Established in 2012 and based in England, PlayON has since become the official Daily Fantasy Sports partner of Formula 1. They offer daily fantasy competitions in Formula 1, Premier League, AFL, NRL, Cricket, NBA and Golf. As they are British based, their focus is geared towards F1 and Premier League, however they do offer substantial prize pools for the other sports listed.

Created in 2016 through a union between Fox Sports and CrownBet, Draftstars has achieved its goal to become the largest DFS platform in Australia. Draftstars focus largely on the AFL, NRL, Big Bash League and Premier League soccer tournaments. Recently acquired by international gaming giant PlayUp, Draftstars continues to produce the largest DFS prize pools for Australian owned DFS operators.

The biggest Daily Fantasy Sports site in the world, DraftKings regularly offer million dollar prize pools and the opportunity for life-changing money! Even better is that they are now available to Australian DFS players. They have a great range of international sports to compete in, notably American sports such as the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL, as well as Golf, MMA, Tennis and Nascar. At this stage they don’t run tournaments on AFL, NRL or Cricket, but given their recent arrival into the Australian market, these could well be added in the near future.
