Best non mainstream DFS sites?

It seems like FanDuel and DraftKings have dominated market share in the DFS space, and then of course there are a few other big players such as Draft Day, etc.
I'm beginning to see parallels to the offshore industry in the early 2000s. Everyone knew of the biggest books (Greek, BM, etc) and grabbed their bonuses, but then other little known sites would appear -- offering bonuses and guarantees to new members. In many cases, these sites evolved into bigger, more established sites, and became a good option.
Anyway, two things:
1) Which of the obscure sites are offering good bonuses?
2 ) What obscure/new sites seem like they have the most potential (avoiding pros and feasting on fish).
FYI, I've already seen the books at Bigger Bonus. I'm looking for others.

To partly answer your questions - I don't think you're likely to find any new sites that the pros aren't already aware of, however, there probably isn't a huge number of pros populating the sites who only offer smaller buy-ins right now, with no huge GPPs. If interested in grinding out small stakes, probably a good way to go.
I was really impressed with Ballr when I went over their site and think they could turn into a much larger player in the game, but right now they only have small buy-ins and a limited # of contests. Once they get the right investor though I can see them exploding, so it's great to get used to them right now so you'll have an advantage. They already told me they will definitely offer NHL and NCAA sports this Fall, and working on adding PGA this Summer, and they already have one of the best deposit bonuses at 200% (up to $500) so that was a big plus to me.
Anyways, welcome to the forum Walt! Glad to have you here and hope to see you in more discussions. Cheers
