Daily Fantasy Sports on Underdog
Underdog Fantasy runs paid daily fantasy contests, including pick'em style entries and Best Ball drafts. For North Dakota residents who are 18 or older, it is a way to build fantasy lineups and compete for real prizes. Eligibility and minimum age vary by state, so confirm the rules for your location before you play.
Underdog is best known for two products: pick'em contests, where you choose how a handful of players will perform, and Best Ball, a season-long draft format that runs on autopilot once you set your roster. Both are fantasy contests scored on how real athletes perform in real games. The sections below cover how each format works and how to get started.

How Daily Fantasy Works
In daily fantasy you build a lineup of real athletes and your entry earns fantasy points based on what those athletes do in actual games, such as yards, points, rebounds, or goals. Entries are pooled into a contest, and the lineups that score the most points take a share of the prize pool. You are competing on how well you build and manage a roster, not against a single operator setting a price.
Contests run across the major sports, and entry amounts range from small stakes up to larger tournaments. Your results depend on player performance and on the choices you make when you fill out an entry.
Underdog's Contests
Two formats define the Underdog experience:
- Pick'em entries. You choose two or more player projections and decide whether each player will finish higher or lower than the listed number. Payouts scale with how many selections you combine and how many you get right.
- Best Ball drafts. You draft a roster once, and Underdog automatically sets your optimal lineup each week for the rest of the season. There is no in-season roster management, no adds, and no trades. Best Ball Mania is the marquee large-field tournament for this format.
Underdog also leans on its own research content, which some players use to prepare drafts and entries. Contest availability can differ by state, so the exact menu you see in North Dakota may not match what is advertised nationally.
