Is there a possibility of an Android app in the future?

Great question! Yeah, we definitely will be releasing mobile apps. That will be part of our updated Roadmap which will be released, hopefully, next week.

Has anybody from the team run through the legal nightmare of running a bookmaker, in the past? I hear it's quite a challenge.

Great question earthcoin! Personally, I have not proceeded through the legal gauntlet of running a sportsbook, though I've been involved on the perimeter of gaming law.  I have extensive experience with blockchain and digital asset related files. However, we've strategically partnered with two key law firms:

Segev LLP - a law-firm based out of Vancouver that specializes in iGaming law and has experience with daily fantasy, sports betting and poker platforms. Segev LLP has helped, through their network, numerous betting and poker companies obtain the necessary licenses and remain compliant.

ISOLAS - a prominent firm in the cryptocurrency space and has advised several large token sales recently, including clients in the gaming space. They have a good relationship with the requisite gaming authorities in Gibraltar. 

Both firms are integral to us adhering to all applicable regulatory authorities and will play a significant role in our ability to secure gaming licenses moving forward.

I'll have to check out Segev LLP, they sound pretty crucial to your whole operation. Thanks for the reply.

This is actually the best way to go about it. Have a specialized company handling everything related to that part of the business...

We certainly think so, as much as the movement is to decentralize and deregulate everything in crypto... it can still pay dividends to have a group with industry knowledge and concern for their community in the drivers seat.

We won't let you down.

[BlitzandBitz]

The roadmap should be very telling. I'll definitely be checking it out.

[Dipsomaniac]

How many guys have joined you on Slack? This is a good metric.

Any numbers on this? I find it's a good way to gauge serious interest.

[okspam]

Any idea how much is premined in total at this point?

Sounds good. I would urge anyone looking at contributing to FansUnite.io to check out all of our team members. Not only are we proud of the team we've ensembled, but it's probably best practice to do so for all possible projects, anyways.

Around 600 at this point, but we've got a good foothold in our existing community on FansUnite.com.

How many people work on this project part time or full time?

[BlitzandBitz]

Is there anything to stop traders from getting a good deal on the tokens early on, only to dump them at the first exchange? I've seen this tactic mess over ICO's before.

[hughjays77]

Any news on ICO date? I like the project, the team and the real product you already have.
Your platform is pretty cool sir.

[duncan-fansunite]

Hi BuyingFast, there is a team of 8 that are on the project full-time. I would also guess that our advisors and surrounding team spend at least 4 hours a day on the project, if not more.

Hi BlitzandBits, great question. The tokens being held for founders will be subject to a release schedule for 18 months. In regards to big contributors and the possibility that they dump their tokens as soon as it is listed, we have strategically aligned ourselves with investors that we do not foresee (and have received assurances from) dumping their coins in the short-term. Of course, there is no guarantee, but we are relatively confident as we've had quite a few conversations these parties.

Thanks hughjays77! We've just had the Token Information document designed, and hope to have it released tomorrow or Tuesday, but Wednesday at he latest. That will have all the information in it that you are looking for!

Thanks for your support and for the kind words!

That's great. I could see a service like this getting a lot of mobile users on board.

600 isn't bad, maybe you could try to push more people to it?

What else can you tell us about the updated roadmap? Any other new features besides mobile support you can think of off the top of your head?

Agreed. In our opinion, mobile betting is only going to increase, especially outside of North America. We have a few connections in Africa and Asia which we have not yet disclosed (which I probably cannot yet), through which we hope to penetrate those markets as well.

This project is interesting.  Seems very ambitious of course and the scale of it combined with the history of this forum makes people hesitant to take it seriously.  It would be really cool to see this project become a reality. Will be curious to watch how this develops.
