SuperSports Global Review: MLM + SuperDraft fantasy sports
SuperSports Global provides no information on their website about who owns or runs the company.
In fact as I write this, SuperSports Global’s website is nothing more than an affiliate login form.
SuperSports Global’s website domain (“supersportsvo.com”) was privately registered on March 30th, 2021.
Further research reveals Chris Frere (right) citing himself as co-founder of SuperSports Global on LinkedIn.
According to Frere’s LinkedIn profile, he’s based out of Washington in the US.
Why Frere and the other SuperSports Global co-founders are not disclosed on the company’s website is unclear.
As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.
SuperSports Global’s Products
SuperSports Global markets “player game packages”. These cost $25, $50 or $100.
Based on SuperSports Global’s marketing, game packages tie into a fantasy sports app provided by SuperDraft.
SuperSports Global’s Compensation Plan
SuperSports Global’s compensation plan revolves around the sale of player game packages, both to retail customers and recruited affiliates.
Referral Commissions
SuperSports Global affiliates earn a 10% referral commission on packages purchased by retail customers and recruited affiliates.
Residual Commissions
SuperSports Global pays residual commissions via a 3×10 matrix.
A 3×10 matrix places an affiliate at the top of a matrix, with three positions directly under them:
These three positions form the first level of the matrix. The second level of the matrix is generated by splitting these first three positions into another three positions each.
Levels three to ten of the matrix are generated in the same manner, with each new level housing three times as many positions are the previous level.
Residual commissions split player game package revenue generated across each qualified for matrix level.
The split is 2% paid out on each matrix level, which equates to
- 50c on a $25 player game package
- $1 on a $50 player game package
- $2 on a $100 player game package
Matrix level qualification is tied to SuperSports Global affiliate recruitment:
- recruit one affiliate to qualify for residual commissions across levels 1 and 2
- recruit two affiliates to qualify for residual commissions across levels 1 to 4
- recruit three affiliates to qualify for residual commissions across levels 1 to 6
- recruit four affiliates to qualify for residual commissions across levels 1 to 8
- recruit five affiliates to qualify for residual commissions across levels 1 to 9
- recruit six affiliates to qualify for residual commissions across levels 1 to 10
SuperSports Global affiliates also receive a new matrix position upon qualifying for the SuperStar Pool (see below).
Global Bonus Pools
SuperSports Global sets aside 20% of player game packages and uses them to fund five Global Bonus Pools.
Along with their qualification criteria, the five Global Bonus Pools are as follows:
- Jump Start Pool – within 30 days of signing up recruit 5 affiliates and have a total downline of 25 affiliates
- Rookie Pool – refer and maintain 2 personally enrolled customers, recruit 3 affiliates and have a total downline of 100 affiliates
- Captain’s Pool – refer and maintain 3 personally enrolled customers, recruit 5 affiliates and have a total downline of 500 affiliates
- MVP Pool – refer and maintain 4 personally enrolled customers, recruit 8 affiliates and have a total downline of 1000 affiliates
- SuperStar Pool – refer and maintain 5 personally enrolled customers, recruit 10 affiliates and have a total downline of 2500 affiliates
Note if recruited affiliates can count as customers is unclear.
The Jump Start Pool is paid out evenly to each qualifying affiliate. The other four pools are paid out pro-rata based on GV (total downline volume).
Awards
SuperSports Global’s compensation presentation details “awards”.
At the time of publication no specific information is provided.
Joining SuperSports Global
SuperSports Global do not disclose affiliate membership costs.
Conclusion
When I began researching SuperSports Global, I immediately had United Games Marketing flashbacks.
United Games Marketing was a fantasy sports app MLM launched in 2016. It went nowhere and was acquired by Investview in 2018.
Today United Games Marketing doesn’t exist.
At this stage I wasn’t aware of Chris Frere. Upon learning of him towards the end of putting this review together, I eventually landed on his Facebook page.
FireFan was United Games Marketing’s delayed fantasy sports app.
