The growth of daily fantasy football in the US went up 500 percent this past year with similar trends of expansion throughout the industry worldwide. This expansion has led many to express interest in a company called Moneyball. Moneyball is a Australian pay-for-play model that takes on the principle of managing a team of real-life players, but the contests finish after a day or weekend with prize pools included. Currently, Moneyball has around 1200 users, with a goal to reach 30,000 players by the NRL grand final.
Gambling has not fully merged with fantasy leagues in Australia just quite yet. However, Australia is not far behind countries like the US where around 10% of the population participate. Fantasy sports are unique in the fact that participants aren’t just gambling, but putting some skill into it as well.
How Moneyball works:
- Join a league such as the ARL or NRL. Be assigned to a public league or create a competition with friends.
- Run a draft, where everyone in your league chooses players.
- Your team will earn points based on their real life performance.
- During the season, you can drop your players and sign un-owned players or trade with other teams.
