SideLeague for iPhone® & Android® Brings Short Term Fantasy Sports to the Rest of Us

CHICAGO - Dec. 3, 2014 - PRLog -- With over 41 million people playing fantasy sports in the United States and Canada this year (www.fsta.org), the opportunity for new products has never been greater.  Daily fantasy sports, which condense season-long leagues down to a day or two, have become very popular as of late with the ability to re-draft a team and win money every day.  Many daily fantasy sports sites have created a platform for professional fantasy sports players by advertising large pools with “life changing money” and ridiculous “deposit matching” campaigns.  SideLeague has decided to separate itself from the pack by choosing to focus on making a competitive platform for friends to play against one another.

SideLeague’s Vice President, Tony Giordano, believes they’ve created an "app that makes watching sports more fun for everyone, without having to dedicate tens of hours a week to research."

SideLeague’s take on what daily fantasy sports should be includes:

    - Daily/Weekly NFL, NBA, & NHL contests that require no commitment
    - 25 person contests. All guaranteed to run & payout even if they don’t fill
    - Entry fees ranging from $0-$20 and prizes ranging from $0.50-$300
    - Simple pick’em style draft with no salary cap
    - Integrated text/picture messaging and video sharing
    - Live dashboard that displays available contests that friends have already      joined (no invites required) as well as live and upcoming contests
    - Up to the minute news feeds and video highlights

New users can create a SideLeague account by logging in with their Facebook (recommended), email or playing as a guest.

Through the month of December, SideLeague is sponsoring the “Sunday Bowl Giveaway” in which the winner (and a guest) will be awarded a trip to Super Bowl XLIX.  All airline, hotel and event ticket accommodations are included. Entries are awarded to SideLeague users who join any NFL contest (including free to enter). Bonus entries can also be earned by inviting friends and using a unique promo code provided upon contest activation within the app.  See the full contest rules here.

SideLeague is available for FREE in the iTunes App Store and the Google Play Store. You can get more info at www.sideleague.com.
