How FanEx Fantasy Sports Betting Works?

In order to play on FanEx fantasy-like betting games and competitions, A player needs to have Athlete Tokens. Two token holders each select a token and agree on a statistic to determine the winner with the loser giving up their token.

For example, you could bet another fan a single token that Stephen Curry will score more points than LeBron James in an upcoming game — and if Curry does, you’ll receive both tokens.

You can get Athlete Tokens by purchasing Fanex Coins in the Fanex Private Sale, Pre-Sale, and Token Sale. Fanex Coins will be converted into Athlete Tokens at a rate of 1 to 1. Once a Fanex Coin is converted into an Athlete Token the Fanex Coin will be forever burned, resulting in a shrinking total supply.

In addition, If you want to use an alternative, you are free to go for HODL, trade, and exchange your Athlete Tokens. FanEx platform will also allow developers to build their own applications which incorporate Fanex tokens, creating more fun ways to use and win Athlete Tokens.

Is FanEx Legal?

Yes, it is legal due to the exception for Fantasy sports in the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act. This law is basically one of the lamest things the US government has devised to try to prevent people from gambling online. However, in this law, it designates fantasy sports as a game of skill rather than a game of chance. In virtually every state, fantasy sports is also considered a game of skill, but as always there are few states that have questionable laws and FanEx doesn't accept paid entry games from people in a number of states.
