    How do I tell if the DK league im in is ppr or standard?

    For the live leagues, am I guaranteed the amount it lists me as winning so far? It's a 25c live league i joined and lists me as winning 14c so far after tonight's game (YEAH FREEDMAN!)

    All draft Kings lobbys are PPR.

    And no, thats what you're winning right now. It will change obviously as your position rises or falls when the rest of the players play their games.

    Just started on draftkings. I got a free entry ($20 value) into the big Million Dollar Tourney for NFL this week just for signing up.

    I'll bump this thread if I win the mill

    I tried googling how much their CEO makes and I couldn't find it. I'm assuming he isn't as rich as you would think as a CEO of a billion dollar company.

    Well, NJ is on the verge of blocking draftkings/fanduel. The amount of power the Atlantic city casinos have here sucks.

    lol you didn't really think you could put in $600 and they give you $1200 right away did you? People would just cash out immediately and they would lose tons of money

    1) You earn it based on how often you play. If you play in enough games, they will give you your $600 bonus.

    $200 entry fee

    They are if you play.

    If they just gave you $600 bonus dollars, I'd have 10,000 accounts.

    Casinos will do the same thing. Give you 'free' money but you have to play through it several times.

    If you play all year and never win or lose, at the end of the year you will have $600 more dollars than you started with.

    $200 entry fee – 550 FPP
    $109 entry fee – 360 FPP
    $27 entry fee – 108 FPP
    $1 entry fee – 4 FPP
    $5,300 entry fee – 8,000 FPP

    If you don't know exactly what you are doing, I would start by playing low end 50/50's. I usually play 10-15 $10 50/50's per week. That will give you your points fairly quickly. Your bonus will be deposited into your account as you play, but you won't know it. You'll go to sleep with $300 and wake up with $305.

    2) Never seen that before. If so, its because on one lobby I played in ($300 buy-in), the rake was about $1.5m. That's one lobby. So, they can afford to do that sort of thing.
    ok thx that explains it more clearly. i already entered like 6 contests but it sucks it goes by the entry fee's.

    it was for a friends contest he started where theres like 10 people at $20 entry but prize in total is like over $400 or more. maybe its assuming every slot gets filled then....

    i'm a roto guru. i really think i'm going to be a beast at this

    and honestly i wish they gave you less money for the salary cap so you were forced into picking more sleeper scrubs. thats the way i thought it was going to be but ii can surprisingly afford a lot of higher end players at every slot.
