Commissions / Rake / Fees
What do they mean by Rake-Free?
First, every DFS site takes a rake, similar to a rake in Poker taken by the dealer to be paid to the ‘House’. In DFS, every $X you pay in contest entry fees, the daily fantasy site will pay a percentage of that fee to themselves, for providing the contest and the cash prizes.
However, at Fantasy Draft they do not take a rake. They pay out all of the entry fee money to the winning players. If you are a pro DFS player, you would be best to become a member (free) at FantasyDraft, which makes all of your winnings rake-free.
What are the disadvantages of the other daily fantasy sites that take a rake. The rake will either increase the entry fee or decrease the prize pool, both means less money in your pocket. At Fantasy Draft you don’t have to worry about that.
Trust & Reputation
FantasyDraft has been involved in daily fantasy sports since 2014 and have continued to take more of the market share from the DFS giants, due in large part to instilling trust in it’s players by offering rake-free contests, while the other DFS sites have been raising their rake commissions. FantasyDraft has a reputation of paying out winning prizes on time as advertised. Fantasy Draft has beginner contests to level the playing field for newbs, not having to battle the pros every time. They follow strict Safety and Privacy related to deposits, private information, and follow responsible gaming guidelines.
