4. Why should I use Apex Fantasy Football Money Leagues?
Apex Fantasy Football Money Leagues is dedicated to bringing you the most competitive, skill-based, and financially rewarding fantasy football experience available. Made by fantasy football fanatics for fantasy football fanatics (see our Survey Results), hundreds of hours of discussion, reasoning, and research went into every aspect of Apex. Not only do our settings intentionally reward the most consistent and skilled fantasy football players, but we have yet to discover another website with higher payout percentages than Apex. But don’t just take our word for it – check out what the experts say about us!

5. You have a higher “payout percentage” than other sites. What does that mean?
This means our website takes the smallest “cut” of the league entry fees. Check out our payouts page: some websites take as high as 60% of the league entry fees, leaving a much smaller percentage for the hard-working winners of their fantasy leagues. Here at Apex, we don’t believe that is acceptable, and we want to reward our winners with huge payouts!
Apex has some of the best payouts online, and when we add an enhancement to a league (extra money going to first place out of our pocket), our payouts become unbeatable! Check if we’re offering any enhanced leagues right now!
6. How do I play fantasy football for money with Apex?
Starting in 2017, Apex teamed up with DataForce Fantasy Football to comply with various state laws so people all around the country can continue enjoying our leagues!
Go to the Apex Lobby and click “Create Account” in the top-right corner (unless you’ve already created one). Verify your account, deposit funds, and then sign up for any league you’d like!
7. What do you mean by “two-game weeks” in each fantasy league?
At Apex, every team plays two games that count toward the league standings during each week of the regular season. One of the games is played against a random owner in the league (like a typical fantasy league). The second game is played against the average league score for that week. This is designed to eliminate the randomness of the head-to-head schedule.
How many times have you scored the second or third most points in a week, only to lose because you faced the highest-scoring team? With our system, you’d still earn a win by beating the league average, finishing 1-1 instead of being unfairly penalized. And what about those weeks when another team scores 30 points less than you but still wins by playing the lowest-scoring opponent? At Apex Fantasy Football Money Leagues, that team would be held accountable with a loss against the average, also finishing 1-1.
At Apex Fantasy Football Money Leagues, we aim to reduce the randomness often caused by traditional league schedules. Our format rewards consistently high-scoring teams while preserving the excitement of head-to-head matchups. For a more detailed explanation, visit our Skill-Based Format page.
8. It says I have to verify my account before I join your fantasy leagues. I don’t want to provide my ID online. Is this step required?
Every fantasy game operator is now legally required to obtain residence and birth date information, whether done by asking for it or by paying another site for a background check. We give you the option to choose to submit your identification or use third-party verification to let us know where you are signing up from.
If you choose to submit your ID, you are welcome to mask out all information except for your legal name, state of residence, and birth date. That is all we look at before immediately destroying any electronic copy. You will receive an email to notify you once your account is verified.
If you have any additional questions about this topic, please contact us at apexfantasyfootballleagues@gmail.com.
9. I’ve signed up and paid for an Apex fantasy league. Now what?
You will be receiving a MyFantasyLeague invitation shortly. If you do not already have one, create a MyFantasyLeague account. All Apex leagues are played on the customized MyFantasyLeague platform. The confirmation email you receive after signing up has all this information as well. The draft order for the league will be randomized as soon as the league is full.
10. Is there a “Commissioner” of each Apex Fantasy Football Money League?
Yes, every league is overseen by a professional, impartial commissioner to ensure fair play and smooth operation throughout the season.
Commissioners handle a variety of responsibilities, including (but not limited to): contacting absent parties before the draft, supervising the first two rounds of the draft, preventing collusion by initiating a review process for questionable trades, managing lineups for abandoned teams, and answering all questions and emails in a timely fashion.
Commissioners will update the message board, evaluate vetoed trades, and make sure every owner is actively participating and setting their lineup. If there are any problems in your league or any trades you disagree with, be sure to email us at apexfantasyfootballleagues@gmail.com.
11. Can trades be vetoed?
Yes, they can. If two or more owners contact the commissioner with concerns about a trade, a formal review will be initiated in accordance with our established procedures. In cases of clear collusion, such as multiple owners attempting to create a “superteam,” the trade will be vetoed, and those involved may face disciplinary action.
12. Where can I enter the Live Draft Room, and when will the draft order be randomized?
Once 12 owners have paid, the league is full. Once the league is full, the draft order is randomized. Once the draft order has been randomized, you can enter the live draft room. You can access the Live Draft Room by hovering over the “For Owners” tab at the very top of the league home page and clicking “Live Draft Room”.
13. What happens if the league doesn’t fill?
Thanks to our enhancements, it’s extremely rare for a league to go unfilled. However, if a league doesn’t fill, all owners will have the option to transfer to another draft at the same price or receive a full refund.
14. When is each fantasy league considered full: when 12 owners join, or when 12 owners actually pay?
The league is not considered full until 12 owners have paid for the league. Clicking “Join” does not reserve a spot for an owner; it simply notifies owners when the league is close to filling or if it is enhanced. Spots are only reserved once a player has paid.
15. What is a dynasty fantasy football league, and why do I need to pay a deposit?
Dynasty leagues are a chance for fantasy football owners to manage their franchises in a format where owners will retain most or all of their players from year to year. Dynasty leagues provide owners with the real experience of managing a team, rather than just for one short season. Just like the NFL, great selections can help owners build dominant juggernauts for years to come.
When you join an Apex Dynasty League, you’re committing to a year-to-year league with the same 11 owners each season. To maintain league continuity, we require a deposit. This deposit is held for each team and cannot be applied toward league entry fees in any season.
Please note: Apex never pockets dynasty league deposits—they are strictly used to support the long-term stability of the league.
Abandoned Dynasty teams are called orphan teams. Our orphan teams are available here!
16. Can I use the MyFantasyLeague software to do a mock draft, and how long will I have to pick my players?
Owners can practice using the MyFantasyLeague mock draft software. During Apex Live Drafts, owners have 75 seconds to make their selection.
17. Can I play in Canada?
Yes, except for Quebec and Ontario, residents of Canada can play in Apex leagues.
18. In which states can I play on Apex Fantasy Football Money Leagues?
Due to legal and licensing restrictions, persons located at the time of entry in Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Ontario, Quebec, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington are not permitted to participate in our contests.
If you have any additional questions about this topic, please contact us at apexfantasyfootballleagues@gmail.com.
19. Can I play in your fantasy leagues using an app?
Yes, MyFantasyLeague has a proficient third-party app called MFL Platinum. The app works very well, but all owners should double-check when setting lineups and entering blind bids.
20. What are the tax implications of winning cash prizes?
If your winnings exceed your entry fees by a total of more than $600, it must be reported as income. Your winnings will be reported with a 1099-MISC form, and your Social Security Number (SSN) will be required.
While U.S. residents will not have any money withheld from their winnings (assuming they supply their SSN), non-U.S. residents may be subject to a 30% withholding. Non-U.S. residents can file a U.S. tax return and recover some or all of the withholdings.
21. How do I collect my winnings?
Within a week of the championship, you will go to your Apex account. Find the “My Account” header, and click “Claim Prize Winnings”. There you can claim prizes. After that, you can use the money for future leagues or go to “Withdraw Funds From Account” and choose to withdraw your winnings by regular check or direct deposit!
22. Where can I go to make suggestions?
Apex Fantasy Football Money Leagues actively encourage feedback and suggestions from customers as to how we can make our website an even better fantasy football experience for you. Please contact us on Twitter or email us directly at apexfantasyfootballleagues@gmail.com.
