Can you clarify which games you seem to be missing? The team that has been in charge of the esportsbook have been continuously adding games and matches. Any in particular that you believe we missed or should pay closer attention to?

Last I heard from customers is that they were happy to see we had so many games up. We also had various exotic and outright markets for EVO!

We actually found that a lot of gamers are actually familiar with cryptocurrency.

I'm not going to be wasting too much time wasting this ridiculous attempt at FUD.
UnikoinGold and Unikrn platform development and expansion efforts are ongoing, are you keeping up? Did you not watch the video or read the blogposts we keep our community updated with?

Palladium is seperate from UnikoinGold.
- This isn't a scam, it's a regulated raising of funds with a dedicated team to build out the entire company for which the ICCO tokens - and later shares, are held.
- Malta regulations are very welcoming to blockchain companies and cryptocurrency and hence why this venture has such strong ties to Malta.
- Regulation of cryptocurrency is indeed a tough road but far from unfeasible. You think all of these businesses and recognized business people would tie their name to something they wouldn't actually back?

Not mentioned in the docs and there are some caveats to it - but I am fairly sure anyone in the EU can apply to open a bank account in another EU country.

Here is Unikrn CEO, Rahul Sood's livestream from last Friday on Palladium, Unikrn, UKG and Bitcoin in late 2018

In this livestream he answers questions and touches on the following subjects:

Palladium ICCO in general:
- Why opt for this venture?
- Is it open to American and Canadian investors?
- Do investors have to transfer funds in Euros?
- Will this token be traded on regular exchanges?
- Can anyone who holds any sum of tokens convert it into shares?
- Aside from converting it into shares, there is no further utility right? We don’t use it to pay for fees for Palladium services similar to some other cryptocurrency exchanges do?

Palladium Pre-sale
- How are the terms of the presale commitments different from the general offering?
- Who is (or was) eligible for presale commitments?
- Are you still taking on pre-sale commitments? If so, how do I apply?

20000 EUR minimum
- The minimum to participate is 20.000 euros, is there going to be any avenue for smaller investors to participate - similar as to how the Maingear raise was funded OR through some kind of pooling option.

Operations
- Will this bank be open to US customers and other worldwide customers? What about the exchange and or other services that Palladium will be offering?
- Will there be an incentive for Bittrex customers to also use the Palladium Exchange?

Unikrn & Palladium:
- What will Palladium do for Unikrn or UnikoinGold?
- Is Unikrn ever going to launch a security token?

Planning and Vision for Unikrn & UKG
- In a Utopian Fantasy world, what is your vision for UKG? Walk me through a day in the life of a person that interacts with The UKG coin. What is your ideal future for the company ten years from now? Specifically and no matter how outlandish it may seem now.
- When will UKG live betting come to USA?
- What measures are taken to prevent cheating in buy-in competitions?
- How will UKG protect underaged gamers?
- If Credit Card payment options are integrated - who will be liable for the merchant fee?
- What about combating credit card fraud?

Bitcoin
- What will Bitcoin value be December 2018?

More questions:
- Is Unikrn not hiring? Where can I send my resumé?
- What about Palladium? Where can I apply for a job?
- If Unikrn opts to issue a security token, will it only be open for accredited investors?

Introducing Palladium Bank and Palladium Exchange, a Joint Venture with Bittrex.



UnikoinGold was launched as the largest gaming and esports token sale to date, with over 112,000 ETH collected, largely from individual customers in over 100 countries. Almost immediately, our community of users ran into an issue that plagues every altcoin on the market: access.

More people wanted UKG than could get it, and going through the hurdles of acquiring Bitcoin, finding an exchange, transferring the BTC to that exchange, trading for UKG, and then coming to Unikrn is just a broken experience on so many levels.

On top of this we hurried to get UKG onto as many legitimate exchanges as possible, but because there are so many questionable operations in crypto, we knew we had to do our research. During the fall of 2017, it became substantially more difficult to vet exchanges because of the unheard of amount of volume and scams in the space.

This leads me to conclude that the crypto market is in desperate need of three things to become mainstream;

• Governments need to support innovation in the blockchain space while applying regulation that protects consumers.
• Banks need to embrace blockchain and make it easy to bank with crypto.
• Blockchain companies need tools to make it easier for their customers to use their platforms.

I’ve wanted to help change these broken aspects of the ecosystem for a long time now, and today we’re taking a huge step toward solving some of blockchain’s biggest challenges. We’re working to put cryptocurrency into the spotlight in a way never before seen while radically improving the user experience for companies like Unikrn.

