Swing for the Green FAQs
FanDuel Free-to-Play Games Lineup Continually Expands
FanDuel is the oldest mainstream daily fantasy sports provider and is now the most successful online sportsbook in most states where it operates. Yet even now, FanDuel hosts a lot of free-to-play games for new and existing customers alike.
The Swing for the Green contests accounts for just some of the many free-to-play games FanDuel hosts throughout the year for various sports. In fact, they’re not even the only free PGA contests FanDuel offers.
For example, FanDuel and Calloway partnered in 2021 to host $20,000 free-to-play predictions contests for select golf tournaments. That partnership continues to yield fruit for fans to this day, with FanDuel hosting regular $20K golf contests that cost nothing to play.
Most online sportsbook operators have tried similar strategies to varying levels of success. PointsBet ran free Pick 6 NFL contests for a couple of years before discontinuing them, but FOX Bet’s Super 6 contests are still going strong.
Some sportsbooks build their free-to-play games in-house, but several prominent brands rely on contests managed by Chalkline Sports, a company that specializes in free-to-play contests.
In an interview with BettingUSA, Chalkline Sports CEO Daniel Kustelski explained that sportsbooks offer free contests to attract new users, build customer databases even in states that haven’t yet legalized sports betting, and retain current customers.
