DraftKings Reviews

DraftKings is a daily fantasy sports website, which offers regular fantasy contests in major league sports such as the NBA, NFL, MLB, and CFB, giving people a chance to win cash or prizes daily.
Daily fantasy sites are relatively new to the fantasy sports industry, having been established in 2007 and still gaining popularity. Daily fantasy sports sites allow you to draft a team of athletes for a particular day of sporting events – you can start over redrafting your team from scratch each day you wish to participate.
DraftKings.com offers a variety of types of daily fantasy contests on their website, including those you pay to enter, those which are free to enter, those which are Guaranteed, and those which are not.
Guaranteed contests will continue forward with the prizes being “guaranteed” to be awarded regardless of how many people enter the contest; contests that aren’t Guaranteed will be shut down if they don’t reach a minimum number of contestants.
Once you choose the contest you’d like to compete in, simply click the Draft Team button to enter. You will be given a salary cap of $50,000 to draft your team, and all the players will be assigned a salary in relation to their recent performance, and not their actual salary.
After you submit a roster, you can continue to modify it until the contest actually begins. If you win money in any contest, it will immediately be credited to your account and can be withdrawn via check or PayPal.

I just HAVE seen this with the GOLF CONTEST and i watch the % change as game went on many players .And they gave me a BS excuse Tyrrell Hatton started at 9.3% next as the game is being played he changed to 13.7% now he is at 10.3%

I have been playing for about 6 weeks. Every week I manage to win $30-$35 which allows me to keep playing. I cant't really say the game is fixed. There is no way to predict a player not being played or getting hurt. Their is luck involved......but not with the game. The luck has to do with how your players are played and how they do.
After reviewing a huge spreadsheet of stats every week.....I still can see winning more than $30......one day. There are many variables involved that need to be reviewed ( who is on bye, who is probable/questionable, who will cover those that are hurt, what their relationship is with the team, what the weather is, is it being played indoors, etc.) Yes it's tough and a game! Crossing my fingers to win $30 :) It makes Sundays way more fun!
Most the player do not all exists
I agree with you. You don't see these players at all, then all if a sudden they always seem to be in the running to win the tournament. I think there is something shady going on. Think the employees at Draft Kings are putting made up teams in the contests after the games start, so they don't have to pay out the big money. Plus I see a lot of winners have 6, 7, 8 players 10% owned or less. There's no way someone can figure out who is going to be the lowest owned before the games start. Just like this past Saturday in college football, I was in first place in two separate tournaments until the 4th quarter of the games. All of a sudden, I end up 910th place and 280th place. All these mysterious teams that weren't even in the top 1000 pass me at the last minute. Go from thinking I'm going to win some good money, to barely winning any money at all. Something is NOT RIGHT!!!!!!
I agree with you too. There is a window here for non transparency. After reading your post I can see where you are coming from. The game I play typically has approximately 300,000 people. If this a "dashboard" type set up that information should be available. I'm not a software expert so...... If they are sampling to save space..... Could that be a possibility? I don't know. I do take snapshots of the top winners every week and on average the player values vary..... So I usually can't afford all the winners the following week. I will keep it in mind when I play..... Thank you
not scam
It's a scam. My boyfriend won $10,000 and they sent him a outdated check from six months ago that says you have to cash within the 90days of the date of check.
Login in Scam
Same here haven't been able to log in since last week & no response to 4 customer service tickets. AVOID !
Definite scam
I was really excited about the whole concept of draft kings daily fantasy games but after playing you will soon realize that they are definitely rigged. The winners always seem to pick the perfect lineup of bums week after week. There is no way someone would have the foresight to choose no names over the "cream of the crop" players.
Are we supposed to believe that anyone would pick a undrafted second year player out of RAM ROD UNIVERSITY who just so happened to have a career game that day? ( i.e. 10 receptions for 168 yards and 2 TDs). I understand that there are sleepers and they can be the difference between winning and losing but to have 3 or 4 guys nobody has ever heard of on your roster over the household names and win constantly is insane.
Which can only mean that they generate fake user lineups and update them with players who are doing well throughout the day.
Mark my words there shady methods will soon come to light!!!!!
I agree with you. Think it's a scam also
YES ITS A SCAM, I WAS VERY LUCKY LAST WEEK WHICH GENERATED 240 POINTS.,HOW IN THE HELL THE COMPUTER HAD MY EXACT LINE UP BUT THE LAST 2 SELECTIONS WHICH STARTED LATE. THEY MIRROR EACH BET IN THE SYSTEM AND YOU END UP BETTING AGAINST YOURSELF.ITS NO WAY TO WIN MILLIONS,NO WAY......
. i WON $150 AND IM HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING MY MONEY.THERE'S NO ONE THERE TO ASSIST ME WITH THIS ISSUE. WITHIN THE PAST 2 DAYS. I BELIEVE THEY ARE WAITING TO BE SHUT DOWN AND JUST WANT TO KEEP ALL MONEIES IN CUSTOMERS ACCOUNT
I think its a scam too
Genius Scam

