Pool Rules & FAQ
Everything you need to run or join a pool on FantasyDailies. Pick a game, learn the rules, and remember — every contest is P2P.
Every FantasyDailies contest is P2P (peer-to-peer). Buy-ins, payouts, and buybacks are settled directly between players and the pool commissioner (Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, PayPal, cash). FantasyDailies never holds, routes, or touches any money and takes no cut. We provide the tools and tracking only.
The four games
How FantasyDailies pools work
A commissioner creates a pool, picks the rules, and shares a link (or a QR code). Players join, make their picks, and the results grade themselves automatically from the real game outcomes — nobody can override a result, which is what keeps every pool honest. You can run a pool just for fun (bragging rights) or as a money pool, which is always P2P.
Does FantasyDailies hold my money?
No. Never. Every contest is P2P — the commissioner collects buy-ins and pays out winnings directly with the players (Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, PayPal, cash). We hold nothing and take no cut.
Is this gambling?
FantasyDailies is a tool for friendly and office pools, provided for entertainment. We don’t operate wagers, set odds, or handle money. You’re responsible for making sure your participation is legal where you live.
Can the commissioner cheat the results?
No. Results come from real, publicly reported game outcomes and grade automatically. No one — not even the commissioner — can change a result. Admins manage people and money only, and their actions are logged.
What if the site goes down?
The service is provided “as is” with no guarantee of uptime or data. We work to keep it up, but you and your commissioner should keep your own record of picks and money. See the
Terms.
Who handles taxes?
You do. FantasyDailies issues no tax forms. Any winnings are between you and the other players. See the tax section below.
Is it free?
Running a for-fun pool is free. Money pools are also P2P — we don’t take a cut of your pot.
Taxes & forms (P2P)
FantasyDailies holds no money and issues no tax forms. Any winnings, buy-ins, or commissioner rake are P2P and are your responsibility to report. Depending on your situation you may need an official IRS form — we link to the always-current versions on IRS.gov:
- Form W-9 — taxpayer ID (kept for records, not filed with the IRS)
- Form 1099-NEC — report $600+ paid to a non-employee
- Form 1099-K — payment-processor reporting (context)
