Draftkings PLayer First Initiative
As the leader in daily fantasy sports, we place an importance on listening to our valued players. The Player First
Initiative is a series of product features, applicable across all sports, that improve the DraftKings experience for all.
Enhanced Contest Eligibility
The highest-volume DraftKings players across all sports are ineligible to enter contests if the entry fee is less than $3. The highest-volume DraftKings players are also ineligible to enter contests when the entry fee is less than $5, if the prize pool is less than $25,000 guaranteed.
Multi-Entry Limit and mini-MAX
All contests with an entry fee less than $5 are 20 entries max, with the exception of contests denoted as "mini-MAX". mini-MAX contests allow players to experience the excitement of entering up to 150 lineups in a single contest, at low entry fees.
SINGLE ENTRY LIMITS
Players can enter no more than 50 Single Entry contests that are Non-Guaranteed in the same sport, entry fee, and start/end time at $1, $2, $3, $5, or $10 amounts.

LIMIT NOTIFICATIONS FROM USERS
You have the power to decide which users cannot send you notifications to join a contest or enter a league. When a user is added to this list in your preferences, you will stop receiving notifications from that user. Add players to your Limit Notification from Users settings here.
head-to-head player blocking
Players have the ability to block up to ten DraftKings opponents from head-to-head challenges in all H2H contests with entry fees below $1,000. Once you add a block, that player can no longer join your public or private Head to Head contests, send you Head to Head Challenge requests, or be auto-matched with you in Head to Head contests.
