Are you looking for the best place to practice fantastic sports? Just because it’s the playoffs doesn’t mean fantasy football is over. Many apps allow you to create daily fantasy lineups with the potential to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The best fantasy sports apps
Benzinga reviewed the most popular daily fantasy apps on the market to find the most user-friendly and secure ones. In this growing space, new websites and apps are popping up every day, so it’s important to find ones that are reliable and easy to use.
5. Monkey Knife Fight
Monkey Knife Fight (MKF) is a new website. MKF has found ways to differentiate itself from other apps in the space. MKF offers many different ways to play the daily fantasy, including mini-games and prop bets.
The verification process and funds page are industry standard, allowing PayPal plus credit card as payment methods. MKF also offers tons of bonuses for free money when depositing, and it is matched only DraftKings Inc. (NASDAQ: DKNG) on the amount.
A disadvantage of MKF is that its user base is unaware of others in the space. This factor can be both good and bad as the jackpots may be lower, but with less competition you may have a better chance of winning.
4.Yahoo
Like MKF, Yahoo is newer to the Daily Fantasy game but with a much more developed experience in the sport. Yahoo offers all major sports and offers many contests. The user interface (UI) on Yahoo’s fantastic site is easy to use, even for new players.
Yahoo’s DFS competitions are set up similarly to old DraftKings and Fanduel players, but have some slight differences that make Yahoo a great place to switch it up if you’re looking for multiple places to compete in Daily Fantasy sports. One downside to Yahoo is that unlike MKF, there isn’t a whole lot of variety in terms of contest types. Most of the games hosted on Yahoo’s site are the same salary-based setups that have been the basis of DFS.
3. FantasyDraft
FantasyDraft is the standard when it comes to daily fantasy contests. Almost all FantasyDrafts are salary based with a few options for different structured game day payout contests. Nothing stands out strongly about FantasyDraft, but it seems to have no downsides on its site.
For payments, FantasyDraft accepts credit cards and PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL), similar to other sites in space. Ultimately, FantasyDraft is a run-of-the-mill everyday fantasy site. It doesn’t offer anything special or extra, but if you’re new to DFS, FantasyDraft might be a good option.
2. DraftKings
The original DFS app is still one of the most powerful on the market. A downside of DraftKings is that its support team can be slower than other sites simply because of the number of DraftKings users.
The great thing about DraftKings is that it has contests and games for virtually every sport you can think of – you can play DraftKings games every night for weeks before playing the same contest twice. Not to mention that DraftKings also offers a sportsbook and casino for users looking to expand beyond DFS.

1. FanDuel
FanDuel has been a staple in the daily fantasy community. Fanduel, like DraftKings, offers a wide variety of games, including a sportsbook. One of the original space gamers, FanDuel is the best option for the new gamer looking for an easy to use and safe option for everyday fantasy sports.
Like other names in the space, FanDuel has great promotions for new users and free ways to enter contests for users who want to get started before depositing their own money.

What are the Daily Fantasy Sports apps?
Fantasy sports have been around for over 30 years. But Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) is new – the idea is that instead of drafting a fantasy team for an entire sports season, you create a lineup of players for a single day or night.
Typically, you have a set budget and each player is assigned a specific dollar amount. You need to create a lineup of players that is below this budget, so you can’t select all the best players, because then you would have gone over your budget.
DFS Delights
You can leverage many different options for DFS. FanDuel is the best option, especially for new users. However, it may be a good idea to create accounts in different places to see which games and user interface you like the most.
Joining different apps is also a great way to make sure you take advantage of all the promotions and offers on offer.
