.

Ryan138 · 03-02-13, 09:31 AM

Well lots of the sites do weekly games, Draftstreet I know does a lot of them. But I think I made the wrong point, THEY make a lot of money off of daily games because of the rake everyday. Season long games they would only collect rake one time and have to pay for the season long league to be on their site the whole season. I didn't mean to make it a "daily is better than season long" but for them it probably is just not profitable like daily is.

No, I understand the business model and I understand a lot of the younger guys like the dailies and weeklies. And that's their bread and butter, and they make more on those because it's a rake every day and every week. All I'm saying is that by offering season long leagues, they make a few bucks on those but the big reason they should do it is because now guys that would ordinarily never come to their site because they dont play dailies or weeklies may change their mind because they're on it instead of CBS or ESPN or Yahoo. Now they can get a whole new market involved that would not otherwise be there...like me. I know I'd get involved in a few dailies or weeklies to some extent if I was on their site for a season long league.

And the young guys like you, many of them also do season long leagues as well, so why not spend that money at Draft Day rather than another site. I don't think they (or any of the other daily/weekly sites) are taking this into consideration but the first one who does will get my business and have a big edge over the others.

I agree with Swinger

ttwarrior1 · 03-02-13, 07:49 PM

ttwarrior1 · 03-02-13, 07:49 PM

SamDiamond · 03-02-13, 07:54 PM

I don't think I have ever seen season long leagues and the main cash fantasy sites.

ttwarrior1 · 03-02-13, 08:02 PM

cool sam, where you staying?

why are you backing out of having me meet you, chi or who or whatever you are. You still wanting me to play
tennis on a court with some snow and ice on it?

Too bad you never responded to any of my questions in the saloon .

Just prepare those people in the vids that live here to know that their lives will be destroyed by me.

I can't wait for you to tape my matches this summer and me with 1 word saying escort him out of here just by me pointing and say out of here.

Ryan138 · 03-03-13, 11:36 AM

Understood Swinging, it will be interesting...as these sites get bigger and bigger they probably will. I know Joust did like season long for football, but you drafted/salaried a new team each week, would you be interested in that?

I might try that and see how I like it but I won't get the opportunity if I can't find a season long league within the site itself.

LT, you are 100% right. Draft Kings, Draft Street, Joust, Fan Duel and Draft Day...NONE of them have a season long league. You would think that all these sites who are trying to be different in some way or better than the other would wake up and realize, Hey, let's get the season long market...DUH! It's amazing.

downsouth · 03-04-13, 12:14 PM

So they cancelled my cash order claiming they meant to offer only $100 max for lifetime(i ordered $1000). They then upped their price to equal that of fanduels(which offers up to $1000) per month. At least I found out before I made cash deposit.

Booo draftday. If you wanna try out one of the daily sites, use Draftkings, cheaper and they allow you to order up to $500 bucks thru SBR store.

Or if you have already used draftkings and just wanna order fantasy cash, use fanduel since their is no $100 maximum limit and the two are the same price.

Good to know DS!

Easy-Rider 66 · 03-12-13, 11:06 AM

Got an e-mail from Draft Day. Will check them out.

jackpot269 · 04-08-13, 11:19 PM

I dont understand how it really works!!!!

BigSpoon · 05-13-13, 11:03 PM

They need to allow Canadians to buy the fantasy sports cash in the SBR points store again. Points are useless for non-US now.

Jam67es · 05-19-13, 12:19 AM

can I deposit via a CC?

LVHerbie · 05-30-13, 02:21 AM

I've been playing at Draftday after taking the signup you been offering from SBR. I like creating my own games (with a different payroll amount than the standard offered) but it is a real pain having to manually create each match one at a time. Any chance of adding the ability to create multiply games that duplicate the rules of the first one created?

Gift Cards and C. Cards I believe are accepted. Paypal best way to deposit tho

Jrod124 · 06-14-13, 10:53 AM

Any way to disable the chat at your site? Some of these guys in there say the same crap every night and it's annoying seeing it.

odog11 · 06-14-13, 11:10 AM

Any one know what's the true value of this? Meaning if you deposit with cash how much of a bonus do you get on $50 or is there only a bonus with a higher amount? Roll over on bonus?

Deciding between getting this or a $50.00 gift certificate. Any info appreciated.

Louisvillekid1 · 07-08-13, 06:46 PM

might check it out

will2survive · 08-20-13, 12:50 PM

I like Draftday's Super Turbo 5 on 5 matchups at 20-1 odds.

wquine · 08-20-13, 01:20 PM

I like Swinger's season long suggestions, i play both and it would certainly be a reason to play at one site over the other, plus you'd think that more traffic means more advert $ income as well.

DDT · 09-03-13, 06:36 PM

good deal
