When you sign up for a free Yahoo account you will also have the option of playing games found on Yahoo Games as well as taking part in fantasy sports run by Yahoo. Creating a free Yahoo email account consists of filling out a one-page registration form and shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes to finish.
