The AthX Difference

Unlike traditional daily fantasy sports (DFS) or sports betting, AthX is designed as a long-term wealth-building strategy. Here's what makes us different:

Traditional DFS vs. AthX

Daily Fantasy Sports:

  • Win or lose each day/week
  • All-or-nothing outcomes
  • No long-term portfolio building
  • Limited to specific contests

    • AthX:

  • Build a portfolio over the entire season
  • Hold shares for dividends and bonuses
  • Make smart trades to build wealth over time
  • Trade anytime, not just on game days

    • How AthX Works

    1. Sign Up and Get Started

    Create your AthX account for free and explore the marketplace. When you make your first deposit of $50+, you'll receive a free stock of a random player as a welcome bonus! Sign up today to get started.

    2. Deposit and Trade

    Deposit funds to get 20x AthX$ trading power. For example, deposit $10 and receive $200 in AthX$ to trade with. Browse our marketplace of 900+ MLB players and teams.

    3. Build Your Portfolio

    Buy shares in players you believe will perform well. Prices change based on:

  • Performance: Players performing above projection see price increases
  • Market Activity: Supply and demand from other traders
  • Pace-Based Movement: Prices gradually move toward performance-based "pace price"

    • 4. Earn Dividends and Bonuses

    Hold shares for 30+ days and eligible holdings can earn:

  • Monthly Dividends: 1% of holding value monthly (if player is "on pace")
  • Diverse Holdings Bonus: 0.25% (regular) or 0.50% (Pro) monthly for holding 10+ full stocks
  • Team Bonuses: Special bonuses for team achievements

    • 5. Refer Friends

    Why AthX is a Long-Term Strategy

  • Compound returns: Dividends and bonuses add up over the season
