What else your supplier should provide you with?

Not only mobile app but also website
Having a web and mobile platform presence is the finest strategy followed by every successful fantasy sports app. The website will handle the informatory part where users can get full information about the app, and for gameplay, they have to install the app on their mobile. Having a website will also generate trust among users.

Design that users love
When you create fantasy app, keep in mind that data is imperative. It’s not like a video game where the user presses the key faster to win. Users playing fantasy sports are more calculative and demand data such as performance score, player data, etc. Therefore, your focus should be on designing an app that makes this analysis of data easier. From user profile to scoreboard, make sure the information is easy to access and there is less clutter. This brings us to having a minimal UI to have a maximum impact.

Monetization strategies
Are you searching for how to earn money from a fantasy sports app or how to make money from a fantasy sports business with the help of mobile app? Then you need to decide about the monetization model.

The monetization can be done in the following ways:

• In-App Advertising
Here, you can allow third parties to display their ads in the form of infographics, animations, or video forms by charging them an advertising fee.
• Pay Per Game
Here, users have to pay only for that game they are interested in. Another version can be that users can also pay per league to enjoy the game.
• Subscription Based
For a particular time duration, users have to purchase a subscription plan. You can divide it into quarterly, half-yearly, and yearly subscription plans. So, the users can choose accordingly.
