How to Convert Your Fantasy League Into a Private Sports Contest Club

TL;DR

Your fantasy league already has an engaged group. Create a ValueBet club, share the invite code in your league chat, and launch Pick'em, Survivor, or Bankroll contests. Members join in minutes and get additional competitions without leaving their fantasy platform.

You already have the hardest thing to build in sports gaming: an engaged group of competitors. Converting your fantasy league into a multi-format contest club takes 5 minutes and gives everyone more ways to compete.

Step 1: Create Your Club

Sign up on ValueBet, create a private club, and generate your unique invite code. Name the club something your fantasy league recognizes — it keeps the identity consistent and makes adoption easier.

Step 2: Share the Code

Drop the invite code in your fantasy league group chat with a simple pitch: 'Side contests for the season — Pick'em and Survivor running alongside fantasy. Free to join, auto-graded, takes 5 minutes per week.' That's it.

Step 3: Launch Your First Contest

Start with Pick'em — it has the lowest barrier to entry and broadest appeal. Once members are comfortable, add Survivor for elimination drama and Bankroll for the group's betting enthusiasts. Layer formats as engagement grows.

Step 4: Keep Both Running

Don't replace your fantasy league — augment it. Members manage their fantasy rosters on the existing platform and make their Pick'em/Survivor picks on ValueBet. Two competitions, two leaderboards, one group of friends.

FAQ

Will this confuse my league members?

No — ValueBet is a separate platform for side contests. Members keep their fantasy league where it is and add contests on top.

How long does setup take?

Under 5 minutes to create a club and launch your first contest.

What if only some members join?
