What makes this contest different from the others out there?

The most common thing we hear from our members is the personal attention they receive once they became a Jungle member is beyond anything they have experienced in the industry of fantasy sports contests. Quite frankly, there is no other contest as committed to customer service as The Fantasy Jungle.

Your entry fee is more than I normally spend. Is it worth it?

First of all, don’t be fooled by contests that have low entry fees but charge for transactions such as trades or purchases. In order to be competitive you will need to make weekly transactions and you will quickly spend well over the cost of your entry fee. When you join the Fantasy Jungle you know exactly what you are paying. A ONE TIME flat fee is all you will ever pay for a Fantasy Jungle contest.

We are not here to fool you with transaction fees, event's fees, or other hidden fees. or additional features you need to “purchase” in order to be competitive with your league mates or enjoy your experience. The prize structure of the Fantasy Jungle is second to none.

I enjoy playing in some of the contests where I can choose my players weekly, so should I switch to a draft style league, where I am restricted with one team?

If you consider yourself an avid fantasy player, you realize that a draft style contest gives you the best opportunity to showcase your skills and take down the big prize. It is the same reason that in the big event of The World Series of Poker they play Texas Hold’em and not Old Maid or Crazy 8’s. You want skill to be more than luck. In order to be competitive in a draft style contest, you will need to come prepared and know your sport. If you have played in a draft style local league you realize the importance of preparation before draft day and the draft itself.

I have played in some larger contests and won, but it took between one and four months for me to get my prize check. How quick will I get a check if I win in The Fantasy Jungle?

The Fantasy Jungle was founded by two avid national fantasy players, both of whom have waited weeks….even months for prize checks from various companies. The Fantasy Jungle was founded with the vision of being the BEST in the industry at all levels, and this includes the fastest pay outs. If you don’t believe us, just look at some of the testimonials from our players! We are not looking to make interest on your prize money. The league checks will be mailed out the week after the conclusion of the playoff game, and the national prizes will be mailed out the week after the conclusion of the national championship week. There is no excuse for a delay in the prize pool pay outs and you shouldn't settle for anything less. We have created a new standard that the industry will be forced to rise to.

I am having a hard time narrowing down contests to play in this season. Why should I play in yours?

Let's face it. The hard core fantasy player will play in several contests. They feel they should at least win their league, as a result of confidence in their skills, and that in itself, gives them a nice overlay for the contest. We will not discourage you from playing in any other contest. We can only encourage you to play in the BEST contest as well…The Fantasy Jungle. We suggest that you weigh your options and stay within your budget. If you like the concept of the draft style contest and want the convenience of being able to draft online while STILL having a shot at a huge prize pool…The Fantasy Jungle is for you.

I would like to play, however I would like to have a friend draft with me. Is this allowed?

Certainly and very common. Some fantasy players argue that “two heads are better than one” and team up with one or more players, while others prefer to be the sole decision maker. That choice is entirely up to you. If your team has more than one owner, you may all logon to the draft room and participate.

Can I register more than one team?

Yes, you may own multiple teams, and under some instances even receive a discount! We have multiple draft dates to choose from and you are allowed to manage 1 team per draft date. Your teams will obviously be in separate leagues, so you will have the opportunity to win multiple League Championships.

What do I do if I am drafting and I lose connection?

We have an emergency 800 number for you to call where you can speak to your league moderator who will keep you up to speed with the draft until you can regain your connection.

What about your salary cap style contest?

The Fantasy Jungle offers salary cap contests for several sports in order to provide you the best of both worlds. Our salary cap contests allow you to select a new team each week, but you will never pay a transaction fee.

What is POWER SCHEDULING and why have you implemented it in your head to head portion of your contest?

The most common problem in head to head leagues is that players who are doing poorly sometimes tend to give up and stop managing their team. This leads to bye week players being started and eventually… mismatches. When you are sitting in third place and need that first place team to lose, it can be frustrating to watch them play the last place team who has 3 players on injured reserve. Power Scheduling eliminates these mismatches by having each team compete against every team in their league every single week. So there is no unfair scheduling advantages or “luck of the draw” wins or losses. If you have the high score in your league for the week you will be undefeated for THAT particular week. In short, it lessens the luck factor of the head to head portion of the contest.

I have a question that isn’t answered on here. Can I contact you guys?

Most definitely. There are going to be things that come up from time to time, that need clarification. We pride ourselves on getting you a response quickly. You can email the link on our homepage or you can call us at (734) 946-0287. We take calls daily from our members on everything from questions on a scoring clarification to discussing football or baseball in general. We enjoy talking to our members, and we feel that getting your feedback is important to the success of this company. We will never grow to a level where we lose touch of WHO our members are. As corny as that may sound, it is the thing that separates us from them.

What is this stuff I hear about payout percentage. What is the correct number?

This varies amongst different companies and contests. We try to payback as much as we can to the prize pool. There is no set number, and some of our contests vary, but we always try and pay in the 70-80% range. Understand that it is a business, and there are several expenses that we won’t bore you with, and that dictate what we can pay out and still run a successful business. Our goal is to provide solid prize pools with a solid experience. We want you to have fun, so we try and make our stats pages and draft rooms as easy and user friendly as possible.

I want to make a suggestion, will you listen?

Absolutely. We can’t promise that we can always implement your feedback, but we do promise to always read and discuss your comments and thoughts. We have made several key changes to our contests over the years based on player feedback, and they have improved our game greatly. We aren’t too proud to use something and we welcome your feedback.

I would like to pay via another format then a credit card. Is this possible?

Yes it is. If you would like to pay for your teams using check, money order, or various other methods, please contact us at customer service so we can set that up for you.

May I print the stats off in the Nerve Center?

Yes you can. Feel free to print all of the info that we have listed in the Nerve Center. We have taken the time to add the players statistics and calculated their total points. You may search by every category or by name at each position.

My password is not working on the message board. How does this work?

Message board registration is different then your Jungle ID and password. You need to register separately for that, and you will be ready to post. Just register right on the message board.

I signed up for a draft date and need to change it, is that possible?

It is for our main contests and High Roller Leagues. Things happen and you may need to switch your draft dates. Please contact us as early as possible up until 2 weeks from your draft date, so we have time to balance the leagues and we will do our best to accommodate you.

For satellite leagues, league positions are assigned randomly as you sign up, so you will not be allowed to switch your draft dates once you have signed up for these.

I forgot my password and login ID. How do I retrieve it?
