Deposit Requirements and Supported Deposit Methods
The minimum deposit at FanDuel is $10. If a particular deposit method has a method-specific minimum higher than $10, then that higher amount would take precedence. FanDuel accepts all major credit cards and debit cards, including those backed by American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa.
FanDuel Deposit Methods
Although FanDuel caters to the North American customer, it does accept some Europe-centric cards, such as Visa Electron, which is part of the Visa Family, and Maestro, which is part of the MasterCard Family. Gift, prepaid and reloadable cards backed by the above companies are also accepted, but you should make sure to hold on to that card because FanDuel will want to use this method when you make a withdrawal. FanDuel also accepts PayPal, and it does not currently accept wire transfers and the like.
As of this review, FanDuel supports football (NFL and NCAA), baseball (MLB), hockey (NHL) and basketball (NBA and NCAA). Many of the leagues on FanDuel are daily leagues that run for just a single day, but you can find leagues that go on for longer periods, including entire seasons.
How to Play a Fantasy Football Contest
So you’ve registered at FanDuel, and made your initial deposit. What’s next? Let’s say you’re a football fan. Log in to FanDuel and click on either the NFL or CFB icon, which will be located in a vertical menu to the left or in a horizontal menu up top depending on your browser orientation. Next, choose between “Tournaments,” “Leagues,” “Head to Heads” and “50/50s & Multipliers” by selecting the appropriate header.
If you’re unsure of what type to play, choose Leagues. FanDuel will now present you with a list of available leagues, and you can search this list or sort by a number of characteristics, including size, entry count, entry fee, prize pool and start time. Once you’ve found a league that suits you, click the green “Enter” button to begin.
FanDuel leagues use a salary structure, which means that you’ll have x dollars available to complete a roster. Each player will have a dollar value assigned to him by the system based on the league settings for scoring. Your goal at this point is to field a legal team while making the best use of your available resources. Most leagues allow you to drop and add players as the season progress along as you remain within the salary cap. It’s often easy to pick starters who’ll produce, but these leagues are often won with production generated from players who are undervalued on any given Sunday.
If you like FanDuel, you’ll also be sure to like DraftKings.
