ESPN Fantasy Sports & More
What it is
ESPN's app for running fantasy football, basketball, baseball and hockey teams, plus bracket and prediction contests. It is the biggest fantasy sports platform in the US and is owned by Disney.
What they actually see
Kids draft real athletes, set weekly lineups, watch points tick up live as games play out, and trade or drop players against rivals in their league. There are league message boards, standings, ESPN news and video, and betting odds and sportsbook promotions appear alongside the sports coverage.

- Chat with strangers
- Gambling-like mechanics

Why kids love it
Managing a team gives every real game a personal stake, and league chat with family or friends turns a whole season into an ongoing group joke.
Worth knowing
Apple rates it 12+, the games themselves are free, and the app carries real sports betting content and odds even though you cannot wager inside the fantasy leagues.
