Fantazzle was a fantasy sports website that allowed users to play daily, weekly, and seasonal fantasy sports games. Some of the games they offered were free, while others required a monetary deposit. Every game Fantazzle offered resulted in an immediate cash prize. The website has since been shut down.
Fantazzle launched in September 2008. They are members of the Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA). In January 2009, Fantazzle was recognized jointly by the FSTA and the Fantasy Football Librarian as the winner of the 2008 Fantasy Football Projection Accuracy Challenge in its first year.
In 2010, Fantazzle released a white paper on the impact of fantasy sports has on workplace productivity. With multiple sources and facts, Fantazzle stated that fantasy sports did not slow down workplace productivity. They proposed that many businesses are not negatively affected by employees engaging in the activity. The white papers went on to say that fantasy sports have proved to be a valuable team building exercise that leads to increased employee loyalty.
In 2010, Fantazzle picked up a sponsorship from current Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice. Ray Rice had this to say about Fantazzle: "Wanted you all to check out Fantazzle Fantasy Games. Fantazzle has cool fantasy games for baseball, racing, golf and, of course, football. In the upcoming months, we'll have a Ray Rice fantasy football game I'll be sponsoring with free autographed and cash prizes.” Later in 2010, Fantazzle worked with the then-New York Giants receiver and current St. Louis Ram Steve Smith in a push to have him voted into the Pro Bowl. Fantazzle offered merchandise autographed by Steve Smith to those that won select fantasy games.
