There are various game styles for each sport – Classic and Pick’Em for NFL, different leagues for League of Legends and Golf, Arcade mode for MLB, and more.

The Classic game style for NFL and MLB for example, lets you create your lineup while staying under the $50,000 salary cap. The Pick’Em game style has no salary cap and makes it easier for new players to start their DFS journey.

Choose Your DraftKings Leagues Game Type

In DraftKings Leagues you can choose between two main types for your contest – Head To Head or Multiplayer. The winner takes all in H2H competitions, while the Multiplayer format allows for three or more (up to 200) participants and you can set the prize distribution.

Starting from as little as a dollar, you can set a prize pool of up to $10,600. Of course you can play for fun as well and skip the entry fees and prize structure.
