A Reignmakers Alternative, Without the Money

DraftKings shut down Reignmakers in July 2024. If you played it, you probably miss the same things we did: owning players instead of drafting them, building a fresh lineup from your own collection every week, and chasing rarer cards to reach bigger contests. ThrownZone is built around that same loop, with one big difference: there is no money in it at all.

What happened to Reignmakers

Reignmakers sold NFL player cards as digital collectibles for real money, and ran a real-money marketplace for trading them. It closed on July 30, 2024, days after a federal court allowed a class-action lawsuit to proceed that alleged the cards were unregistered securities. Players lost the game, and the marketplace closed with it.

What ThrownZone keeps

What ThrownZone changes

• No money, ever. Credits can't be bought and can't be cashed out. No deposits, no withdrawals.
• Free to start. Every new account gets 25 cards and 5,000 credits: a playable Starter lineup and four Kickoff Packs, each with a Rare-or-better card.
• Rarity never adds points. A Core and a Hall of Fame card of the same player score exactly the same. Rarity decides which room you play in, not who wins it.
• Ties go to the lowest serial number, so a low number is worth something on Sunday as well as to collectors.
• Every result is auditable. Pack rolls, scoring and settlement happen on the server, and every card and credit movement is on an append-only ledger.

Will it feel familiar?

If you know Reignmakers, yes: collect, set a lineup, climb the tiers. The difference is that a new player and a long-time collector are separated by how well they play, not by how much they spent.
