DraftStars is currently the biggest provider of Daily Fantasy Sports contests in Australia. They cover all of the popular Australian Sports and offer up the biggest prize pools in the market.
DraftStars was founded in 2016. It is a joint venture between some of Australia’s most popular sports and media brands.
CrownBet, Fox Sports and Seven West Media teamed together to launch the platform which is also the official DFS partner of the AFL – just like CrownBet is the official wagering partner of the AFL.
DraftStars are based in Melbourne and licensed out of the Northern Territory.
The website is simple and effective, the lobby (below) is where all the action happens and where players find the contests they want to participate in.
You can also click on the columns below ‘SP’, Prize, Name, Buy-In, Entries to sort through all of the contests in the lobby to find the contests that is right for you.
DraftStars cover AFL, NRL, NFL and NBA and their weekly prize pools are now much higher than that of competitors.
You can click on any of the contests you see in the lobby to bring up the ‘more information’ screen that gives you more expansive details around payout structure, contests rules and scoring systems.
Once you’ve selected what contest you’d like to join the real action begins.
Selecting your team on DraftStars is very easy and the information and analysis they provide on players make the tough decisions a little bit easier.
