FanDuel, a giant fantasy sports company has announced its partnership with Dash on its latest edition of “crypto cup”.

The competition which started today will consist of 18 free play contests which will hold from today September 9 to December 30 while the free play final will hold on January 6 with a chance for participants to win prizes in Dash.

Several prizes will be won in the course of the competition. There will be five weekly competitions in the first 17 weeks, spread among weeks 1-3, 5-7, 9-11, 13 and 15-17. A prize of $1,000 worth of DASH Tokens will be shared among five weekly winners.

The remaining weeks 4 and 8 will have a total prize of $5,000 to be shared between two weekly winners, while winners of weeks 12 and 14 will get $7,000 and $10,000 worth of Dash respectively.

Winners will be notified within 72 to claim their prizes in DASH. The conditions for claiming the prize will be made known to them which include a Dash wallet, the address of which must be provided for sending of funds within 30 days after providing all the required information.

The final winner of the grand cup will win a 2-day, 2-night all-expense trip with a guest of their choice to the 2019 Superbowl games holding in Atlanta Georgia on February 3.

The competition only allows single entry and participants are welcome from the United States and Canada only. In order to reach the final, a participant must participate in the 18 free play games. Successful participants will be sent an entry voucher by email for the final free play latest by January 2.

While the February edition of the crypto cup was based on the NBA playoff, this edition will be based on the NFL although FanDuel had hosted a similar NFL event in January in which winners won prizes in Bitcoin.

On August 1, FanDuel made an official announcement on Twitter of its partnership with Dash as the “official cryptocurrency partner of FanDuel” following a successful crypto cup test run.

Scott Farnsworth, a member of Dash community said this concerning the new partnership:

“FanDuel proved to be top tier in execution, marketing and maximizing the investment placed within this proposal. We personally believe that Dash brings great value to online gaming, and with the new US Supreme Court ruling regarding online gambling… this relationship provides Dash the largest exclusive foot-hold within the industry.”

With the “foot-hold” this partnership provides, will Dash rise to become stronger in the cryptocurrency market to beat the top three BTC, ETH and XRP?
