Gameday allows its users to play fantasy sports on Messenger.
Gameday, a startup part of Y Combinator’s Summer ’17 batch, has made a few tweaks to daily fantasy sports so it can be accessible to everyone.
First, they’re building it into Messenger. This means you don’t have to visit a dedicated site each day and navigate a complicated UI – you just open Messenger and start chatting with their bot, which walks you through entering games and creating lineups.
It’s also totally free to play, which also cuts down on the intimidation factor and makes it fan (and family) friendly. Users can select real prizes like apparel and gift cards that can be bought with in-app currency awarded to contest winners.
And the last difference is that the games offered are simpler and designed to be more fun to play than traditional daily fantasy sports.
