DraftKings pays is the share of the field that finished in the money. vs. random entry is our cash rate divided by that share.

Why 37% isn't low. DraftKings tournaments pay about the top 20–25% of the field. The smallest prize is usually 1.5–2x the entry fee. A random entry in our contests would cash about 24% of the time. Cashing is not the same as profit.

Cash rate by slate

Cash rate by slate Each dot is one slate, in date order, wins and losses. The height is that slate’s cash rate: entries DraftKings paid, divided by entries we played. Slates on the same day sit side by side. The line averages the last 5 slate cash rates, so a 50-entry slate counts the same as a 400-entry slate. The dashed line is every entry together, which is the headline cash rate. Green is NFL Showdown and gold is NFL Classic. An open dot has fewer than 30 entries. Golf cash rates are not in this published record. Rolling cash rate went from 26.7% on the first 5 slates to 37.2% on the last 5. Overall cash rate is 36.6%. n = 24 slates. 0%25%50%75%100%Sep 9, NE@SEA, Showdown: 24 of 63 cashed (38.1%)Sep 13, Classic main/afternoon, Classic: 0 of 5 cashed (0.0%).
