Stadium Sport Will not be free to play

LF · February 08, 2014, 11:42:01 AM

I was wondering when and if this was coming back for this season as I enjoyed doing the comp so I went and had a look
I`ve found out that it will no longer be free to play and that they will be charging people to play.

Pay to play huh? Good luck with that

Yes it is I really like the scoring system they use
But I`ll probably be giving it a miss if they are going to charge you to play

So I wrote this to Stadium Sport

Good luck with that i know of several people including myself that played last year that will not be back and several that were going to join that will not now you want to charge people to play AF has match day games I`ll stick to that completely free version

This was their reply
we totally understand it will not be for everyone so that is fine. It is a betting platform not paid to play (which is different). So if 500 people play at $10 to enter, there is $5,000 on that match to win. But we do understand it will not be for everyone

So it looks like they are going to charge money per match not pay upfront and play as many match day games as you want.

LF · February 10, 2014, 02:25:44 PM

Me:So that means you charging per match day game not a straight up fee to play all season then? If so that`s a real rip off

Stadium Sport:No dissimilar to tatts style product or betting product. You pay to bet and win.

Me: So its basically turned into a betting site now not really a fantasy comp anymore then.

Lastest response
Yes that is correct. Becoming popular in the US with FanDuel, Draft Kings etc on the major US comps. No we wont be up for NAB and most likely starting during the AFL season. But when it is up, we have EPL developed as well.

Aholes >:(

LF · February 10, 2014, 05:35:39 PM

It also won't even be up for round 1 of the season either

nrich102 · February 10, 2014, 08:16:52 PM

Poor form stadium sport!

PowerMan · February 10, 2014, 09:59:36 PM

Not happy about this decision either.

If it was a pay per season it wouldn't be so bad, but pay per game I don't think so.

Might as well just play the AFL Match Day Fantasy which is free.
