Daily Fantasy

Not a hot take, but daily fantasy for esports is better served as a focused, global offering.

—DraftKings (Sal. Cap) - LoL, CS2, CoD & Valorant
—Fan Duel - 0️⃣
—PrizePicks (Pick ‘em) - LoL, CS2, CoD, Valorant, Dota 2; most diverse
—ParlayPlay (Pick ‘em) - LoL, CS2, Valorant
—Dabble (Pick ‘em) - LoL

Don’t spot a trend? NP.

Listed operators are US only; a few have expanded outward, but prize pools remain distinct for each jurisdiction. A symptom of fx risk.

These folks also wrongly apply a trad’l DFS paradigm to esports.

(1) Salary cap contests simply do not work for the category. Esports fans do not recognize players by their financial worth as compared to traditional professional sports.

(2) Pick ‘em is more engaging. But using the last 3 products is a tad uninspiring. No game-specific copy. No historic stats. Nothing. They’ve also removed the P2P element, so you’re competing against the house. :/
