Fantasy sports is a popular pastime these days. People from all walks of life spend time drafting revising stats, drafting their teams, and engaging in friendly competitions.
The hobby has been around for some time, too. The first fantasy sports league can be traced back to the postwar years after WW2 but because of the obvious technological limitations of the era, they were confined to members of local communities at most.
Fantasy sports leagues as we know them today first appeared in New York in 1980. Soon, the craze took hold, evolving into a multi-million online business with more than 60m players worldwide.
MyDFS is a brand new ICO offering a decentralized blockchain-based fantasy sports
platform where players from around the world can meet and engage in competitions.

There currently are a few platforms dedicated to fantasy sports leagues in the blockchain. RankingBall, Ligercoin, and PlayChip spring to mind.
In other words, MyDFS will face competition with a number of other entities offering similar services, so it will have to find a defining feature to make a difference.

Fantasy sport leagues is a rather loved pastime. Millions of players engage in competitions every day, indulging their passion for sports.
MyDFS offers a neat proposition, backed by an impressive presence on social media and an equally impressive whitepaper, really well put together.
These factors by themselves do not guarantee success, of course, but it is a very solid start for this ICO.
We’ll revisit in due course.
