FanDuel Playboy Basketball Championship
Do you like basketball, money and beautiful women? Or how about just money and basketball? Either way, the FanDuel Playboy Basketball Championship (PBC) is your ticket to take a crack at a $500,000 guaranteed contest hosted at the Playboy Mansion on February 7th, 2015.
We’re about two months away from the PBC and FanDuel DFS is hosting daily qualifiers until the end of January for as little as $2. A total of 70 seats are up for grabs and if you win a seat, you’ll be flown to the Playboy Mansion to compete against the other finalists for $500,000 worth of prizes.
Finish in first place and you’ll get $100,000. A second place finish is good for $50,000 while third place is good for $30,000. No matter what, you’ll win at least $3,000 because every qualifier will be paid just for showing up and submitting a lineup.
On contest day, you’ll go to the Playboy Mansion where food and drinks will be catered and activities hosted all over the mansion grounds. Every game will be played live while your team racks up points and you enjoy the festivities.
This won’t be the first time FanDuel has hosted a big event at the Playboy Mansion. The 2014 Playboy Football Championship for NFL week 12 sent 75 people to the mansion and it looks like it was a blast. Here’s a little taste of what you can expect if you win a PBC qualifier:
There’s going to be a total of $750,000 up for grabs between runner-up qualifying contest prizes and the main event. Win a seat in any qualifier and you’ll get $700 for airfare, free lodging plus entry for 2 to the Friday night reception and Saturday viewing party. You can win up to 3 prize packages worth $3,000 each. If you win more than one seat, you can donate the additional seats to a third party or redeem them for cash.
Qualifiers will be hosted every week with entry fees ranging from $2 to $100. Join a contest, draft an NBA lineup and score fantasy points like normal. If you take first place, one prize package is yours. All you need to do is visit FanDuel.com and check the NBA lobby for a list of upcoming qualifiers.
