Our Commitment to You

GoatDraft is dedicated to providing a safe, fair, and entertaining skill-based gaming environment.

We recognize that while the vast majority of our users enjoy GoatDraft as a form of entertainment, some individuals may develop problematic gaming behaviors. We take this responsibility seriously and have implemented comprehensive measures to promote responsible gaming.

GoatDraft is a skill-based fantasy sports platform, not a gambling service. However, we acknowledge that any competitive activity involving entry fees requires safeguards to protect vulnerable individuals.

Age Verification & Legal Compliance

Minimum Age Requirement

You must be 18 years of age or older to create an account and participate in contests on GoatDraft. We employ industry-leading age verification technology to ensure compliance with this requirement.

Geographic Restrictions

GoatDraft is currently available in 24 U.S. states where skill-based fantasy sports contests are legally permitted. We use geolocation technology to verify your location before allowing contest entry.

Identity Verification

To protect against fraud and ensure compliance, we require identity verification before processing withdrawals. This includes verifying your name, date of birth, address, and the last four digits of your Social Security number.

Skill-Based Gaming Classification

GoatDraft operates as a skill-based fantasy sports platform, not a gambling service. Success on our platform depends primarily on your sports knowledge, analytical ability, and strategic decision-making rather than chance.

Remember: It's Just a Game

GoatDraft is designed for entertainment. Never risk more than you can afford to lose, and seek help immediately if gaming becomes a problem. Your wellbeing is more important than any contest.
