RotoWire Username FAQ
- Where can I get a RotoWire username?
You can sign up for a username by clicking here
- Why do I need to register with RotoWire.com?
The RotoWire games require that every team owner has a username. By doing this, we'll make it easier for you to navigate the game by not requiring you to remember several passwords or need to frequently login to the page to set your lineup and pick up free agents.
- Do you have to be a paying RotoWire.com news subscriber to use the RotoWire games?
No, you don't need a RotoWire.com subscription. You get news for your players as part of the service - but not the full service and features of a subscription to RotoWire.com
- Can I bookmark pages within the games?
Once you are logged into the game and have associated your username with a team in the game, you can bookmark the game's homepage.
If you use the same computer and browser, you won't have to login again to use any feature.
- Are there any requirements for using the RotoWire games?
Since we require usernames, you will need to use a browser that allows cookies.
If you're accessing RotoWire through AOL or Internet Explorer, make sure your PC is set up to enable cookies. Make sure you have the "cookies" enabled on your browser. You need to allow cookies to access our site. If you are using Internet Explorer, you can go to "Tools" at the top of the browser (next to File, Edit, View...) and then "Internet Options." In "Internet Options" you can click on the "Security" tab and lower your security options. That will enable our cookie to be set so you can use the site.
You can delete the current cookies file on your PC if it's causing it to not work properly, which will reset everything back to normal. For example, if you are using Internet Explorer you would select "Tools" and then "Internet Options" from the top menu bar. This should bring up a panel that has a button on it which says "Delete Cookies". Press this button, shut down ALL instances of IE, and open it back up. If that doesn't work, tech savvy users might try deleting the actual www.RotoWire.com cookies file from your computer.
If you are a Mac user and you're using the new Safari browser, make sure you download Netscape or another browser to go with your Safari program, as Safari is the only current browser not currently set up to support RotoWire (we're working on a solution to this).
If you're really having problems with AOL or Explorer, you can try downloading Mozilla FireFox (which is free at firefox.com) and begin accessing any password required sites you use through there. This will work, because Firefox has a more user-friendly cookies setup.
