Unikrn, UnikoinGold and E-Sports!

_**DISCLAIMER:** I do not by any means advocate gambling or betting of any kind, online or otherwise. I merely think this is a good project, with a good team, and is definitely worth following._ Hey guys, as some of you who are following me already know, I am only 19 years old! _This can only mean one thing and one thing only:_ I am **VERY** much into gaming, and more so **e-sports**. Back in 2016 I went to the EU LCS Summer Split Finals, as one of my friends was a referee there. It was through her that I got to meet all the EU LCS Pro-Players at the time, and it was a very exciting time of my life. It might sound quite nerdy, but most of these players seemed unreachable from behind my computer screen as I was watching the teams battle. Suddenly I was in a bar sharing beers and discussing with Rekkless and Sjokz! ![Screen Shot 2017-07-21 at 19.01.27.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQXb91NX1kPTPE1ENBnC7ipAfaxH5EZJ9AhhPBT5wS8Hj/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-21%20at%2019.01.27.png)

What is Unikrn?

![unikrn-banner.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbEhTnai9PiY4Eo2eq3jTWhqcd9vNoA3NzdQYMb3EWgVk/unikrn-banner.png) Unikrn is an e-sports betting/gambling website where one can use FIAT (or regular money) to bet on e-sports matches. The Unikrn platform also has an in-built stream, where one can watch their favorite teams compete! The platform allows betting on all "mainstream" e-sports such as CS:GO, Overwatch and League of Legends, but also other, less mainstream e-sports such as Rocket League and World of Tanks. Unikrn is truly a diversified platform where it allows multiple communities to come together and do what they do best, watch and bet on e-sports.

UnikoinGold?

Their whitepaper can be read here: https://unikoingold.com/whitepaper The main point of Unikoin is to be used on the Unikrn platform as a currency/token in order to bet on e-sports.

Why UnikoinGold?

Unikoin has actually been around since 2015 in order to be used as a betting token in marketplaces (countries) where real money e-sports betting was not allowed. It gave users another way to bet on Unikrn, when laws and regulations restricted them! Now what UnikoinGold is trying to achieve is to create a coin which: >will serve as a decentralized proxy of value creating a decentralized, community-driven virtual economy. That economy will increase in turnover based on our new skill platform, live betting experience and global expansion of an exclusive token betting esports platform. Trades will be executed by a system of Ethereum smart contracts that are publicly accessible and that will be open and transparent to the network.

Backers

Unikoin is backed by the likes of businessman, investor and owner of NBA's Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban, and TV-Star Ashton Kutcher. The team behind Unikoin is also no small feat, the CEO, Rahul Sood is the man behind Microsoft Ventures. You can check out the rest of the team here: https://unikoingold.com/team

UnikoinGold Token Presale

Unikrn is now doing their first ever token presale, which you can sign up for here: https://unikoingold.com/ This is still quite a small ICO, which is relatively unknown, however I strongly believe with the team behind Unikoin and their backers, that this ICO is the one to pay attention to, and maybe even invest into! If you made it to the bottom of this article, then it means that your interest has been peaked, as it should've.
