Wish I could participate in fantasy sports.

Unfortunately, they are illegalized in a number of US states and I happen to live in one of them.

This is the US states where they are illegal: Arizona, Alabama, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, Texas and Washington state.

A case might be made for fantasy sports games being "skilled-based" and not falling under the definition of gambling. Unfortunately, there appears to be a very strange process in place determining how state governments create regulations which affect these types of things.

^ Yup... It takes some skill and a lot of hard work to be good at it, really. I think that's why it's very popular among online poker players and those who gamble in sports. But it's fun once you get the hang of it.

If you're into EPL football join hilarious' fantasy league. It's free to join.

Honestly I have never been really good at fantasy sports. I haven't played it too long, I just played 2 seasons of NBA with couple of friends from the forum and have always been the last in the league or close to last. That kinda make me get cold from fantasy sports, considering I watch an follow NBA religiously, being the last even with me taking care of the team really well and checking everyday, I felt like I would at least be alright considering there were people who joined and not checked or checked once a month at max, yet I was ranked worse than them as well.

That made me quit fantasy sports, however if I can try out once again with bitcoin, that might change soon, I could be anon and no one would mock me and I can try and even if I lose badly, no one would know it was me. There is more pride involved in fantasy sports betting than you might imagine. Unfortunately I will have to wait a lot for the new season.

I have yet to see a Daily Fantasy Sports service that accepts BTC. Do you think that there's a market for it?

I think it would be a nice addition for people who like sports and Bitcoin skill games.

What do you guys think?

How's the traffic in your site? I wanna start playing for fun. I know I'm too late to learn it as a 'skill game' (like poker) as there are some really smart people who do this for money and even have analysis code written for them in 'R'. But it seems fun.

I want to encourage you to pursue that desires you wanted in learning those online games like poker. Live betting can be so tough to play, and yet site game hosts was too smart to defend on their end. But as you continue to learn, you would be able to have the best asset that you desire for online betting. The site traffic is not significant to happen, and if ever it will happen I guess not at all times.

Two Daily Fantasy Sports sites that accept bitcoin. They are relatively new. There may be more. The above sites have threads with their respective representatives here in the gambling section somewhere.

Fantasy Sports and Daily Fantasy sports is a billion dollar industry in the US. And the US and its states have been cracking down on US facing daily fantasy sports sites lately so hopefully bitcoin fantasy sports can catch on in the states. Would be good.

Both of those sites appear dead. It surprises me that there aren't more btc fantasy sports sites. Their business model doesn't depend on house advantage or players losing consistently. One might think that would be preferable to setting up a gambling site that relies on the house winning to turn a profit. I wonder what the issue is.

Fanduel and draftkings appear to be doing ok. Is there an intrinsic reason btc based fantasy sports couldn't emulate their success?

Maybe there just isn't enough interest in that? Keep in mind that fantasy sports is mostly an American thing and online gambling is illegal in most of the US.
That would definitely explain why there isn't huge interest for it.

Now that said, I would certainly welcome it, if an existing trusted gambling provider would also host fantasy sports competitions.

Thanks for the thread, and the tips, this has been on my mind for quite a long time too. Fantasy sports is really a huge industry mainly in the US, it makes sense to make it crypto-related too.

multi stat fantasy contests for PGA, MLB, NBA and NHL. Also, we now offer users the ability to create their own private and public contests which we are pretty excited about. Were you able to use the promo code and try out the site? Any more feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I think the traffic to the CoinRoster Bitcoin Fantasy Sports website is very low, because there are only few games open/in-play shown on the front page and looks like they only support American Sports and a bunch of prop bets and Bitcoin futures. No soccer unfortunately. Is the site really running on WordPress or is it just the blog/faq side of it? Because if the main site is really running on WordPress that's pretty impressive.

I like fantasy sports and I actually used to play on ggfantasy with Bitcoin and it was a lot of fun especially the Premier League competitions. There are many fantasy sports fans around the world and there is definitely a market for that outside the USA. But it's sort of social gambling where players compete against each other and not against the house, so maybe that's why no common sportsbooks are interested in adding fantasy sports as it would require a lot of extra effort and possibly quite the infrastructure costs.

There were few and ggfantasy was a good one, They even offered a daily/weekly games for fantasy, Didn't see many posts in their topic or activity other than freerolls, so not sure if there are people who like fantasy sports here as well, that's probably the reason it went down.
I did want something like that during the NFL season and partially do now with NBA, had to do it with non-bitcoin sites though.

Yes, Already it is a huge and well established industry. If you can be the first that will help you very much and should put you at a good advantage if you advertise enough. Any addition is a good addition.
