FFFC Details – Marketing Copy For Your Use

FanDuel, the daily fantasy sports site, is having a $50,000 NFL fantasy football championship this fall. Some of you are probably thinking, what the heck is FanDuel? And most of you are probably thinking “what is daily fantasy sports?” Well, FanDuel is a site that does only single-day (baseball, hockey and basketball) or single week fantasy contests, either head-to-head or in leagues of 5 to 10 players. The long and short of it is – you don’t have to wait a full season to collect your winnings. We also simplify the process of drafting your team – there’s no live draft to schedule. Picking your team is also easy – no need for awkward live drafts, just choose the game you want to enter and select your team on your own time and you are in!

Ok, great, but what about this $50,000 NFL fantasy football championship? The contest operates the same way as FanDuel’s daily league games – it’s multiple people facing off in a one weekend contest. However, the difference with the NFL fantasy football championship is that there’s no limit to how many people can enter the contest. It’s basically a league game that has no limit. So there could be 57 people in the NFL contest game during Week 1. Or 200 or 2000.

The contest consists of the first 10 weeks of the NFL season and you can play as many or as few of those weeks as you want to. The top scorer in each weekly FFFC qualifying game will advance to the finals (there are plenty of cash bonuses for the runner-ups, by the way). The overall winners for each of those 10 weeks are then headed on an all expenses paid trip to Las Vegas, where they’ll have the chance to vie for $40,000 on Dec. 5th. Yep, on Dec. 5th, in one last league game, the 10 overall winners will square off. The winner pockets $25,000, second place gets $10,000 and third place $5,000. Not too shabby for a $10 entry fee.

So check it out and see if you can make it to Vegas and take home $25,000. (link with your affiliate link)

FanDuel Affiliate FAQ: My recently created account and deposit aren’t showing. Is something broken?

Q:   “I just clicked on my link, created an account and deposited funds… I don’t see the activity in my reports.  Is something wrong with tracking?”

A: Great question – thanks for asking it!

There are a couple of things potentially at work here that I’ll walk you through.

1.  There is a lag between when a player signs up and posts a deposit and when it shows up in the system.   We send reports up to Income Access several times a day in an automated process – If you have created the account and made the deposit within the last hour, the report may not have been sent up that included your transaction.
2.  If you haven’t completed a “money game” yet,  the system will only show the account creation and deposit activity if you ask it to.   Here’s how – If you click on your account report, then set  the appropriate date range then make sure that “new accounts” is checked, you should see activity include accounts created, deposits, and bonus money withheld.

You can also check for players who have set up accounts but not played using the API Reporting.  There are instructions on how to do this at http://gtomanagement.com/using-the-fanduel-api-feed-reporting-tool-to-view-inactive-players/

If your transactions still aren’t showing after you have waited at least an hour and checked in the places I mentioned above, please give us a call or an email and we’ll get you squared away.

Hope this helps!

Wade
