Football season is finally here and DraftKings has both College Football and NFL contests covered this week - so what better way to celebrate than to try and win your fair share at DraftKings? Over $1 Billion in prizes will be awarded in DraftKings' fantasy football contests this season, and this weekly spotlight is the place to go to find out what's happening each week.
Another week, another new contest. Let's talk about Survivor.
$300K 3-WEEK SurVIVOR
DraftKings has announced another big tournament. Contestants can enter a lineup for just $5 for a shot at $30,000. Teams need to advance to the next week to get to the Week 7 finals of this even. About a third of all entries will advance from Week 5 to Week 6 (20,000 out of up to 69,000), and the Top 25% (5,000 of 20,000 teams) advance to the Week 7 final. All of the Week 7 finalists get cash back, with the Top 1,000 getting at least a double-up, but everyone will be eying that $30,000 first place prize. Full deails of this brand new three week contest can be found right here, including the list of all the prizes. Enter today!
THE FANTASY FOOTBALL $15 MILLION WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
DraftKings has one of the biggest fantasy football contests with the $15 Million Fantasy Football Contest / Event. Aptly called "The Biggest Fantasy Football of All Time," the Fantasy Football $15 Million World Championship will take place in Las Vegas on December 20th, 2015. 200 entrants will qualify for this event (for as little as $3). Then, the Top 10 will be featured on ESPN on NFL Divisional Weekend live in Los Angeles to compete for the chance at the top prize of $5 Million. Enter today!
