Does DataForce Really Offer the Best Fantasy Football Money Leagues?

So far as we know, yes, our prize returns are the highest anywhere. It puzzles us why more sites haven't begun to offer flat-lined commissioner fees. It takes just as much effort to monitor a $50 league as it does a $500 league, so why charge more?

This page doesn't show all of the season-long fantasy football sites available, of course, but it's a good representation, reflecting sites that offer a similar service to ours.

How do we do it?

We've actually fielded a lot of questions about how we can operate at this price. The fact is, DataForce, LLC has been around for a long time; we're well-funded and our entry into the world of Fantasy Football is well-planned. It's also a labor of love. Running a fantasy football commissioner service is what Leslie and I want to do with our lives, now and after we retire. That counts for a lot.

Never-the-less, it is a business, and we do make money. It works for us because we leverage the use of our servers, we keep our data feed costs down, and we provide our own software development.

It may be that future regulation of the industry will require a change in our fee structure. We'll see. But we intend to remain the best provider of fantasy football services at the best price on the internet!
