What is DraftKings Reignmaker Football?

As mentioned, DraftKings is a sports product that melds the world of daily fantasy sports and sports trading cards, more specifically NFTs.

Like daily fantasy sports, you can use the cards that you accumulate to enter DraftKings Reignmakers NFL contests. However, unlike normal DFS, you will only be able to “draft” players that you have cards for and your cards can increase in value as well. This adds an interesting twist in not only playing contests but in collecting digital cards.

You can acquire DraftKings Reignmaker Football cards in a variety of ways including purchasing cards in the store, pack drops, bidding on cards in auctions and winning cards on Reignmaker contests.
