esports has gained a lot of popularity over the years and also started to be adopted by the sports betting industry. I love gaming and have always been a real gamer myself, but esports never really got me that interested as a viewer or a sports bettor. I once wanted to start following a solid esports tipster but the maximum limits were still very small back then which made it pretty much impossible. Some blockchain projects that have to do with esports and esports betting caught my eye. Here is a quick overview
Herocoin are holding their ICO next week. They are a decentralized betting token based on ethereum. They already have an existing platform with users at herosphere.gg.
Gimli is a decentralized, interactive platform for eSport streamers and viewers. Users can use digital tokens to bet on live games outcome, donate to streamers and respond to their polls and challenges.
Unikrn.com is an existing esports betting platform. They are launching unicoingold and already raised 10.000.000$ from Mark Cuban, Ashton Kutcher, Shari Redstone, Elisabeth Murdoch and others. Their lead investor was an early investor in Snapchat, Twitter, and Instagram. Less than two years ago, they created a token called “Unikoin”. With over a quarter of a billion Unikoins turned over they now see an opportunity to introduce a cryptocurrency: UnikoinGold.
