How does DraftKings keep Fantasy Sports contests transparent? (US)

The option to download a CSV file isn’t available via the DraftKings Fantasy Sports app.

The GameCenter’s Standings section will show the current rank for each entry in the contest, up to 500 entries. For contests that include more than 500 entries, each Team Name will be listed up to the 500th position, and after that, only the last place Team Name for each prize tier will be listed.

For players to see the entire field of entries, you must download the CSV file. Please note, GameCenter’s live standings are provided for entertainment purposes; final contest results and prize calculations are based on the final statistics and scoring results at the completion of the contest and following a review by DraftKings.

Ownership percentage is defined as the percentage of contest entries that rostered a specific athlete during that contest. Ownership percentages are specific to each contest.

Example: A player joins an NFL contest, and rostered the athlete Patrick Mahomes. In the same contest, other players also drafted Patrick Mahomes as their main pick. Once the contest concluded, the final CSV shows that 41% of players who entered the NFL Contest owned and drafted the athlete Patrick Mahomes.
