Rosters is a new daily fantasy site with poker professional Phil Ivey as the official spokesperson.   When I discover a new site, I look to see what makes it unique.  If you are like myself, then you already are playing on multiple sites, and need a reason for adding to, or switching up, your DFS routine.  Starting this Friday, and throughout the MLB season, Rosters has that uniqueness factor I look for.  Below are a few of the reasons why I suggest you sign up and try https://rosters.com.

$1,000 FANTASY ALARM FREEROLL – This Friday Night 5/20/16

The best way to try a new site out is when it is giving away FREE money.  Jeff, Ted, and the MLB team at Fantasy Alarm has been on fire with their MLB advice, so why not continue to take their advice, and earn a bankroll with the Fantasy Alarm freeroll this Friday?  The FREE contest has a prize pool of $1,000, with first place taking home $200!  Currently, there are only 16 players registered, and you have nothing to lose.

$100 INSTANT DEPOSIT BONUS

Deposit $100  Receive a free $100 instant match for $200 total in your account

Most sites that provide a 100 percent deposit bonus are delivered at a 4 or 8 percent drip rate, meaning that you earn the bonus back over time. If you do the math, that means you would have to play $1,250 or $2,500 worth of entry fees to receive your full bonus back.  Rosters has destroyed other sites' deposit bonuses. No slow drip system or loyalty program that you have to wait forever to claim your bonus. On Rosters, you deposit $100 and receive $100 free instantly. Your $100 deposit turns into $200 when it hits your account. 

Play against Phil Ivey weekly and win a VEGAS DREAM  

Rosters is giving away a WSOP Main Event Seat, a Vegas Trip, and you get to meet Phil Ivey when you register for the Main Event.  Starting this Friday, you can enter multiple weekly free tournaments where by beating Phil, you can win seats into their main event finals.  The winner of that wins a Vegas trip, WSOP seat, and the opportunity to meet with Phil.

Gameplay

The roster structure of 9 players: P, C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF

The scoring breakdown doesn’t weigh heavily in one area, but picking the right pitcher looks to be key. There is also no late swap option.

HITTING:  1B: 1  2B: 2  3B: 3  HR: 4  RBI: 1  Run: 1  BB/HBP:1  SB: 2

PITCHING:  Win: 3  IP: 1  SO: 1 ER:-0.5 Hits Against: -0.25

The live scoring system will provide you with both a projected points, and projected winnings total.  These are features which I only feel enhance the experience if you are like me, and enjoy sweating games out. Speaking of sweating, my favorite, and most unique as well as needed in my opinion, is Rosters' Sweat List.  The Sweat List is a tool to help you know which players you’re rooting for, and which players you’re rooting against in a specific contest. It is an entertainment tool based on the players most drafted by you and by your opponents in that contest.  Basically, instead of having to click through team by team to see what can help or hurt your team most, the sweat list breaks it down for you.  This tool alone is a reason to play on Rosters, and can’t wait to see how it will be used for NFL.  

Trust Factor

When registering for, or depositing money to anything, you should always try to take at least a few minutes to review what you can.  In regards to DFS, I want to make sure of at least two things.  The first thing I want to know is how is their customer service?  If I have an issue, I want to be able to contact someone through old school ways.  Rosters has a toll free Phone Number, as well as an e-mail for support.  Their website states a return response within 24 hours, and when I called their number, a representative answered the call before the second ring.

The second area I question is how safe are my funds?  The following excerpt is taken directly from their site:  “Customer Account Balances are always safe and immediately accessible. All Customer Account Balances are held in bank accounts segregated from the company’s operational funds. Each month, an independent Audit and Accounting Firm reviews the funds in the segregated bank accounts to ensure that they match the Customer Account Balances. The results of these reviews are available on request by contacting customer service. This practice has been in place since day one.”  I will be e-mailing them to ask for this report, but the above statement from Rosters shows that they are committed to keeping your money safe, and free to withdraw when you want.

Final Thoughts

Rosters has entered the DFS scene, and I believe they are here to stay.   The best time to participate in a new site is when the opportunity for free money is available.  That time is now.  Register today, receive your free instant $100, and be ready to take home your share of $1,000 in the Fantasy Alarm Freeroll this Friday at https://rosters.com
