The welcome bonus for new depositors starts at 40%, even for a deposit as small as $10. This maxes out at $150 in bonus money, and is released over time as you enter more contests.

DraftStreet does have a higher rake than average, but this can be helped by taking advantage of deals in the Street Cred store.

The top 20 players from the leaderboard at the end of every month are automatically entered into a $250 Freeroll.

DraftStreet came out in 2010, and came out big, offering fantasy contests in more sports than any other fantasy site. There are free games available for members who are either trying to learn the system ebfore making a deposit or people who don't like to risk money on their teams. The team at DraftStreet decided to offer not only the largest selection of sports leagues to participate in, but also added several unique scoring and drafting methods.

Salary cap is the standard method for drafting a team, but there are also two more ways of putting together a roster: Snake Draft, and Pick 'em. Snake Draft works by having members work through a round-by-round selection, with the draft order randomised before the match and the order in which players are picked reversed on even numbered rounds. In Pick 'em you are presented with 8 tiers of players, usually consisting of 6-10 players for each tier, and you then form an 8 person team from the tiers.

The game lobbies at DraftStreet seem a little busier than at some other fantasy sites, but a brief glance at the drop-down menus will quickly narrow down the list of players and make it easier to draft a team. Rosters in Salary Cap and Pick 'em games can be changed up until the scoring period starts.

A mobile site has been created and offers the same features as the main website in a good looking, functional format. It went live in July 2012 and has been getting very positive reviews ever since.

Members can contact the DraftStreet team for any support reason using their ticket system, by sending an email, or by calling a toll free number: 888-272-1730.

The rake at DraftStreet is a bit higher than average, but it becomes more reasonable for the more expensive contests. For example, a $2, 10-Man contest has a 15% rake, but a $480 Head-to-Head contest only has a 4.8% rake. For most games you'll find the rake to be in the 8.3% to 9.1% range.

Take a look at the Street Cred store after joining, if used properly it can add up to a 0.5% reduction in rake, which will definitely add up over time.
