Sign Up and Play Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS)

    Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) is a type of online fantasy sports game where players create a team using real professional athletes from various sports. Participants compete against each other, or the house. The goal is to score the most points based on how their chosen athletes’ statistical performance is in real games. Unlike traditional fantasy sports, which typically last an entire season, DFS contests only last a single day or short period.
