Ok Lou, I just want to get this straight because I deposited 4 beans into draftstreet but was told I couldn't get Pro Status because I was premature (gee, if I had a nickel for every time I've heard that). So if I click on the words Fanduel or become pro that are hyperlinked, they will both give me a valid SBR sign in offer? Also, the minimunm is $230 to become pro?

Yes, I know these are obvious questions but I want to make sure so that I can wear that SBR Pro badge proudly!

Swinging Johnson - Pretty sure that's right. Basically the two requirements are:
1. Your Fanduel account must be tagged with the SBR referral code.
2. You must deposit $200 (which will cause your account to have $230 in it once the bonus is applied).

The only catch is that if you originally visited Fanduel using some other tagged link your account wouldn't be tagged with the SBR referral code. I think if you clear cookies on your browser before going to Fanduel via the link in SBR Lou's post, that would eliminate the possibility of that problem. If you need any help doing that, email me at alex@fanduel.com and let me know what browser you'll be using.

-Contests range from head to head to 5 or 10 player leagues to tournaments with hundreds of opponents
-Deposits can be made via Paypal or CC
-Withdrawals are made by Paypal (or check for $250+)

On single/daily contest charging a 10% rake/fee is a bit high in my opinion. I can see your percentages that high on the $5/$10 dollar leagues but charging that on $100 dollar single day leagues is a bit excessive in my opinion. Especially considering its a salary cap game, will require no live drafting software and will last one day.

In my head to head leagues on draftstreet, they charge 9 bucks so I don't think 10 is an unusual rake. I just wish one of these sites would understand that if they offered season long leagues they would pull in a ton of players who would eventually try the daily and weekly leagues.

By the way Waiverwire, does fanduel have weekly leagues or just daily?
