For New Mexico players, Underdog is one of the more accessible fantasy options. Eligibility, minimum age, and which contests are offered depend on your state, so the details below are a starting point, not a substitute for what the app shows you at sign-up.

How DFS Works
Daily fantasy rewards research and roster construction over a short window, often a single slate of games. The core idea is simple:
- Build entries around players: You assemble a lineup or a set of picks based on how you expect individual players to perform.
- Compete for prizes: Your entries are scored against other participants or against a projection, and prizes are paid out based on the results.
- Skill over a short window: Because you are projecting player output, research, matchups, and lineup decisions drive your results.
- Not a sportsbook: You are entering fantasy contests, not taking a line from a house.
Underdog's Contests
Underdog is best known for two formats:
- Pick'em: You choose whether a player will finish higher or lower than a posted projection across one or more stat lines, then combine those picks into a single entry.
- Best Ball: You draft a roster of players, and your best scorers count automatically each week. There is no in-season lineup management, trading, or waivers to keep up with.
Available contests and entry sizes change over time and by state. Confirm what is live for New Mexico inside the app before you enter.
