Bitcoin Forum

Surprised to see that there was no thread about this bookmaker yet. They have e-sports, sportsbetting and casino and Mark Cuban and Ashton Kutcher are part-owners of this bookie. Looks very trustable, but any experiences?

Never heard of this one before. The name itself is weird. Did some research and observed that it is a legitimate casino which runs on an interesting concept where bettors can also be players.

It seems like they provide both FIAT and crypto payment methods. Seems trustable in my opinion.

There actually was some talk about the native token of the platform back in 2017. Unikoin Gold is a betting token that was supposed to be used by the platform. They had an ICO in 2017 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2206150.0). Unfortunately, there were issues with SEC regulations and the coin was discontinued. They talk about that on the official site of the coin. > https://unikoingold.com/

Seems that Mark Cuban and Ashton Kutcher were connected to the brand even in those days. After Unikoin Gold was abandoned, the team continued developing their betting platform with established cryptocurrencies. 
     

Never heard of this but there really are many casinos that are supporting cryptocurrencies yet, they are not in the forum nor created their announcement thread.

Never hear about that casino, but fast check just enlighten me about many unpaid payment reports.
Better to stay away from them...

I've seen someone talking about the Unikrn.com site in this forum, but about the fundraising ICO.

If not mistaken this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2115653.0, he also talks about the company whose owner is @Mark Cuban's, however, it is not very clear and so far no comments have been updated about the above topic.

So, i also took a look at their casino site: https://unikrn.com/play/casino, the game inside is exactly the same as the Roobet and Rollbit sites.

However, Roobet and Rollbit have Campaigns on this forum for now quite fair and trustworthy.

It's a little different from the Unikrn.com site, it doesn't look good on this forum, either the owner doesn't want to advertise here or there are other factors, obviously if something happens you can't do much about the Unikrn.com site, Come to think of it, even though certain gambling sites are quite interesting, but the name is gambling, surely you know.

For me if gambling is better to use a fair and official site in this forum, the level of security is better than outside sites that we are not familiar with.
although: the way and the game is the same as the gambling site on this forum.

Actually unikrn casino is operating for more than 6 years are but they have not much involved in promotion schemes like they don't have any signature campaign on this forum unlike Roobet,Duelbits.They offer most advance eSports betting experience and include games of various types like Call of Duty,PUBG,Apex legends and many more of your wish.The welcome bonus is $300 for new customers which is preety decent compared to other casinos.They have their own coin Unigold as said my other members for their betting system but there were restrictions from SEC in 2017 due to which ICO was not completed.The casino service is restricted on many countries like Afghanistan,Congo,Iran and others due to governments intervention.Rest check first yourself and then try to bet it on because what seems good might not be in reality.

You can read the detailed Review of Unikrn here: http://sportstatist.com/unikrn-review/

There website is pretty messy and there's a lot of country restricted on accessing there casino base on there ToS. I have an account there and they seems not accepting cryptocurrency that's why they don't promote here. There's a lot of available sportsbook here with user friendly website and ToS. Don't waste time there.  ;)

they're one of the top bookies in the eSports betting scene. They accept a bunch of cryptos like monero, btc, eth, tron and more via bitpay...thing is that last time i checked you had to KYC for withdrawals which kinda defeats the purpose of using cryptos (maybe the changed this policy? idk)

there is no official thread about them here 'cause they don't need one, few years ago they used to sponsor esports teams which gave them a big boost in popularity, nowadays, they are as popular as many sportsbooks in this forum combined, so

all in all, markets offering is decent, they have tons of different game aside from the popular ones and their odds are competitive but far from the best in the industry. If you're not from a restricted country and don't mind kyc, it might be a good option to keep on the side in case you ever get limited in another book or are looking for an specific game like quake or mortal kombat

I entered the site and see what appears to me:

https://i.imgur.com/ZqeawhB.png

people from my country cannot use this site, I believe that it is not just my country, so be careful and try to enter the site using your real IP to see if your country is not prohibited from using the site, I also do not recommend the people to use methods to circumvent this prohibition.

about whether or not it is trustworthy, this is the other very controversial topic because as the user @barbaron said, in the trustpilot.com they do not have a good reputation, on the contrary they have many complaints. I think it would be better to look for reputable sites from the forum

Make no mistake, Unikrn is a reputable esportsbook with notable investors.

While Unikrn does accept numerous cryptocurrencies, they also require KYC information prior to withdrawing. I'm not surprised that there isn't a thread dedicated to Unikrn on BitcoinTalk because the site clearly favorites the fiat market, not cryptocurrencies.

Regarding their TrustPilot reviews, Unikrn's "3.1 out of 5.0" rating is not really indicative of how trustworthy the site really is. It appears there may be some sort of negative attack on Unikrn at the moment (perhaps a competitor?).

That's right, Trustpilot doesn't give a sh*t to trustworthiness of what their website indicate for the last few years now. You can buy tens of negative reviews for few bucks. But a company can respond to each of these reviews and negotiate. If account that left a negative review won't reply, the company can ask Trustpilot to remove it. So, quite confusing to judge based on trustpilot.

