The Future of Daily Fantasy Sports: FanDuel Going Public, No More Overlays, More

Takeaways from last week’s Fantasy Sports Trade Association Winter Conference were summed up on PartTimePoker.com with a special emphasis on the future of Daily Fantasy Sports courtesy of Eilers Research.

That firm “focuses on servicing the gaming equipment, technology, and interactive gaming sectors within the global gaming industry” with the keynote address for the FSTA conference given by Eilers Research Managing Director of digital & Interactive Gaming, Adam Krejcik.

Among Krejcik’s many predictions for the future of Daily Fantasy Sports:

Entry fees for daily fantasy sports would exceed the total amount of bets at sportsbooks in all of Nevada by 2016.

The biggest Daily Fantasy Sports site FanDuel to go pubic by 2016 with over $2.5 billion in entry fees.

FanDuel could enter the top 100 most popular websites in the United States in terms of page views as soon as this year.

ESPN and/or Yahoo will ultimately enter the Daily Fantasy Sports sector, perhaps through the purchase of an existing site.

TV ratings for DFS tournaments will take off by 2017, and will get better ratings than the World Series of Poker.
–NBA TV viewership will spike in 2018, helped by DFS.

Overlays and the huge skill gap between DFS pros/grinders and casual players will mostly disappear after this year.

Here’s another startling fact: FanDuel was the ninth-most downloaded app for iPhones, while DraftKings was 12th.
