Is Snapdraft Shutting Down?

At this point, nobody really knows. Fanball (the operator of Snapdraft) has announced that it is shutting down as of June 30th, and has announced the end of many of its games. However, Snapdraft was among the games that was not specifically mentioned in the original announcement. Another of the games not mentioned was the NFBC high stakes contests, and news has now leaked out that those will run in 2011 and beyond. It hasn't yet been announced who will be taking them over, but it seems very unlikely that Snapdraft will be going along with them. With Snapdraft also partially owned by NBC Sports, one thing that seems unlikely is that money in Snapdraft accounts would be at risk...although with the site apparently running more or less on autopilot their already slow withdrawal process is likely to become even worse.

If you don't want to deal with the uncertainty, now is a great time to try one of the competing sites...many of which provide a superior overall experience to Snapdraft. The current market leader in terms of overall traffic and tournaments with large prize pools is Fanduel.
