This is brilliant. May I ask you a question? I assume you are not using real team names or real players. If you are using real names, how do you handle the licenses? Sorry, not a baseball enthusiast hence could not figure if your team / player names are real.

Yeah, that's the reason I don't use real players :)
A lot of similar games simply ignore the law and pray they don't get sued (or that the publicity from a lawsuit would actually be good).
But I do have support for uploading custom leagues, and people have made them with various real leagues like the NBA https://github.com/alexnoob/BasketBall-GM-Rosters/releases/t... and the Philippine Basketball Association http://www.mediafire.com/file/1e8cq2l3rrndln5/PBA-GM-2016.tx...
This seems like a good idea. Surely you can't be sued for user generated content which uses licensed team/player names.
I had previously mulled over trying to make a fantasy sports site using bitcoin, but since I am based in the US, the gambling laws are too prohibitive, even just using bitcoin.

Probably not but I think they might be able to send a DMCA notice.
