    Am I going to hear 5 million commercials for yahoo as I did for fanduel? That's one of the reasons I'd never play there. That and the rake is too high.

    I have to edit each contest's lineup individually. Seeing as they're for a few bucks each, yahoo is an incredible waste of time

    Agreed, these guys def need to work out some of their issues. Def could be a great place to play but some of the most obvious things like yis said need to be addressed.

    I deposited last week as soon as I've heard.

    Very disappointed, though. Their only guaranteed contests are for a dollar or two and it wastes so much time. Every time I need to make a change, having to do it individually for each contest.

    It's yahoo....what would you expect for quality? 97% of their news articles are written at a 3rd grade level.

    they will outsource it at some point.

    when google and/or apple get into it then you will see a stronger product for end users.

    nobody will be able to compete with draftkings or fanduel unless they just give a bunch of money away to draw people in first.

    or usa department of justice decides those 2 companies need to kick in more tax revenue and start digging into them. then it opens door for other companies. never underestimate government greed.

    Any promo stuff at yahoo? A friend referral type thing. If I sign up for football, wouldn't mind giving a kickback to an SBR friend.

    I looked. I didn't see any referral program or any rewards.

    Funny thing today, they didn't remove Greinke from the paternity list. He's not available to pick.

    They have a bunch of pitchers available who aren't pitching, but no Greinke.
