Yahoo Sports Daily Fantasy Football is here and starts with $1 Million Kickoff contest

Kickoff is just over two weeks away, which means it’s time to open Yahoo Sports Daily Fantasy Football! Building on the newly launched Daily Fantasy, we’re now allowing entries for the first week of football season, starting things off with a $1 Million Kickoff contest.

[Yahoo Daily Fantasy Football: Enter our $1 Million Week 1 contest]

For just a $10 entry fee, daily fantasy players have an opportunity to win up to $100,000 for first place. In addition, we’re launching deposit bonuses with a new maximum deposit of $2,000. We'll match your first deposit 100 percent and if you're a full season fantasy player, we've got an even better offer -- we'll match your first deposit 200 percent! All deposit bonuses release over time. For details and rules please, click here

If you’re new to Yahoo Sports Daily Fantasy, it’s everything you love about our full season fantasy leagues, but condensed to week-long contests, for cash. Instead of drafting players, you fill out a roster with our simplified salary cap and enter either big guaranteed contests or challenge your friends in a private one. 

Daily Fantasy is easy to play within the Yahoo Fantasy app on iPhone or on any device through your browser where you can access real-time sports news and scores from Yahoo’s fantasy experts, all within the experience.
