Fanduel Promo Code and Review

Traditionally, FanDuel has offered two main forms of contests: ‘cash games’ and ‘GPPs.’

In cash games (also known as double ups), users compete to finish in the top 50% of the contest to win double their entry fee. A special version of the cash game is the Head-to-Head contest, where two users compete directly against each other to double their money.

In GPPs, a field of contestants play for a limited number of larger prizes. In this sort of game, the prize structure is somewhat exponential–the first place winner may win upwards of 25% of the prize pool, while the last qualified winner (about the 75th percentile) wins about 1%.

Although contest structure has generally remained the same, FanDuel has recently begun to experiment with roster structure. Within each sport, FanDuel now offers a bevy of different roster builds.

Some new roster structures include:

Single Game contests, which feature smaller lineups that focus on a single match. In this lineup, fantasy managers designate a ‘MVP’ player that receives a multiplier on their points.

For instance, if you designate a player as your MVP in an NFL contest and they score 20 fantasy points, the MVP multiplier of 1.5x would scale their point total up to 30.

Snake Draft contests, wherein fantasy managers draft their fantasy lineup directly against other users as opposed to building one with a salary limit.

For NFL games, FanDuel now offers a SuperFlex roster contest, which is an roster that includes a ‘superflex’ position that allows users to play two quarterbacks (as opposed to the usual one).

Within the NBA, FanDuel offers a 3-Point Challenge, wherein users select three shooters that only earn points when they make a three-point shot.