But regarding their investors, looks like they really have some cool people. Ashton Kutcher (https://venturebeat.com/2015/09/01/ashton-kutcher-invests-in-esports-startup-unikrn-as-it-launches-global-platform/), Mark Cuban  (https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/25/ethereum-co-founder-and-mark-cuban-put-25m-toward-unikrn-esports-betting-platforms-digital-token-sale.html) and other big players. I would definitely give a try if I was choosing one.

When it comes to trustpilot reference then i dont really make this as a valid one and same as you said about competitor negative attack is always a probability.
Havent seen any valid negative feedbacks or complaints about this bookie and it is indeed heavily focused on Esports with fiat common payment options.
Its just understandable on why they havent been heard on into this market just like on Loot.bet where they had just recently accepted crypto.
Most people said they havent heard about the site but it is actually existing and been trusted its just they do focus out into other markets
and accepting that typical fiat.

Does anyone know which odds provider Unikrn uses for their sportsbook (not talking about e-sports but just normal sports) ?

Never heard of this casino, but are they accepting crypto?

If not then they should not be listed here in the forum.

Those who came in the forum are interested in advertising and they believe that exposure in the forum would help them gain customers.

Not all bookmakers or all gambling sites do advertise in this forum and I guess they already has lot of users visit from their site that they don't need to do it here, just my guess.

If you look at the recent replies you'll notice that some members here knows the gambling firm and they say it's crytpo friendly too.

I don't even know how to pronounce that word, seriously.
If this is good gambling site and into cryptoworld, there should probably come into this forum and introduce their project.

Reviews are not good with this site, maybe this is why its not popular and its not here in the forum. I'd rather choose the trusted gambling site when it comes to Esports, too risky for this site.

It's like that when casinos are licensed! I think there is no gambling licence that allows people from all countries to play... I entered the site, and I can register, but I am sure that not all features are allowed for me as well! X times (like zillion times) I could register, but when I ask for bonuses and other promotions they say it's not allowed for people from Serbian IP address! If you wish to try them I suggest using VPN, if the site is OK with that!

The site looks great and by their advertisement, they are the most trusted esports operator! That worth checking out I guess, I am looking for a site with esports games, especially if they have Balkan region and tournaments from here!

If that's so, then I think this site is worth checking, owned by a popular personality so its expected that they will not destroy their reputation, unless they are not really the owner and the site are just using their name.

If the site has very good review and reputation from background checking, then I think it's worth trying to play on that site. How many years does their casino is up? I'm not usually placing bets on sportsbooks cause I know only a little from how they work... I always stick on playing slot. Do they offer any slots or card games? Do they also offer e-sports betting?

the website doesn't have slots or card games (at least that is what I see when looking at their website) it seems that they focus on E-sport betting and sports betting. if you have more questions check the site for your self and look around(here's the link https://unikrn.com/).

according to who.is their website has been up since 2014. updated their domain in 2019 and would expire in 2025

Never heard the name of this esportsbet website before. However, since this esportsbet website is owned by many popular investors, it is understood that this website will be trustworthy. But I have checked their Terms of Service and found that they have restricted a lot of countries, maybe normal people know less about their website because they have restricted many countries.

And because of all these hard rules, maybe they haven’t come to marketing on Bitcointalk yet.

I did some research and here goes what I found: https://www.coindesk.com/mark-cuban-backed-unikrn-ico-hit-by-class-action-lawsuit. Well, they got an ICO in the past but just this last year this has been released by the SEC https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2020-211

Looks like some bad shot from the start I suppose, always DYOR. Mark Cuban still supports the firm https://markcubancompanies.com/ but that doesn't mean it comes with great success, we never know.

I never heard of this gambling site here, I guess the main reason is they don't accept cryptocurrency and they don't have a marketing promotion that they lead into this forum, and since we are crypto users we only give attention to the gambling site that accepts crypto, not on the gambling site that purely based on the fiat.

Why not try to ask them to accept cryptocurrency and have a promotion here, I guess even though they required KYC verification there are still people who use cryptocurrency. What do you think?

haunebu said that the site accepts crypto and fiat so they always welcome in this forum . one of its founder is mark cuban and is a bitcoin investor but your suggestion is correct , we can ask them to have a thread in bitcointalk because this can boost thier sales and also to help gamblers discover new betting sites . kyc is not a problem to some gamblers and kyc can be found also on crypto gambling

There are other gambling platforms that didn't advertise their site but still they have gain lots of users to bet and later on some decided they to also promote their gambling platform in this forum plus having a sig campaign. In this case, I haven't heard or read about this kind of gambling platform even though you have said that it's been operating for 6 years. They have their own reason why not promote their site in this forum and it may be because of the issue of ICO.

^That is enough reason to not want to use them for many people that are going to use crypto for payment, I mean if privacy doesn't matter to you and you have  absolutely no problem going through KYC process there are tons of other reputable casino websites that you can try that accept Fiat only as well.

I'm 100% sure you can easily find a good trusted casino website in Gambling section if you read their official threads and members posts there, many of them even have active customer supports here in the forum which you can reach whenever you got a problem or have a question about them.

You have a good point but in my opinion it is much safer if we gamble on trusted and reputable gambling sites rather than trying to gamble on a site that you haven't heard of yet even if that site did also have advertised on different platform compared to this promote their site in this forum. Better be careful rather than not being careful enough not to get scammed or fooled by it.