Yes you can see other people's lineups. I wrote down the winning player's lineup from my league three weeks ago. Afterwards I went in and tried to replicate that same lineup and it cost $59,000 to build - so how can that person have this lineup when the salary cap is $50,000. After this week I will never play online sports games again - so rigged !!!!!! Someone needs to be held accountable.
Player salaries change from week to week, especially if they have a breakout game one week. Sleepers salaries will jump considerably high with 2-3 good weeks under their belT.
What people have to realize is there are degenerate gamblers out there that spend all their time betting in the same games as you and throw 10x as much money into these games than you. They have your lineup plus 10 alternate version of that same lineup. With a few tweaks here and there and a winning defense they've just blown you out of the water by 30 points.
Those who have the money, the time, and are willing to "go big" every week are gonna continue to win. Unfortunately that's not good for the casual gamblers that put in $10-20-30 a wk. Try putting in $1,000 and spending 100hrs of research, utilizing all the top paid fantasy help sites.
If you can do it that way you're almost guaranteed to win big every week.
Just remember there are "Degenerate gamblers!" out there where this is all they do. Good luck trying to beat them.
We need a real sports betting website
This site is straight garbage lol I get
U ain't gotta play n it's always a change,

Crooked and don't really got a legit chance

Where normal people actually have a
Chance, haha.. Just be careful guys n girls
Draftkings froze my money out of nowhere
What's the fuss about?
Misleading and crooked!
Your deposit is not matched in any shape or form! You have to play over $300 for your $25 deposit to be released!
I deposited $25 fully expecting to get an additnal $25 in my account right away. When that didn't happen I thought ok well maybe this takes a couple days no big deal. Checked back a week later no dice.
Sent email told me it is released based on how much u play. Wtf! I got $1 released for playing $35!
This is a scam in the full definition! They are ruining the supposed to be fun game of fantasy sports!
S.C.A.M
Yes, you will win some money on this website, but you will never win "the big one".
Like already stated by others, number of users suddenly jumps in huge numbers few mins before a contest starts.
I believe they add their own lineups and adjust players during the contest as no user is going to go thru over 90,000+ lineups to check on this.
Usually the winners will have players in their lineups nobody has any business knowing their names but happened to perform that week. It is impossible for me to believe somebody actually put those players in their lineup.
You will never win against an online website that can see your cards (your lineups), but you cannot see it's cards.
Stay away.
Sorry man I think your wrong I have won over 20 thousand playing dk and I'm an everyday guy like yourself looking for an honest living and playing dk has been a hobby of mine I have had zero troubles
Hey Bobby in that case, can u offer any tips? I've been playing for several weeks and although I've won(only $80)playing millionaire contest, I've lost $154, so I'm $74 in the hole.
Bobby is full of it. Here's a response I posted to another site about my experience tonight.
Entries are not publicly viewable. You can only see what players they are using at the time of those players' games. You can only view other line ups AFTER the games have started. Also a player with the user name trashedRC was able to manipulate his line up after the players' games were over. In a WR spot in his line up he had Colts ' WR Moncreif. I checked again in five minutes and noticed that now Redskins' WR Garçon was in the slot where Moncreif was. This line up where I noticed this was in first place. Later in the night after the Sunday night game a line up appeared out of nowhere in a top spot that had a list of players all with high scores. Some of those players were not starters but had a good game! I compared my lineup's standings to the first place line up quite often and this new line up was nowhere around until the end of the game! I'm having major doubts about the legitimacy of draft kings! This is something that needs to be investigated (especially line up manipulation activity at draft kings) immediately. Along with the line up manipulation, I believe that a lot of the players in contests are computer generated with computer generated line ups. A lawsuit shout also be filed.
Complete Scam !!
SCAM !!!
Don't do it !! They do not let you see the other lineups until the contests are over. This gives them a chance to insert the best players from that day. You'll notice the same users win almost every single contest.
Also, if you have a problem such as substituting a player last minute, you will be met with a rude email and be called a liar.
