FanDuel launches Mixup, a more fun version of daily fantasy sports for casual fans

If you’re new to daily fantasy sports playing (and winning) can be daunting – especially when you’re playing stat-heavy sports like baseball.

To try to fix this FanDuel is launching a new product called FanDuel Mixup, which aims to make daily fantasy sports more appealing to casual users. First announced in March, Mixup is now available for players starting today.

The new game style is like a “lite” version of daily fantasy sports, and has two main differences designed to make it easier for beginners and casual players.

First, each week there will be a weekly theme for all Mixup contests that limit the types of players you can draft for your team.
