Do you play daily and weekly fantasy sports? Then you need to check out Owners Box, the new kid on the DFS block.
Owners Box, like other daily and weekly fantasy sites, will give you credits matching up to a certain amount for your first deposit. If you are looking to check out Owners Box for the first time, click the link here.
Getting Started
From the beginning, getting started was a fairly quick process. Along with the website, Owners Box has an app for both Android or Apple devices. Before making a deposit, Owner's Box will verify that you are eligible to use their platform, depending on where you live. (Make sports betting legal in all 50 states, already!) After your deposit is verified, you can select a contest to enter.
Features
Owners Box contests are mostly Superflex rosters. The lineup is one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, a tight end, two flex spots, and a superflex spot. The site utilizes a $50,000 salary cap to set your roster.
Much like other sites, Owners Box also credits you for referring others, utilizing what they call "OwnersBucks." A percentage of your entrance to a contest is considered OwnersBucks. Depending on your ranking and status as a participant, small percentages can be converted to money to use towards contests.
Contests
There are tournament-style or head-to-head snake draft contests that you are able to choose between. The snake draft contests have up to 16 participants. Owners Box also allows individual defensive players (IDP) to a head-to-head match you create, and best ball scoring is also an option.
Personal Experience
In my opinion, the Owners Box interface is simple and easy to use. I recommend giving it a chance, whether you're a DFS vet or new to the game. You can start today by signing up here. I have attempted two weekly tournaments also participated in a head-to-head contest with fellow IDP Guys writer Aaron Maberry. Below, you can find one of the lineups I am setting for this week.
This Week’s Roster
Taylor Heinicke, QB: $6,100
Najee Harris, RB: $7,100
Javonte Williams: RB, $5,100

Give It a Try
As it is with anything new, it may take some time to adjust to a different platform and straying from the norm. Owners Box has taken its time to establish a solid website and interface. With the number of options to increase your initial deposit or enter a free contest, it would be foolish to not give it a try. Sign up, make a deposit, and enter your lineup today!