Today, I am in Malta. I am here because it is one of the most forward-thinking countries in the world particularly when it comes to cryptocurrency and fintech. There’s a reason that Unikrn worked over a year to establish roots in Malta, and now companies like Binance, OKex, Bitbay, and a host of other companies in this field are shipping operations here.

Say Hi to Palladium

I’m joining the board of — and Unikrn is helping power — one of the most ambitious blockchain companies in the world. It’s called Palladium. You’re probably wondering if this is just another “historic” cryptocurrency project with no teeth (I’m sure you hear about those every day). I would say other projects are guppies, while this is a shark.

Palladium will become the first regulated unified platform for fiat banking and cryptocurrency exchange, meaning users will be able to make cryptocurrency payments for their bills, buy crypto from their checking account, or swap crypto assets without needing multiple wallets and accounts, all from a single platform. Palladium Exchange, powered by Bittrex, will be the first regulated exchange to allow both security and utility tokens to be transacted.

The project is regulated by a European directive prospectus which is already approved, the first ever, and nothing like this exists in the world.

Palladium will further make history by holding the world’s first-ever initial convertible coin offering (ICCO) which will give our investors an actual convertible warrant for actual partial ownership of the company, creating direct investor participation.

It’s designed to effect sweeping change in crypto and fintech by allowing users to buy, sell, trade, and save in any currency — crypto or fiat — within a fully legal and regulatory compliant framework.

In a new joint venture with Bittrex, Palladium and Bittrex are building a brand-new exchange — we are in the middle of acquiring our banking license while creating a network that will allow the two to interact and communicate within modern regulation.

There’s a reason Unikrn was tapped for this project: we created the idea alongside some veterans of insurance, finance and investment. This will help create liquidity in all legitimate crypto markets, from Bitcoin to UnikoinGold to small utility tokens created for niche markets with legitimate teams behind them.

Bittrex CEO Bill Shihara, who recently joined our board of advisors, is here in Malta with me, along with Kiran Raj, Bittrex Chief Strategy Officer, and Unikrn co-founder Karl Flores, Unikrn CTO Daniel Rudolph. We’re also joined by the incredible Palladium leadership team including their CEO Prof. Paolo Catalfamo. We are announcing Palladium today at the Malta Stock Exchange with the Prime Minister of Malta, Dr. Joseph Muscat, the Parliamentary Secretary for Financial Services, Digital Economy and Innovation, Mr. Silvio Schembri, the CEO of the Malta Financial Services Authority, Mr. Joseph Cuschieri, and many more.

So What does this mean for Unikrn?

While this is a major move for the industry as a whole, I can understand why our customers and investors would ask what is the benefit to Unikrn.

Firstly, it means we’re working on solutions to enhance the blockchain ecosystem, which will be good for UnikoinGold users. That’s especially important to think about given that we’re rolling out crypto betting soon. We want to give our users the ability to swipe a credit card and buy UKG from our site, just make it easy. This is the kind of tech we will work to enable for every good operator in the space.

Secondly, Unikrn is a significant owner of this potentially world-changing venture. We created vital new technologies for the UKG sale, we have patent-pending crypto-related tech in our stables for UKG, and we plan to license some of that to Palladium.

Thirdly, it means we’re working side-by-side with leaders in crypto and blockchain, the Malta government, Bittrex, and others who are defining the world. We get this seat in history because we are defining the world, too, and our entire community is there with us.

Thank you for supporting us on our journey! Go Palladium and Go Unikrn!

Bill Shihara, the founder and CEO of Bittrex, has joined Unikrn’s Board of Advisors

I’m extremely pleased to announce that. Bill Shihara, the co-founder and CEO of Bittrex, is joining Unikrn’s board of advisors. Bittrex is one of world’s largest and best exchanges, and another startup from Seattle. Having his insight along with our existing managers and advisors is a game-changer for our future, but it should come as no surprise that Bill is interested in joining our movement.

Well before launching UnikoinGold, Unikrn was laying foundations to allow us to be a global leader in the future of esports and blockchain. We had already created use cases, product, customers and blueprints for future development.

As I’ve said many times, for Unikrn to realize its potential requires an immense amount of forward work. Both Blockchain and esports are cutting-edge fields that regularly see more change in a month than most industries face in years.

With the recent Supreme Court ruling – and the confusion that followed regarding how to classify esports – esports betting and government recognition of esports needs a leader like Unikrn to help shine a light on the space.

It means everything that we are prepared, that we are scanning the horizon, that we are building for the future, and that we are working fully within existing regulations. We’re ahead of the game, and we have the technology to build a stable foundation where other companies can’t even walk.

