FanDuel is a daily fantasy sports contest where users can draft players and compete against other users for the chance to win prizes.
In this case, the prize is cryptocurrency!
For the Bitcoin Bowl, which was a fantasy football contest, the prize was paid out in Bitcoin.
I wrote a little about it at the time here:
For this latest contest, the prizes will be paid out in Dash.
The contest itself will be based on the NBA and be known as the Crypto Cup.
It is set to launch on February 22nd.
There will be a free contest and a pay to play contest.
Users will have until the start of the first NBA game on Feb. 22nd to enter their lineups for either contest.
An example of what setting your lineup looks like can be seen here:
The paid contest will cost $3 USD to enter.
Ironically, FanDuel is not accepting cryptocurrency as a form of payment, only dollars.
2 Dash paid to the winner.
1.5 Dash paid to 2nd place.
1 Dash paid to 3rd place.
.5 Dash paid to 4th place
15 Dash paid to the winner.
10 Dash paid to 2nd place.
5 Dash paid to 3rd place.
4 Dash paid to 4th place.
3 Dash paid to 5th place.
2 Dash paid to 6th place.
1 Dash paid to 7th place.
Dash is currently changing hands for about $700 per coin.
Which means, if you win the free contest you could pocket roughly $1400 worth of cryptocurrency for the cost of a few minutes setting up your lineup.

I watch basketball anyways, so this will give me the opportunity to earn a few coins for my time.
I am not going to post my team here though for you all to critique. ;)
Remember, it's free to play and get those lineups in by the 22nd!
Stay informed my friends.
