Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) is a type of online game where participants create virtual teams made up of real professional athletes. Players earn points based on the athletes' actual performance in games, such as scoring, assists, or rebounds. Unlike traditional fantasy sports, which last an entire season, DFS contests typically last just one day or one week. Participants can enter various contests with different entry fees and prize pools. DFS platforms, like DraftKings and FanDuel, allow users to compete against others for cash prizes. Players must strategize by selecting athletes while staying within a budget, making it a blend of skill and chance.
