Something I absolutely did not expect to hear today!!!!

This reminds me of few particular restaurants in central London which make their customers make a lengthy queue outside in the cold despite them being able to seat them inside with plenty of space available.

You walk past you imagine it to be a very popular place. Tease is the oldest tool in the game. So DK is no pioneer in this aspect.

Anyone got teams on Mondo tonight unable to see their entries? Imagine it's affecting everyone?

Wait I've picked Begovic... Game over. We go again.

Still can't see my entries and the games are almost done. Anyone else?

Can't see mine either. Would not mind if they repaid the entries for tonight....(I hate Lennon btw)

Its the same for me as well

This has happened before with Mondo hasn't it? Seem to remember some tweets a few months ago.

Only two entries tonight, one for the championship ticket and one for shoot-out game. I see my two line up's fine under running contests.

Noticed they taking ages to settle games and running updates slowed down.

Two fixtures slate is scrapping the barrel time anyway.

Thanks guys. Couldn't see it mentioned on Twitter so thought it might just be me.

Hi!
1) A player, who is ready to lose some money just to have fun, but doesn't want his statistics to be public, can simply opt-out. Also it can make him start to think what kind of games, formats and opponents he should avoid. Even if you have fun and ready to lose some money, it's always better to lose less often and win more often. Maybe it helps him to think more serious about his fun and study more. It's a lot better than thinking "I don't care how much I lose, but I care that some players can see it". We see more positive moments for them than negative.

2) If all what losing player cares about is that his results are displayed, he will simply opt-out, not run away.

3) Big losers are Big losers - no care about how much they lose, to whom they lose, they are not going to learn, they don't know about sites similar to us, they really don't care about all of that, this is why they are big losers .

Someone nailed it on the head with a spot-on comment a few months ago too. I rather learn, be educated than get brainwashed anytime no matter what the subject matter is.

"I think this has been part of the problem for a while now. Everyone has been brainwashed into coming in and thinking they can win big money in large field tournaments but that’s where the greatest day to day variance exists. So most people, even players who WOULD have had an edge, never see the long term edge because their bled dry quickly.

This is as opposed to someone who balances out his game selection and last longer till he can realize his edge."

So while we count dates and guess about DK. How about some more upcoming start-up's in fantasy games and the like. Getting crowded and customers going to be spoilt for choice.

While big operators offer juicy prize pools, smaller sites offer the softest and fun games.

Thanks for that. I'd love to know how you come across these.

DK has launched

UK launched!!

Shame as I just finished all my mondo work for Saturday lol

Have fun guys, I may as well do some practice line ups in the meantime.

Seems like it's only available as an APP for now

Yeah I think I read that somewhere as well. Just an app at first

I can't figure out what's happening for UK customers. All figures are in $ (except for the initial "DraftKings Now Available in the UK!" email which quotes a "DOUBLE YOUR CASH up to £400*" with no T&C and no explanation of the asterisk. Are our £ deposits just converted to $, and then we're customers like any other? If so, why on earth have we waited 6 months for the "UK-specific product" to be ready?

And while I'm at it: is there a friendly way to get players stats for the season on DK (like we can on mondo by downloading the csv file)? I see we can get season stats for a player by clicking on his name when selecting a lineup, but that is about it. Salary and average points per game are the only stats shown in DKs downloadable csv.

Crosses is what I'm mostly concerned with, and whoscored.com's stats for crosses are obvisouly way off compared to what opta counts as crosses. I'd love to find at least a list of OPTA-crosses per game for each player.

Same question about the draft kings csv. No problem if not would just make it easier to have it all in one place lol

I have to wait until I go back to the UK in a couple of weeks to sign-up. Missing out on all the fun/moaning

Ok, so we're depositing in GBP but it's immediately converted to USD. The rate is currently 1.424, ie DK take a 1.6% commission compared to XE midmarket rate. If someone from the UK has deposited already, could you tell us what the rate would be if you withdrew?

06.84 is exchange rate when i click to withdraw in the app.
Lets see if I'm a fish, entered tonnes of gpps, its fun seeing the big prizes

OK thanks. This looks like a tad under 1% commission on withdrawals. I guess that's decent, it just sucks that we'd have to take it both ways (if the sharks from across the pond don't take all our money and save us the trouble, that is).
