SportsGeek - Daily Fantasy Sports - SBRForum Intro

Also check out this review from Gaming Today's Micah Roberts.

For instance, last week I played two daily NBA Challenges where I pick a roster of two guards, two forwards, a center and three flex players based on a salary cap.
One Challenge was $22 with a limit of six people, where the team with the top score gets $80 and the second best squad gets $40. SportsGeek.com simply makes its money by taking the 10% juice, or rake. I didn’t win, but I had a great time – better than my regular NBA fantasy team, just watching the actual players play their games that night.

when u gonna add tennis?

**aca** · 03-08-11, 12:14 PM

Interesting!

**SportsGeek-com** · 03-08-11, 12:28 PM

@ Noober, Yes this is in our plans too. Ideally, by early Summer but no definative timetable is set. Right now our focus is launching the best Baseball game we can produce, then Golf/Nascar, WSOP and then Tennis after that. The more we read about the market potential of Tennis and how the seeding perfectly fits our Salary Cap structure, we have decided to include Tennis in our plans.

Thanks

**TWEETS** · 03-08-11, 01:13 PM

One suggestion for baseball--set the salary cap at a reasonable amount. I hate these leagues where you can get the top player at every position except 1, and you get like the 10th at that position. Make it where if someone wants Pujols, they have to take a hit at 3-4 other positions.

**StraitShooter** · 03-08-11, 01:42 PM

Glad to see you aboard. I have signed up and am looking forward to trying out the site. GL -

No good for me only for us/candian players

**SportsGeek-com** · 03-08-11, 01:51 PM

@ TWEETS, Evidentally you've been sitting in on some of our production meetings with our programmers. The key to being successful on our site is "....skill in finding value players." The question we ask ourselves is "What skill does it take to pick Pujols, Hanley, Mauer, Longoria and Utley all on the same team?" We feel none.....We want the true skilled player to show that he/she is better in the long run. By making the Cap somewhat restrictive will enable this to occur and we are planning on doing just that.

Thanks,
Garrett

**SportsGeek-com** · 03-08-11, 01:53 PM

@ Shaunover - Give us a week or two and we'll try to have International users allowed to sign up. Sorry about the little roadblock for you, but we'll get it figured out.

**ryanspeer2001** · 03-08-11, 03:16 PM

Could you talk to us about your cash out process along with any fees, methods, and timeframes available.

Currently I play at a competitor and they have excellent payout times but being that you are partnered with SBR I'd like to give you a spin this mlb season.

**FreeFall** · 03-08-11, 04:46 PM

This is legal in the United State correct?

**SportsGeek-com** · 03-08-11, 05:45 PM

@Ryan-Our withdrawal process is pretty simple and quick. Currently, the default method is check by mail which gets processed within 2 days and in the mail the next. Total turnaround time for the check to reach you is generally between 3 days and a week. PayPal is also an option but isn't advertised on our site yet. We've been doing PayPal withdrawals on a request basis through our customer service email. It should be up as an option to select within a month.

@ Freefall, you bet buddy. SportsGeek is 100% legal and fully UIGEA compliant in the US. There are 4 states where SG falls into some gray area so we don't allow players from IA, VT, LA and AZ. Other than that fire away. The UIGEA-Safe Port Act of 2006 specifically made online poker illegal in the US carried a "Fantasy Sports Exemption" and that is what makes SG legal as we follow that to a tee.

**dbldbl1212** · 03-08-11, 09:37 PM

sportsgeek,

are you ever going to make the injury status update daily?

It is very irritating needing to check espn whether or not the player is actually injured or not.

**SportsGeek-com** · 03-09-11, 01:19 AM

@Db - Absolutely, this is something we are aware of and its an understandable issue of concern. We don't want to make people leave SG to double check this. We actually just hired a new programming company because we weren't happy with issues like this not being taken care of by our prior programmers. Please have patience with this, we hope to have it fixed within a week or so.

The recruiters account name that you have entered is invalid. If you do not know the correct account name please leave the Recruiters Name space blank. After you finish registration, you can contact support@sportsgeek.com to add your recruiter and receive your bonus.

**LUCKYCHUCK** · 03-09-11, 06:21 AM

i have joined. looking forward to playing.

**SportsGeek-com** · 03-09-11, 09:09 AM

@bobbyfk - If the username of the person that told you about the site isn't spelled exactly correct the system isn't able to recognize it. If this happens we just want people to email support with the person's name so that they are credited with any appropriate bonuses. If there wasn't a person who recruited the new user then this can just be left blank during the registration process.

**legendmatt34** · 03-09-11, 12:41 PM

Sounds good~!

**ehp6737** · 03-10-11, 08:08 PM

Love the site. will be deposting there soon

**Full Time Hobo** · 03-10-11, 11:22 PM

Deposited small amount last night and trying out a small contest today... pretty good so far your updates are pretty sluggish though

**Degenerate** · 03-11-11, 04:17 AM

Where can I find the terms & conditions for the deposit bonus?

**SBRtv Judie** · 03-11-11, 09:51 AM

Hey guys,
I'm doing an interview with Sportsgeek.com- possibly today. Are there any questions that you'd like me to include?
Cheers
Jude

I wanted to know if they will be venturing into other sports like Hockey and Tennis. They Seem pretty limited on what they are offering as far as sports.

And if they will be adding other withdrawal methods. I deposited with PayPal and it would be convenient if that was a way to get my money out as well.

Ya i'd like to know the details of depositing/withdrawing more. Seems new and i've never seen paypal as deposit/withdrawal so i'd like this talked about. Not sure if theres another site like this so i'd like to hear them talk about what they expect in the near future with their site with sbr.

**SportsGeek-com** · 03-12-11, 09:42 PM

@ B1GER - First things first, you have a fantastic avatar. I love beautiful, one-armed, latin women and she is perfect!!!

As for your questions, the biggest thing we need to do is educate the public that Gaming on Daily Fantasy Sports is 100% legal in the US and is fully covered under the UIGEA of 2006. There are a few little guidelines we need to follow and we make sure to. As for your deposit/withdrawl question. We fully accept Paypal, VC/** and E-checks. We prefer Paypal and we can pay back via Paypal or we can cut a check too. Our goal is to have our member's money to them within 10 business days. We have been averaging 5 days thus far.

We will be launching MLB in a few weeks and we are also going to redo our home page to make it easier to navigate. In the NFL this season we awarded over $316,000 and fully expect to award more than that during the baseball season. As for our relationship with SBR, we feel it is win/win as they are helping us educate a targeted audience and we look forward to working with them for a long time. Look for our $1,000 MLB Season Prediction Contest to be posted any day (Division winners, Pennants, WS Champ, MVP's, Cy Young's etc....)

I see you are a poker player, look for our WSOP fantasy game in June and look for our full page ad in Bluff Magazine in April.

Good Luck and feel free to throw out any other questions, comments and suggestions.

Thanks,
Garrett

You had me at hello.

Another 2 questions because i do want to give this site a go in the near future.

1: What documents need to be sent in? Standard ID and such? I'd probably deposit paypal as i got money sitting in there anyway.
2: i got 10 dollars "pending", is this just a bonus thats released when i deposit?
