About Ship It Nation
Ship It Nation is a daily fantasy sports (DFS) platform that gives DraftKings and FanDuel players the tools, projections, content and community to build winning lineups. Members get near-real-time projections for NFL, college football, NBA, MLB, PGA, NHL, MMA and NASCAR, reports, education and live shows from proven DFS winners, and a Discord community where members and experts talk strategy every day. Optimizer plans also include the SaberSim lineup optimizer.
What Ship It Nation Does

Built by proven champions
Our content comes from active players with documented results, including multiple DraftKings Live Final finishes and a $1,000,000 Milly Maker win. Our experts often play the same slates they cover.
Live coverage every week
We go live 5–10 times a week, depending on the season, across NFL, NBA, MLB, PGA, MMA and more. Members get late-news reactions and lineup strategy right up to lock.
SaberSim included
All-Access + Optimizer and single-sport + Optimizer members get the SaberSim optimizer included, with plans that build from 100 up to 5,000 lineups. Our tutorials and Saber Series help members get the most out of it.
A community that's actually active
Our Discord is one of the most active communities in DFS, with dedicated channels for every sport. Our experts are in the chat during slates with late news and up-to-lock advice, while members share lineups, sweat contests and help each other improve. Newer players get answers fast, and experienced players get a sharp room to talk strategy.
Ship It Games
Members-only contests where you can put your process to the test against the Ship It Nation community. More than $100,000 in cash and prizes awarded so far. It's one more way your membership pays off.
Priced for everyday players
Single-sport plans start at $29 per month, and All-Access + Optimizer starts at $99 per month, with lower rates on annual plans. Annual Starter and Ultimate members also get DFS Mastermind free, a $497 value.
Who Uses Ship It Nation
Ship It Nation is built for DFS players at every level. Some members are learning the basics, and some are max-entering every night, but all of them want a sharper process and a community to sharpen it with. Our members include:
- New DFS players learning strategy, contest types and bankroll management
- Low- and mid-stakes tournament players looking for an edge in large-field GPPs
- Single-entry, 3-max and 20-max players who want sharp, focused builds
- High-volume multi-entry players building 20–150 lineups with the SaberSim optimizer
- Cash game players in 50/50s, double-ups and head-to-heads
- Niche-sport specialists in PGA, MMA, NASCAR and NHL
The Team Behind Ship It Nation
Ship It Nation was founded in 2023 by Tyler Tamboline (ToeTagginTambo) and Mike Petta (Hoop2410), two of the most accomplished players in daily fantasy sports. Tyler is a multi-time DraftKings Live Finalist who has been creating DFS content since 2018. Mike is a DraftKings Milly Maker champion with more than a decade of wins across six sports.
After years of winning and creating content across the industry, they set out to build the site they wished they'd had: one that teaches a repeatable process instead of just handing out picks, at a price everyday players can afford.
Today, Ship It Nation brings together projections, the SaberSim optimizer, live shows, education and an active Discord community. Tambo and Hoop lead a team of more than a dozen DFS experts across eight sports, backed by the data, product and operations staff who build our tools. In 2026, Ben Maggin joined as CEO, and DFS Mastermind joined the Ship It Nation family.
Our Mission
“Help every DFS player build a repeatable, winning process through expert content, proven tools and a community that wants to see you ship.”
Six values. One mindset. SHIP IT.
Success
Your wins are how we measure ours. Everything we build, from our tools and projections to our expert content and community, exists to help you make sharper decisions and win more often.
Hospitality
Beginner or high-stakes, you belong here. We go out of our way to help, with real people answering your questions in Discord and replies from our team within 24 hours.
Innovation
We build what players actually need. Member feedback and what wins on the slate shape every tool, format, and feature we ship.
Passion
We're players first. We love sports and DFS, and nothing beats watching our members take down a slate. That energy goes into every show, tool, and breakdown we put out.
Interaction
Our Discord never sleeps, and our live shows are built around your questions. Talk strategy with experts and fellow members in real time, any time of day.
Trust
Our reputation is everything, so we keep it honest. Member results live in the Winner's Circle, and we're open about how we work, what you get, and what it costs.
How Ship It Nation Works
Where to find us
Projections, reports, and tools live on shipitnation.com. We go live on YouTube 5–10 times a week depending on the season, the podcast is available on Spreaker and wherever you listen, and members talk strategy with our experts in Discord. Our daily Ship It email and The Nation News every Tuesday keep you current.
Getting started
After you sign up, you'll get a welcome email with everything you need to get going, including your Discord invite. Optimizer members can follow our SaberSim setup tutorial to build their first lineups, and newer players should start with the beginner lessons in Education.
Support
Email us at info@shipitnation.com and we'll respond within 24 hours. Members can also ask questions anytime in Discord, where our experts and community are active every day.
Billing
Choose a single-sport, single-sport + Optimizer, or All-Access + Optimizer plan, billed monthly or annually. Optimizer plans come in levels of 100, 500, or 5,000 lineup builds. You can cancel anytime, and cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing term. We don't offer refunds for the current term.
Our projections and tools
Our projections are built by our data team and updated in near-real time as news, lineups, and injury information come in. They power the SaberSim Optimizer and our tools, including The Stone and Slate Stations. Our experts then layer in ownership, leverage, and game theory.
Our experts play too
Our experts are active DFS players, and they often enter the same contests they break down. That means real money on the same decisions you're making, so they're as invested in getting it right as you are.
Our partnerships
Our Optimizer is powered by SaberSim, one of the most advanced simulation and optimization tools in DFS, and our SaberSim tutorials and Saber Series help members get the most out of it. We're always looking for the best new DFS tools and companies to bring to our members.
Don't Take Our Word for It
Our members post their wins every week, and so do we.
