Editors Note: FantasyDraft.com is a great place to play in smaller contests against fewer competitors. The scoring system for NFL is the same as DraftKings so it makes drafting players easier for me since I already play at DK.
What you see when landing at Fantasy Draft.
The site is super easy to use and they have plenty of lower stakes games which I personally like to play in. They offer beginner and intermediate contests which keep the seasoned professionals away. I’m playing in those this NFL season.

Fantasy Draft.com Quick Details
The contest lineup. This image is showing MLB right now, just because it’s what happened to be coming up next.
There are multiple tabs at the top you can click that will filter the contests shown below.
Since I’m new I want to take advantage of the beginner only contests where I can. I clicked ‘PGA’ and then ‘Beginner’. This shows me the PGA contests that are beginner only. This means I’m playing new guys and not against the FD regulars.
You can click on a contest name to bring up all the details including prize payouts, rules, games and decide to enter it or not. Once you click enter you are taken to where you draft your players.
No. 1, I clicked on upcoming PGA contests – No. 2, I clicked on “Beginner” contests – No. 3 Now all of the upcoming beginner contests are listed, today, some as low as a buck!
Promotions
Here are the main promo’s and perks that players are talking about with FantasyDraft
- Get 10% of your rake back and 10% of anyone you refer.
- Live “Carolina Millions” promotion for NFL 2017/2018
Games and Sports Offered
Games are salary cap based. In NFL you have 100k to spend to build your team.
- NFL
- MLB
- PGA
- NBA
- NHL
And they offer these types of contests:
- Beginner / Intermediate
- Guaranteed tourneys
- Leagues
- 50/50’s (double up’s)
- Multipliers
- Head-to-Head
- Qualifiers / Satellites
This is a pretty common / straightforward set of contests and sports for the DFS market.
Building a lineup
This is what it looks like when drafting your team. Don’t take my advice when it comes to picks. I know next to nothing about current MLB.
If you have played at other DFS sites then this is a no-brainer. Potential players are on the left hand side sorted by position. Once you add them to your lineup they move over to the right hand side on your team. Your salary cap and average per player left updates as players are added or removed from your team.
Once you have all players and positions filled you click ‘enter this lineup’ and one more screen to confirm your selection. Then your balance is deducted from your wallet and you are in the tournament.
Final Thoughts
FantasyDraft is a quality choice for DFS players looking for somewhere less crowded than the big two sites (FanDuel and DraftKings). They offer new players a quality fantasy site, 100% deposit bonus and a reputation of fast payouts.
I am playing myself in some of the NFL contests this year. The big entry contests have about 4500 seats total. Buy-in’s range from $1 up to $50 in the tourneys I’m looking at. Most contests with less than a $10 buy-in have a few thousand entries available total. This is considerably less than the big two sites. It gives those of us who want to try something different a great opportunity to do so.
Here’s what they believe at FantasyDraft.
