They took it down a while back. I feel like there was an explanation but a thorough forum search and a few google search attempts didn't yield anything. 

I feel like the reason was a mixture of not enough people were using it (and thus the same people were getting credits from it over and over again) and something to do with the whole issue of it simulating gambling and the Fox brand not wanting to be associated with that.

Fox is back in bed with gambling now. Ever heard of Fan Duel? ;)

Actually, based on the promo email I just received this morning, they've hopped in bed with Draft Kings rather than Fan Duel. Of course, same basic thing...
