Two Daily Fantasy Sports sites that accept bitcoin. They are relatively new. There may be more. The above sites have threads with their respective representatives here in the gambling section somewhere.

Fantasy Sports and Daily Fantasy sports is a billion dollar industry in the US. And the US and its states have been cracking down on US facing daily fantasy sports sites lately so hopefully bitcoin fantasy sports can catch on in the states. Would be good.

Both of those sites appear dead. It surprises me that there aren't more btc fantasy sports sites. Their business model doesn't depend on house advantage or players losing consistently. One might think that would be preferable to setting up a gambling site that relies on the house winning to turn a profit. I wonder what the issue is.

Fanduel and draftkings appear to be doing ok. Is there an intrinsic reason btc based fantasy sports couldn't emulate their success?

Maybe there just isn't enough interest in that? Keep in mind that fantasy sports is mostly an American thing and online gambling is illegal in most of the US.
That would definitely explain why there isn't huge interest for it.

Now that said, I would certainly welcome it, if an existing trusted gambling provider would also host fantasy sports competitions.
