    Lightbulb Where to Play Daily Fantasy

    What is Daily Fantasy?

    The old style fantasy games were setup in a way that required season long commitments and would take a lot of time managing. Daily Fantasy is a unique spin on this. As the name suggests, instead of managing a team for an entire season, players can login and draft teams on a daily or weekly basis.

    Players pay a buy-in and draft a team. Each lineup has a salary cap which makes things more interesting and difficult. Each player drafted has a salary amount attached to them and a lineup can not exceed the total cap. This requires selecting a lineup that is well balanced based on the salary amounts. At the end of the week, the player who's drafted team scores the most points is the winner and takes the first place cash. Payouts are similar to online poker tournaments ranging from a large payout for first and paying around 20-30% of the field.

    Fantasy drafts are available for basically any sport and range in buy-ins from freerolls up to thousands of dollars. Let's look at some of the best websites.