So in a nutshell, a former United Games Marketing affiliate is having a crack with his own fantasy sports app.
Well, not quite.
SuperSports Global’s marketing leans heavily on partnership with Caesars Entertainment and SuperDraft.
SuperDraft was acquired by Caesars Entertainment in January 2021.
Caesars Entertainment is a large company. Prior to acquisition, SuperDraft not so much.
To suss out the extent of a partnership between SuperSports Global and Caesars Entertainment, I hit up SuperDraft’s website.
There I found “work with us” details:
There’s also the opportunity for “strategic partnerships”, however specific details aren’t disclosed. Which is fair enough.
The take-away is that Chris Frere and whoever he’s working with appear to have signed up as SuperDraft affiliates.
Through SuperSports Global, they’re generating player leads for SuperDraft.
Again, except for the complete lack of disclosure on SuperSports Global’s website, nothing wrong with that either.
One would have to assume Caesars Entertainment don’t have a problem with MLM lead generation for SuperDraft. If so, on the surface this could be a promising opportunity.
Moving onto SuperSports Global’s compensation plan, compliance hinges on whether affiliates count as “players”.
There is a distinction between players and affiliates in SuperSports Global’s marketing material.
Absent however is clarification on whether recruited affiliates who purchase player game packages are counted as “players”.
If so, this would see retail sales completely ignored. SuperSports Global would then be operating as a pyramid scheme.
If SuperSports Global affiliates don’t count as players (this would include affiliates signing up with separate customer accounts pseudo-compliance), even then the bulk of the compensation plan can be tied to recruitment.
A SuperSports Global affiliate can earn referral and residual commissions without worrying about referring retail customers.
Again assuming affiliates don’t count as players, retail customers only come into play with the bonus pools.
In this sense retail feels secondary to affiliate recruitment. It’s worth remembering that this is was an issue with United Games Marketing.
Update 12th July 2021 – A SuperSports affiliate has clarified in the comments below that
Affiliates can be players… but do not count as a player in the comp plan.
Affiliates are Coaches. Players are Players.
This appears to confirm that retail will be a focus in SuperSports Global. /end update
Whether United Games Marketing failed due to having a crappy app or just that fantasy sports and MLM didn’t mix, I can’t say for sure.
FantasyDraft was another fantasy sports MLM, launched even earlier.
FantasyDraft’s website is still up but traffic is virtually non-existent. THe “Press Box” section of Fantasy Draft’s website hasn’t been updated since 2014.
A September 2020 Facebook post reveals FantasyDraft was sold off to Monkey Knife Fight.
Looking at the marketing, I think the MLM side of FantasyDraft was canned some time ago.
Perhaps Chris Frere can stop by and let us know what differentiates SuperSports Global from United Games Marketing and FantasyDraft.
Failing which as a prospective affiliate I’d want clarification on whether affiliates count as players.
SuperSports Global is planning to hold a launch event in Las Vegas this August. Approach with caution.
Update 1st September 2021 – SuperSports Global has been rebranded as SuperDraft Pro.
As someone who plays daily fantasy sports, I look forward to seeing how this even equates to DFS.
I had someone pitch this idea to me a couple of weeks ago. I think they are in pre-launch and plan to officially launch in Vegas at the end of August.
Affiliates can be players… but do not count as a player in the comp plan.
Affiliates are Coaches. Players are Players. You need x amount of coaches and an x amount of players for the comp plan.
Correct, Caesers would not risk their reputation on a Pyramid scheme. This is not Untied Games. (Ozedit: recruitment spam removed)
Thanks for that clarification Joel. Not so much thanks for the linkdrop.
I’ve added your clarification as an update to the conclusion of the review.
Scotty Mercker out of Louisville, KY is in on the venture business, Network Marketing.
My bad… I left a source for more info for those interested. Sorry.
Have a blessed day

I joined in Pre-Launch and to be honest there was little information about this opportunity and I was skeptical. But I have been playing fantasy sports online with fanduel and draftkings.
