I play on draft kings. I love it.

Im better at NFL than NBA, but I'm starting to learn NBA a little bit.

Is draft kings the same concept? How much effort do you put into it?

Same concept - except slightly different roster constructions.

I see. Hmm, maybe I'll try this weekend. Basically just CC info and that's it, right? I also reside in AZ (casino land) so I assume it's alright with laws.

I hate this. Has anyone figured out a workaround for this yet?

The billing address on my BofA acct is a tx address, think this could be a loophole?

Whole thing reeks of a scam to me. I mean if you've won money and actually received it, good for you, I bet those people are in the vast minority.

I play in La. I deposited $25 at the beginning of the season & I'm still playing on it. I hear they have gotten stricter on La. residents lately and that you can't deposit $ with a La. IP anymore, but that you can get someone in another state to deposit it for you. Not exactly sure how to pull that off. Also not sure how the payout would work if you are a La. resident and hit it big. Most I've ever won is a couple hundred and I haven't tried to withdraw any yet, just been playing on it.

It's what is advertised. They pay you out.

The "scam" is that they take either a 10% rake out of the payout for every game. So when probably millions of dollars are being gambled a week they do pretty well.

I live in Nashville. When I drove in for the Bama/LSU game a couple weeks back, it would not let me enter a contest or deposit once I crossed into the state of Louisiana. Talked about pissed!

Nice to hear that it isn't a "free" service and that they actually make money off of it so it's not a scam.

i've had some success with it. But I also play in the big tournaments so as you might expect... its usually a long shot.

the most i've won in one week was $125.

haven't come close to anything like that since.

like last week for example, I won $12 which basically paid me back for the lineups I submitted.

i played four $2 lineups and then one $5 lineup. And that was the first time in a few weeks where I actually got something back.

i had some beginners luck but not a whole lot since.

So is it basically whoever has the best lineup and then prizes go downward from each rank down to like the 50th percentile?
