Built on NEO blockchain platform, RSC token will become a tool for sports betting.
The stage of private token sale is already complete, whereas the public sale is scheduled for August 16, 2018.
“I want to bring a smile … through this project. I would like as many people as possible to have a dream and hope and become happy, “ – Ronaldinho wrote in his token announcement.
The companies involved in the project plan to invest the funds raised through token sale rounds in the creation of a worldwide network of virtual stadiums. RSC team also envisages the establishment of a “Super League”, which will allow professional athletes, sports schools and teams to compete with each other for prizes, with fans making bets.
The examples of the world of sports merging with crypto are not too uncommon already. For instance, this January, Arsenal Footbal Club partnered with CashBet iGaming platform provider for promoting the firm’s ICO.
