As fans
continue to seek out new ways to enjoy their favorite sports, the world of
fantasy sports has only expanded. Thousands of applications offer sports
enthusiasts the chance to build their own team made up of their favorite
basketball, football, soccer, baseball and hockey players (or any other popular
sport you can imagine) and compete against friends and strangers alike. The
market for these apps includes options for both those looking to play for fun
and those who want to bet actual money.
The latest
trend in this arena (pun intended) is daily fantasy sports apps, for those
sports fanatics who aren’t satisfied with updating their fantasy teams only
once a week.
Reasons to play daily fantasy sports:
- It's a Lot of Fun: No one would use these apps if they weren’t engaging and enjoyable. Not only do users get the satisfaction of playing the team manager they always dreamed of being, they also get to compete directly with their friends and family, extending the fun of competition from the app to the real world.
- You Can Win Real Money: Gambling is addictive for a reason. For those who aren’t satisfied with just the top spot on a leaderboard, some apps offer users the chance to wager real money and win big when their players succeed.
- Convenience: One of the major draws of daily fantasy sports apps, as opposed to weekly fantasy sports, is the casualness it offers. Users can draft and trade players at their leisure, whenever it suits them, instead of having to put aside a large chunk of time once a week to get all their team-building done.
- It's Easy to Deposit and Withdraw: Depositing funds and withdrawing winnings has only become easier over the years with the advancement of payment gateways and direct-to-bank APIs.
- Variety: In order to keep fantasy sports enthusiasts engaging with apps daily, many companies (like FanDuel and DraftKings) offer users the opportunity to create teams for multiple major sports and leagues, keeping them busy all week. Some apps even offer fantasy leagues for more obscure sports, like cricket, rugby and tennis.
Suffice
it to say, there’s a lot of money to be made both in using fantasy sports apps
and in running them. If you are looking for help developing your own fantasy
sports mobile app or website, you should consider contracting a proven software
