Pay public leagues are similar to free public leagues, with the exception that you have to pay money to play. (No surprises there, right?) The amount you pay depends on the league. Often, when fantasy coaches grow tired of dominating their free public league, they seek out a public pay league to feed the need for competition.

When you pay to play, you’re in essence paying for access to different features including expert advice, real-time scoring during games, a draft kit with team previews and player rankings, depending on the site. (Make sure you read the league default settings and the site’s rules before you make your payment to know what you’re getting for your money.) By committing your hard-earned dollars to fantasy football, you give yourself the incentive to prepare for the draft and play out the season, no matter what happens. The other coaches will feel the same way, and the competition will be better because of it.

So how do you sign up for a pay public league, and how much money will you spend? After reviewing your options, just follow the provider’s links to their payment options from their fantasy football main page. Your monetary commitment depends on your personal budget and what you’re willing to spend. There are contests in various formats for just about any budget range, the draw being higher payouts proportional to your entry fees. DFS leagues are primarily pay public leagues but can also be customized with private league settings.

Despite all the benefits of playing in a public pay league, it does have some of the same drawbacks as a free public league. (Check out the previous section.)
