AFL Daily Fantasy Offers Huge $200,000 for Round 1!

March 19th 2017, 2:50pm, By: admin

AFL Fantasy Tips

The 2017 AFL season begins this Thursday night and not only does that mean our AFL betting tips kick back into full gear, it means another massive year of AFL Daily Fantasy is set to begin!

For those who opted to give AFL Daily Fantasy at Draftstars and MoneyBall a miss last year, then now is the time because there will be more than $200,000 awarded to AFL fantasy players in Round 1 alone! That's more than four times greater than the entire season prizes on offer at the free-to-enter SuperCoach type competitions   

If you are unfamiliar with how Daily Fantasy Sports work, basically you enter a DFS contest (or 'tournament') at varying buy-ins ranging from free to $200. You are then given a virtual salary cap ($100,000 at Draftstars) and must then select a team of nine players who will score fantasy points based on stats like kicks, tackles etc - but the catch is you won't be able to fit all the guns you want in your team under the salary cap! The team who scores the most fantasy points, wins the tournament! There are also payouts similar to a poker tournament which sees the top 15-20% of entrants taking home some cash for their time!

Here is how AFL Round 1 Daily Fantasy looks at the two biggest Australian Daily Fantasy Sports websites.  

Draftstars - Massive Round 1 AFL DFS!

There is arguably no DFS site in Australia bigger than Draftstars - especially when it comes to AFL where they are hosting the biggest AFL contests during Round 1.  

AFL Daily Fantasy Draftstars 
 

Draftstars are kicking off Round 1 with a $20,000 Guaranteed Blues vs Tigers DFS contest. These single game ones are a great option for those that want to give DFS a try for the first time as it's very quick and easy to select a team made up of players from the season opener. The contest cost $15 to enter, the top 250 entrants will take home at least $15 and the winner will turn their small investment into a whopping $4,000!

There will also be a $20,000 AFL Daily Fantasy contest run for Friday night's Bulldogs vs Magpies, but it's the massive $50,000 Guaranteed Saturday contest that everyone is waiting for!

Kicking off at at 4:35pm AEST on Saturday and costing $15 to enter, there will be $50,000 up for grabs including $10,000 for the winner in a DFS contest that spans all the remaining games from that day. That means players will have to pick a team with their salary from the Saints v Demons, Swans vs Port, Bombers vs Hawks and Gold Coast vs Brisbane game!

CLICK HERE TO ENTER SATURDAY's $50K AFL Daily Fantasy           

For those that want to try AFL Daily Fantasy in Round 1 without outlaying any cash, Draftstars have you covered with the FREE $10,000 BEAT BARRY comp! Just pick six players from six categories (no salary cap!) and if your team beats Barry Hall's team, share in $10,000 with all the other participants who beat Barry! That means if only four people beat Barry, they will receive $2,500 each! You're the only one to beat Barry? The whole $10,000 is yours!

Draftstars AFL Special

 

So for just $15 you can win up to $10,000 at Draftstars this weekend or you can just play the FREE Beat Barry comp and take home a share of $10,000! So make sure to click to sign-up to Draftstars today and give AFL DFS a try! You can learn more about the site on our Draftstars review page.

MoneyBall - More AFL Round 1 Daily Fantasy!  

Draftstars isn't the only place to play AFL Daily Fantasy during Round 1 as MoneyBall is also a solid option with thousands up for grabs this weekend.

MoneyBall are kicking things off with a $15 buy-in $10,000 Blues v Tigers contest that will see the winner take home $1,300 and the top 179 taking home at least $34.63. The contests on MoneyBall run very similar to Draftstars, just with a different salary cap and different prices for players - the strategy etc remains the same with your goal to see your team score the most fantasy points!

MoneyBall are also hosting a $10,000 tournament for the Bulldogs v Magpies clash, but like Draftstars will be running a multi game Saturday tournament! Taking place during the same afternoon / evening game as Draftstars, the MoneyBall Saturday tournament features a $10,000 prize pool and costs $15 to enter!

So if you want to give MoneyBall a try, click to create an account today and start dominating your mates at AFL Daily Fantasy! You can also learn more about the site on our MoneyBall Australia review page.
