5 Essential Things to Know Before Playing InGame’s New MLB DFS App

Throw out what you know about MLB DFS when playing InGame's new daily fantasy app So, we've had the opportunity to work with a lot of fantastic daily fantasy sports companies since we started this company, and while many have offered newer takes on the daily fantasy sports experience, I can safely say that none is quite as innovative as our new sponsor's new app, InGame. If you haven't heard of them yet, here's the basics on how InGame contests work. A quick note - if you sign up through our affiliate link InGame will give you $5 worth of contest entries for free - so sign up now! Users must validate their location and identity before participating in contests. Just like the DFS you know and love, you'll draft new players for your roster every single night. Unlike traditional DFS, you don't get a certain number of points based on how your players perform. Just like in real baseball, you don't get points if your guy draws a walk. You get points when your players score runs. InGame simulates this experience flawlessly, allowing you to look at a box score in the same way that you would if you had an ESPN box score on your phone while you watched another game on your TV. When you use InGame, you'll be fed a stream of players who were about to take their next plate appearance, and then you make the call: among all the players available, who will step up to the plate for your team? All of this happens in real time, so you'll have perfect information as to whether a guy is injured, what the weather is like in his game, and who exactly is on the mound. There are no salary caps, no cheesy extra points for arbitrary outcomes - just your skill in choosing the right player for the right moment, managing your fantasy team like a real life baseball manager. But I don't suggest just jumping into InGame blind. Unlike other versions of salary-cap daily fantasy sports games, InGame offers new strategic decisions that you probably haven't come across before. Here are 5 things you should prepare yourself for before diving into an InGame contest. 1) There are no salary caps Some of you will read the first point as "there is no skill," but I can assure you, that isn't the case. See, the skill that's most rewarded with InGame's app is patience. You have a whole day of baseball to get your at bats in. This means you don't have to play bad players in bad spots. If you're patient enough, you can put yourself into the position where you're picking...
