Underdog Fantasy

Underdog Fantasy is a rapidly growing sports gaming platform famous for popularizing the "Best Ball" format. In Best Ball, users draft a team at the beginning of the season, and the system automatically uses their highest-scoring players each week; there is no roster management or waiver wire work required. This "draft it and forget it" style appeals to busy sports fans.

In addition to Best Ball tournaments with massive multi-million dollar prize pools, Underdog offers a "Pick'em" game similar to PrizePicks. Investors in the company include Mark Cuban and Kevin Durant, adding to its credibility. It is a legitimate platform that has paid out huge sums to fantasy sports winners across the United States.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Best Ball?

Best Ball is a fantasy format where you draft a team once, and there are no trades, waivers, or lineup settings for the rest of the season. The system automatically calculates your optimal score each week based on your best-performing players. The cumulative score at the end of the season determines the winners.

2. Is Underdog Fantasy legal?

Yes, Underdog Fantasy operates legally in over 40 US states and all of Canada (except Ontario) under fantasy sports regulations. It is not classified as sports betting, which allows it to serve markets like California and Texas where traditional sportsbooks are banned.

3. How fast are withdrawals?

Underdog Fantasy processes PayPal withdrawals extremely quickly, often within minutes or hours of the request. Withdrawals via Interchecks (e-check) may take slightly longer, typically between 1 to 3 business days depending on your bank.

4. What is the rake?

The rake (platform fee) is built into the entry fees for tournaments and contests. For pick'em games, the odds are structured so the house has a mathematical edge, similar to a sportsbook vig, though Underdog is transparent about payout multipliers.

5. Can I draft on mobile?

Yes, Underdog has a highly rated mobile app that is optimized for drafting. It features a fast and intuitive interface that makes it easy to participate in live drafts even when you are away from your computer.
