Yes, we know how bookies love Accas's and how much value they offer to the punter. 
You do not get paid first for GPP contests of course, regardless it is still top heavy payout. Most weekend's one will be lucky to break even with cash positions. Twenty team buy-in's for the GPP is £100. Just ten team buy-in is £50. Go on a cold streak and in no time bankroll is busted.
My point is these markets hold greater appeal to the casual, newbie, fish or whatever they are called in DFS. Hence why Bet4the best have scrapped salary pricing and also offer this type of markets. For a new platform, they doing quiet well too.

where 31% of people cash would be pretty unlucky, but even if it does happen, it is comparable to accas where people lose 20 weeks in a row waiting for that one big bink.
And cash game wise I think you are completely wrong, thats like saying you'll be lucky to win at poker (maybe a few years ago when games were easier), yes the average person won't win at heads up fantasy, but if you're doing it a fair amount and researching then I'd argue you would win.

Agree Jean with your observation on the drawback of their game. In all the time I have played on UK DFS site's, just a handful have bothered to do a survey and customer feedback to improve their product & engage with the customer.
PlayOn rep did come in this forum to hear suggestions few months ago during the International break. For me the number one issue is having non-staring players and not being allowed to have tools to make changes. Playon have taken off the early kick-off game on Saturday, but still has issues like all the other sites.
Why call it daily fantasy game ? We might as well call it daily guess the manager/coaches thought process game. To the first UK DFS site that has a functional late swap tool, my money will go to them. Till then I play small stakes and risk nothing. This functionality is very long over due!

It might be top heavy but they pay a lot of places, take mondos 10k gtd, 450 people are paid out of 1453, that is loads % wise! Not cashing in 20 in a row

Disagree with this too, sorry. Playon changed it to 3pm+ for the weekly game this week, so you can see vast majority of teams. If you want to take players from Arsenal/Liverpool that aren't today then you have to take in the % that they won't play, or you can play it safe and just go for all 3pm players you know are playing.

We agree to disagree of course. I am just trying to see it from vantage point of a new player to DFS, how to do you make the game fun for them and they can keep playing regularly. They call this in other places, customer engagement and retention.

Mg affiliate program isn't even really fully functional yet. But then again I prob am not bringing in a ton of rake so I might not be a top priority affiliate.
Between not liking the scoring system, the pain it is to post h2h, and not having got any relevant money yet I basically stopped playing on mg. Dk is just a much better product even with some of my grievances with them. If you don't have access to dk though mondogoal is far and away the best option however.

So I switch my attention to Mondo, Draft 11, Fan Team and bet4best who offer La Liga games. What is far and away is the best depends on the day & contest offers.
Now to the site that will offer at the end of season the biggest prize pool for a Global League Championship then I will be wowed.
Till then let me go back to doing homework.