And very soon we’ll be launching a separate joint venture that will have leviathan implications in the crypto world as a whole, increasing usage for cryptocurrencies and ease of trading for Blockchain assets as a whole. I’m proud that we are spotting and solving existing problems in the Blockchain economy not only for the good of UnikoinGold, but for the advancement of Blockchain technologies across the board.

Unikrn’s goal when launching UnikoinGold was to create a singular gaming experience based around the security and simplicity of a utility token. Bill’s contributions from Unikrn’s board of advisors is perfectly timed alongside the final stretches of development for additional cryptocurrency-powered gaming and esports applications, including crypto esports betting in Europe.

Bill will provide incomparable insight and direction for increasing UKG adoption and security, and he provides the insight of one of the world’s most qualified crypto leaders as more applications, exchanges and groups are brought into the UKG network,.

Unikrn has even more ambitious aspirations ahead, including a potential future listing on a security-approved exchange (among other upcoming non-UKG crypto partnerships).

We are still working on our content, our platform, our tournaments, our esports team ownership, our partnerships within the NBA2K League, and our live events among other endeavors. Stop by The Park in Las Vegas tomorrow to get a taste of how we’re bringing esports and gaming into new arenas.

Every single day we get closer. Today’s horizon is tomorrow’s stomping ground. That Bill is joining our journey should tell you everything you need to know about how serious we are, and how seriously you should take us.

This Tuesday, June 12th, Unikrn is excited to offer the option to bet using UnikoinSilver for the Fortnite Pro-Am tournament at E3, featuring players like Tyler 'Ninja' Blevins and Ali 'Myth' Kabbani, as well as celebrities like Marshmello, Joel McHale, and Janina Gavankar.

Unikrn is the very first esports betting operation to offer odds in their esportsbook on the massively popular battle royale shooter Fortnite. The celebrity-filled Pro-Am Tournament at next week's E3 conference will be the platform's first foray into Fortnite odds, offering users to place bets on which teams they think will when big.

"When we started Unikrn in 2014 we knew the opportunities for growing within the esports communities were endless," says Unikrn co-found and CEO Rahul Sood. "Becoming the first esports organization to offer odds on Fortnite is just a glimpse behind the curtain of what we're planning."

Unikrn will also be offering prizes in up to 1,000 UnikoinGold for users who accurately predict the top teams of the event. Prizes and competitions include:

• 100 UKG prize for the first 100 users to guess the tournament winning team
• 1,000 UKG prize and exclusive Unikrn swag for guessing the top three teams

More information on Unikrn's Fortnite markets and the Top Teams Competition can be found in a Press Release here.

More information on who will be competing and the team pairings for the E3 Fortnite Pro-Am tournament can be found here.

Fortnite, PUBG, Street Fighter V, and King of Glory Added to Unikrn
Since 2014, Unikrn has been building the best esports betting operation in the world by offering odds on the world's most popular esports titles like Dota 2, League of Legends, CS:GO, and Overwatch. Now, the site is excited to offer an expanded esportsbook library including Fortnite, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Street Fighter V, King of Glory, and more!
Not only does Unikrn now offer one of the widest selections of esports odds in the world, but the platform is the very first to offer an esportsbook on Fortnite, the widely popular battle royale game.

"We cannot wait to expand this even further with UKG betting," Says Unikrn co-founder and CEO Rahul Sood via Twitter, "And we are working day and night to bring that to you!"



Unikrn's growing game library is only one of the many recent additions to the platform's efforts to continue to grow in order to continue to provide the best esports betting offers in the world — including last month's complete update of the website's interface in order to add more stats, more options, and a more user friendly experience.

For how we operate around this token, which is in compliance with the the law of jurisdictions we operate in, we need legislation to work with. This PASPA news allows us that in the coming years for the US market.

You may not philosophically agree with that, but it is what we set out to do and will continue to do.

He is an investor and advisor to the company and also participated in the tokensale.

Another blogpost by our CEO, Rahul Sood:



In the last few hours, our dream became real, and our company just became substantially more valuable.

Today’s PASPA news cannot be overstated. If you missed it, esports and sports betting is no longer illegal by federal law, but instead left up to individual states.

When we started Unikrn, it was to build a fan-driven sports betting platform exclusively for esports fans. At the time, and still today, most major esports betting options came from nonendemic sports and horse racing operators who were reaching into esports without understanding the culture.

We wanted to fix that and give esports and gaming fans a truly custom experience built around their wants, needs and culture.

Since then, we’ve expanded to be a full esports culture stop, for gamers, esports fans, professionals and, yes, bettors. No matter who you are, no matter where in the world you are, if you’re a gamer or esports fan, we offer something for you.

