AlphaDraft is one of the stars of daily fantasy eSports and is owned by legendary fantasy Sports leader FanDuel. If you are unfamiliar with eSports, no worrie. The contests operate very similarly to regular daily fantasy sports - the difference is that rather than picking your team from rosters of the NFL, MLB, or the like you will be choosing teams of top players in 'virtual sports' like League of Legends, Counter Strike and Dota 2.

If you are new to all things "Fantasy" you will find a good tutorial right on the AlphaDraft website.

Players will find the AlphaDraft interface to be intuitive and easy to navigate, whether you use the internet browser client or the iOS mobile app. Either way you go, you will find hundreds of contests open and ready for your participation.

Game formats

All of the contests have the same three basic elements. You will select a contest, choose your team, and watch to win real money. Guaranteed Prize Pool tournaments are available for entries ranging from free to $50, some will allow you to make multiple entries. 50/50's are set up so half the players win all the money and the other half win nothing at all. Winner Take All is just what it sounds like - first place wins the entire purse. AlphaDraft also offers Boosters. These contests award winners a specific percentage payout. For instance, a 10X Booster will pay out ten times your entry fee.

Cashier

At the top of every page, you will see an "Add Funds" button. Click it to see any promotions currently offered as well as deposit options. You can deposit directly with PayPal or debit/credit card.

When it comes time to withdraw, simply enter the amount you want (over $10) along with your full name and PayPal email address and you will be paid, sometimes within minutes.

AlphaDraft offers a money back guarantee too. If you lose your first contest and you don’t like AlphaDraft, simply email to get a full refund up to $25.

Promotions

AlphaDraft offers a $25 "refer-a-friend" bonus that is paid out as a 4% rebate on deposits. If you just want to get in and play, they also offer a 100% Deposit Bonus up to $250. This bonus is also paid out over time in 4% increments. If you enter a $25 contest, $1 will be returned to your account, win or lose, until you've used up your promotion.

Support and Customer Service

Currently, customer support is handled via email. With the FanDuel purchase of AlphaDraft, that may change in the near future. The FAQ section will answer most of your questions and a Fantasy Chat feature, access by tab on side bar, will let you chat with other players.
