FanDuel Launches iPhone App
For those of us who have been waiting for a mobile offering from FanDuel, the prayer has finally been answered! The timing couldn’t be any better with football season right around the corner, and this announcement will surely spark some interest in those who can’t be around a computer at lineup lock each night. You’ll now have full (and much more convenient) access to your teams/lineups from anywhere with an internet connection! You can download the app in the App Store (iOS only), so get moving iPhone users!
Download it FREE from the App Store
FanDuel has also offered up some very sweet promotions for RotoGrinders members, you can find more details towards the bottom of the article. One lucky member will walk away with a brand new iOS (Apple) device, but you’ll need to be clever to be crowned champion of this contest. In addition to the new iOS device, FanDuel will also be giving away some updated swag in a RotoGrinders-only freeroll, with more details below.
A potential FanDuel mobile app has been discussed in the forums more times then I can count, so it’s nice to see the folks at FanDuel silence the critics with a truly impressive release. As an iPhone user myself, I’ve certainly had extensive experience with using FanDuel’s site on the go, but this app is in a league of it’s own compared to anything you could do through FanDuel on a mobile device. Without further ado, let’s get into the specifics of the app and the details of the RotoGrinders exclusive contests!
The FanDuel iPhone App Has Arrived + RG Exclusive Contest!
One of the most requested FanDuel product improvements was an official mobile app, so the fine people at FanDuel are very happy to exclusively announce it’s release right here on RotoGrinders.
They’ve completely rebuilt the FanDuel experience for the iPhone; from joining contests on the fly, to a revolutionary live scoring experience, this could very well be the best fantasy mobile app ever created.
Some notable features include:
- Find contests and build rosters quickly
- View your upcoming entries organized by lineup
- Make multiple entries with just two taps
- Quickly see which contests to watch with a brand new live scoring visualization
- Deposit, withdraw and more from the app
With regular season football roughly a month away, this is the perfect time to get the app out to the most dedicated FanDuel users. You will have the opportunity to get used to the new experience during baseball, while also getting prepared for the massive football launch. The app looks great from the jump, and FanDuel will be updating the app with even more features all throughout football season. Let them know what you think of the app by reaching out to support@fanduel.com.
In conjunction with the app release, FanDuel is also announcing a RotoGrinders exclusive contest! Up for grabs is a brand new limited edition FanDuel shirt celebrating the mobile app launch. You will have the opportunity to win it in a freeroll celebration taking place this Friday! The first 15 finishers all get this limited edition FanDuel shirt. Check out the link in the forum thread from metsfan828 (Len from FanDuel).
Last but not least, FanDuel will be giving out an iOS (Apple) device to the RotoGrinders member who sends Len the best 30 second video describing where they will be playing FanDuel now that they have the app. Bonus points if you include a shot of the app in your video. Len will be choosing the winner, and will announce it late next week. Send all submissions to len@fanduel.com!