I’m often asked why we didn’t build a fantasy model to get our real-money betting into the United States, Instead, we focused over three years staking a claim in esports betting that didn’t rely on a strange regulatory loophole. We believe in regulation, KYC, and creating a safe and legal betting experience. Our goal is not to collect money at all costs, our goal is to offer a standalone product that is worth trusting and using.

To us, that meant ignoring Daily Fantasy models, and other loopholes. We would rather focus on building the best experience possible for regions where we would be regulated. Plus, we were confident that the US market would open to regulated sports betting soon.

So we planned for the long-term, knowing that the federal government would eventually overturn the archaic law preventing responsible, regulated esports betting.

Moreover, we applaud the decision: by letting states regulate and offer sports betting, the US government is letting betting experiences become better-regulated and undermining illicit, offshore and black market operations that endanger their users. In esports, legal betting will undermine the betting pools that power skin-betting, illicit betting activity that reprehensibly sucks in minors and at-risk bettors with no regulation or know-your-customer (KYC) practices.

Undermining those pools is a major part of reducing access for at-risk populations such as minors. We hope that all 50 states will follow in New Jersey’s footsteps and legalize sports betting, bringing a safer betting environment to their citizens.

Legalizing and regulating betting, in short, makes people safer. It gives fans more tools to have fun and ensures big operators are behaving morally.

While others are working to catch up to our lead, we’ll be implementing our blockchain, patent-pending technologies and years of R&D to move on deploying real-money betting across the world. Now we expect that rollout to soon include plans for offering products in the United States.

Our platform has been evolving faster than ever before. UnikoinGold was already the first crypto on the Las Vegas strip, used as prizes in gaming tournaments at the MGM Grand. We are ready to move forward here and around the world to continue to bring an unmatched esports experience.

That means betting. That means news. That means rewarding gamers for playing and bringing them stats on their games.

As always, we are looking at the arc of history and not the tangent. We are confident in Unikrn’s future across the board, and today’s Supreme Court decision just proves we are on the right track.

Check out what Mark Cuban had to say today on this!

LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Mark Cuban, Billionaire Investor, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, investor in Unikrn and participant of the UKG tokensale was very bullish on the news today.

He was called up by CNBC to get his thoughts on the developments and mentioned Unikrn and esports betting couple of times.


He also expressed his thoughts on an interview with ESPN's Jacob Wolf (click for the full videos):

Esports Betting Now Possible in US in New Supreme Court Ruling

In a new Supreme Court ruling the federal ban on sports betting has been deemed unconstitutional, thus opening the door for official esports betting to become a reality in the United States.
Sports gambling is a wildly lucrative industry, even without previous legality in states across the nation. According to Statista, the global gross gambling yield amounts to more than $400 billion every year. The online gambling market was worth more than $40 billion in the US by 2016. And esports gambling in particular is a growing portion of those bets, with a $325 million yield in 2016 that's projected to grow to $1.4 billion by 2020.

Today's 6-3 decision to eliminate the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) for violation of the 10th Amendment, which states that the federal government cannot enforce laws that would compel states to carry out federal dictates, has been a battle long brewing.

“The legalization of sports gambling requires an important policy choice, but the choice is not ours to make,” Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. wrote for the majority. “Congress can regulate sports gambling directly, but if it elects not to do so, each state is free to act on its own.”

Needless to say, the gambling industry is ecstatic at the news as some states have been preparing for legal sports betting for some time now.

"11 states have introduced sports betting legislation. Four states have already legalized sports betting," leading gambling lawyer Jeff Ifrah told Unikrn News. "There are more on the way. And now this — New Jersey has started accepting sports betting operator license applications. This isn't only happening because states want more tax revenue, it's also because happening there is customer demand for it and because sports leagues want to improve fan engagement."

Ifrah is bullish on the effect this will have on esports and esports leagues, and especially for esportsbooks, such as Unikrn, that are in a position to engage immediately:


While the Supreme Court didn't mentioned esports specifically in their ruling, esports has been authorized for betting by Sportsbook before. Should individual states recognize traditional sports betting, the leap to esports is only a matter of time.

"When Karl and I started Unikrn in 2014 we made a decision to go down the path of regulated esports betting because we believe the future of this space is massive," says Unikrn CEO and founder Rahul Sood. "We fully expected the federal laws to change — and for the past few years we have built a technical moat around Unikrn. We are light-years ahead of the competition and we will enable esports betting across the US in the future!"

And thanks to the United States Supreme Court ruling today, that future could very well be tomorrow.

Our community frequently tells us we’re moving too fast to follow



Our community frequently tells us we’re moving too fast to follow. I get it. We launch new features, partnerships or other major announcements every week. Even the most diehard Unikrn fan might have trouble keeping up.
