Anyone join Fan Duel with their ad that they double your deposit? Make sure to read the terms and conditions. They only let you use that matched money $1.00 for every $25 you spend. So if you put $100 down initially you are only going to get $4 matched before your original hundred is gone. To get your $100 match you have to actually play $2500.

Pretty crappy and deceptive in my eyes.

It's a scam, it's always a scam. Next thing you know you win some money and they make it real hard for you to extract it, like REAL hard. Somehow your money will always stay in play even though you've "made" money. Before you know it your luck runs the other way and your at 0 or negative again.

House always wins.

That's pretty standard that you have to grind out a deposit bonus. Otherwise, people would just scam it.

Anyone try draft Kings?

Sure do, use it every week.

They have a fantastic 2 buck pool that you build your team and see how they do. They then pyramid the pay based on the rank of your team.

Absolutely love it, it is cheap. I generally do pretty well and double my 2 bucks per week haha. Just something to keep the time going by. They also gave me a free 10.00 for being a yearlong customer.

I have never heard of these leagues until this year. And they are now being advertised really hard. TV and radio constantly. Seemed very fishy just listening. It read and sounded like a late night infomercial. Especially FanDuel. How long have these been around?

Fanduel just raised a ton of money. And they're spending it.

Yeah that is incredibly deceptive.

I'm kind of curious to hear how the authorities don't consider this sports gambling, which is illegal everywhere except Nevada.

(Yes I know a couple other states have a limited permission to make bets, but none have the full range permitted in The Silver State)

The UIGEA made it legal. Google.