I thought it was worth a try. So they use SuperDraft which has a nice platform and good customer service (one thing the other ones they fall slightly behind.)
I joined as a coach ($40) and the Elite package ($100 a month) mostly to play the fantasy games.
Let me tell you I love it. There are very few playing maybe 150 people so the contest are easier to win. If you play fantasy sports I would give it a try. I will keep you updated.
If you just wanted to play games why sign up as an affiliate?
Disingenuous marketing is obvious.
It was the only way you could purchase the packages initially.
OK, So what’s your point?
So retail was an afterthought? Was this before or after June 13th?
I said what I said.
OZ – Why are you so down on this? Have you have any complaints.
I will win more money on the games than trying to sign people up.
Stop dodging the question:
And please, enough with the disingenuous I’m just in it for the app marketing. Your comment alias is literally a promotion.
If you don’t like what you hear just delete my comments.
I purchased my package on July 4th. I wasn’t one of the first ones in and don’t have any affiliates.
All I wanted to say is it’s fun on a fantasy sports aspect.
Best of luck slamming it.
Thanks. So if retail wasn’t an option on July 4th, and I wrote this review on June 13th, sounds like there wasn’t any players (retail) prior to just recently.
This is important to note because it means my suspicion that recruitment was a priority over retail was spot on.
It also means Joel (#3) above was being disingenuous. He failed to mention retail was only a recent addition.
Disingeniousness from SuperSports Global affiliates seems to be a running theme here.
Agreed, Oz. My bullshit meter buried its needle when I saw the old “feel, felt, found” script (above, #7).
In other words: “I know how you FEEL, I once FELT the same way…” Su-u-u-re you did, Bobby.
Or, “But when I joined, I FOUND it to be super great and honest and lucrative, and…”
Yeah, heard it all before. Nice try, though.
Disingenuous? You are talking to the wrong guy.
I was playing in April… won $120 in the free play. I am an affiliate but have players. The subscriptions were and are available for both affiliates and players. That began at the same time – the July 4th weekend.
Not sure why someone would say I’m Disingenuous? You clearly don’t know me or you’d realize how ridiculous that statement is.
Subscriptions started this month for both. Prior to that nothing but actual SuperDraft free roll games were being tried. Unless you like to gamble.
Prior to the subscriptions you were merely holding a position. You couldn’t actually pay for you affiliate spot or buy anything.
I hope that answere your question?
The subscriptions start at FREE for either party as well. I have numerous affiliate players and we are only 10 days in… so rest assured no pyramid issues.

I wrote this review on the 13th of June. At the time my suspicion was recruitment was a priority over retail.
If retail was only added on July 4th, then it’s disingenuous to come on here and pretend retail was a focus in mid June. By your own words SuperSports Global retail didn’t exist then.
People were able to sign up and login as SuperSports Global affiliates when I published this review.
I appreciate the honesty but there’s still a lot of backtracking going on.
That should read affiliates and players at the end. Just to clarify as simply making money off affiliates is a dead-end I’m mlm.
Have a fabulous weekend

The president of Supersports is Ron Williams from FGXpress and Uforia.
Was this a recent announcement? I ran a quick search and couldn’t find anything.
Also noted SuperSports Global, at least on their website, has been renamed to SuperDraft Pro.
Website is still just an affiliate signup form.
I got an email about a watch party on Sept 2nd.
You’re invited to our first PROmoters Watch Party, this Thursday, September 2nd. You’ll hear from our CEO Steve Wang, President of SuperDraft PRO Ron Williams, and Top Field PROmoters.
You’ll witness and hear many historic and exciting updates including:
Ah, fair enough.
Any chance of a screenshot? You can edit out any identifying info or I can do it.
The handwriting might be on the wall for SSG. Everyone wants to be in on the hot new deal but they ignore the fact that the majority of hot new deals collapse in 12-18 months.
