The future of sports games has arrived on Philippine shores in the form of Daily Fantasy, the first-ever local fantasy sports game in the Philippines. This local version of the wildly popular NBA Fantasy is a PAGCOR-licensed online game where players can earn both in-game and IRL prizes, now available for Philippine NBA fans to play via website platforms on both desktop and mobile.

Daily Fantasy is the first to build a local fantasy sports community in the Philippines. Now that this wildly popular game has been localized and is maintained on Philippine servers, NBA enthusiasts and basketball fans can indulge in the dream of becoming an NBA coach.

While performing the role of an NBA coach, each player gets to select his dream lineup of avatars based on real-life NBA basketball players. He or she is then responsible for building the team’s strengths, training, and preparing the team to go up against other teams and coaches online throughout the online season.

After choosing their favorite players to be part of their team during the “Create Team” process, Filipino users can use the NBA players’ images and stats as the reference, making the game as realistic as possible. Players can also interact with each other and trade drafting strategies to form an ideal team.

This is an exciting and unique form of gameplay for Pinoy online gamers. Previously, there were no other forms of local fantasy sports that have been as immersive and that mirrored reality so closely. With Daily Fantasy, players are guaranteed to be drawn in by the thrill of trying to outwit, out-negotiate, and outplay other players to come out as the champion of the season.

One of the draws to this new mode of gaming is the chance of winning actual prizes. Unlike other online games, Daily Fantasy gives its players the chance to win real-life rewards. Players who win big during their NBA season can claim their prize in Coins, the in-game currency, and they can choose to withdraw the value of the Coins in Philippine Pesos.

Some gamers have already won big just by playing online, even before Daily Fantasy was fully launched. During the mid-August to mid-September 2024 season, all Daily Fantasy Game players collectively won over 30,000 Rubies, the in-game token for playing free. During this period, the highest ROI reported was 130% in a single match.

For the NBA Season 2024-25, Daily Fantasy launched exclusive prizes for NBA matches. Players who create their NBA fantasy team and join the matches get the chance to win a share of PHP 100,000 worth of prizes.

If you’re a true blue Pinoy gamer, naturally competitive, and passionate about basketball, you can’t pass up a chance to try this innovative game experience that has been tailored for the Filipino mindset. Play Daily Fantasy with your friends and start coaching your dream team today!
