DraftKings Daily Fantasy Review
Global Player Swap
Following up on above, if you get news that one of your players has been ruled out for the night, you can quickly remove that player from all contests and select a replacement. This is a great feature for mobile users.
Opponent Rank
A newly added feature to the roster lineup screen, this feature is very underrated as it allows players to make a lineup rather quickly if they just want to play based on the opponent rank at each position.
Player Cards
The DraftKings player cards are easily the best in the industry with a large colored page, organized stats, and plenty of news on the bottom. You can also get the salary history of a player, which is a huge feature.
Player Alerts
Once you are logged in, on the upper right hand corner of the lobby there is a "Bell" icon, and if any of your players in a lineup have news it will be posted here. This is great for knowing about injury news that could impact your teams.
Deposit/Pending Bonus
The deposit bonus releases in increments of $1 for every 100 Frequent Player Points (FPP's) you earn. FPP's are earned when joining any paid contest on the site. You do not receive FPP's when you enter free contests, such as FreeRolls.The higher the entry fee, the more FPP's you earn upon joining that contest.
Frequent Player Points (FPP)
Frequent Player Points (FPPs) are points you earn upon the start of every paid contest you enter on DraftKings.com, whether you win or lose. FPPs awarded vary per contest type (displayed on the Draft page) and are not earned for playing in FREE ENTRY games. The more contests you join and money you spend, the more FPPs you earn.
FPP Store
You can redeem your FPP into free tickets to enter contests. They start as low as $2 (1100 FPP) and go up to $270 (148,500 FPP). The store is located on the lobby page in the upper right hand corner under the "wheel" icon.
Free Games
Draftkings offers an extensive list of free games for many different sports that payout real prizes, but cost nothing to enter. You can sort the games by entry cost to be sure you enter every free game available.
DraftKings allows deposits and withdrawals via PayPal, Visa, MC, Discover, and American Express along with Dwolla. There is a $5.00 minimum deposit, which is the lowest in the industry. Withdrawals are typically processed within 24 business hours, so please be patient if you submit on a Saturday/Sunday.
