Fantasy sports have long been a part of sporting seasons across the planet. In the United States, fantasy sports are associated with the top leagues, which provide official games, including the National Football League and the National Basketball Association. In the United Kingdom, fantasy football based on the English Premier League is extremely popular and there are several versions of the game available. The question is, can you bet on fantasy sports?

Some fantasy sports games are free to play yet have a prize for the winner. The official NFL fantasy game is free to play, and you can create different leagues without having to spend any money. The same applies to the official English Premier League fantasy football game and despite the fact, there is a prize to be won at the end of the game, it is free to enter. Therefore, in these two examples, there is no betting involved, despite the fact that there is a prize at the end of the game.

However, if you would like to add some extra spice to your fantasy sports game, you can bet on the outcome. Paying a fee to enter a fantasy sports game that has a monetary prize at the end is betting. Fanteam is a good example of a website and app that has been created to allow people to bet on fantasy sports. The traditional fantasy sports are played over the course of a season or tournament and Fanteam allows you to play for monetary prizes across a whole season or event. You will be charged a set fee to enter the competition and the winner will take away the prize, which can sometimes be over $1 million.

An alternative form of fantasy sports betting that has taken off in recent years is daily fantasy sports. Each day there is a new competition to enter, and you do not have to wait until the end of the season for the outcome. You may not want to have to play for a whole season to try and win a prize, especially if you are busy and may forget to adjust your team prior to the next round of games. That is where daily fantasy sports betting comes in handy, and you can bet on tournaments that last only one day or over the course of a weekend. You can even choose to play fantasy eSports events, which is an exciting addition to the online fantasy sports betting world.

That is not all and daily matchups is another form of fantasy sports betting that is proving popular among punters. You can pick up to 10 different duals and this sets players against each other, such as two quarterbacks in the NFL or two strikers in soccer. You can back which player you think will get the most points and the more duals you add to your betting slip, the better the return if you win.

So, there are many ways to bet on fantasy sports and you can choose to bet across a season or on individual events.
