[ANN] ⚽️ FansUnite ⚾️ Sports Betting on the Blockchain

I've heard there's a lot of benefit to registering gambling sites in Curaçao, will you guys be going through them?

No, our plan is to be based out of Gibraltar. We've been working with our legal team out there, ISOLAS LLP, and will be engaging the gaming authorities there to obtain the appropriate license. Gibraltar have stringent gaming requirements, so our hope is that when the US legalizes sports betting, we will be well positioned to obtain a license there.

That's a very telling approach. Everyone else wants to take short cuts and take the easy path, you guys are planning far ahead and aren't afraid to work harder right now to ensure success in the future.

Thanks for the kind words. Even as a lawyer myself, I can attest that the proper legal path does take a surprising amount of time and effort.

Interesting, do you specialize in blockchain or betting?

Any chance of you guys expanding to eSports betting?

We will for sure offer eSports betting. It's one of our core offerings. We already offer eSports on our existing platform, FansUnite.com and will definitely offer eSports betting on our real money sportsbook at FansUnite.io

That's great, there's lots of money to be made there.

Yeah, it's one of our fastest growing sports in terms of volume of bets, so we are very excited to watch the continued growth.

I remember another token Hero, they have already a mature project for betting

Hero only offers eSports. We offer everything from eSports to darts, to cricket, to tennis, to NFL, to English Premier League.

I specialize in the intersection of corporate commercial with blockchain and digital asset law.

Fansunite might not have a mature betting platform, but they at least have a good demo of it.

People often underestimate it. I remember one year an event being more watched than the World Series.

So what happens to unsold tokens?

So what happens to unsold tokens?

They will be placed in the Platform Supply Pool to pay out winning wagers. If there are an excess of tokens in the Platform Supply Pool, they will be sold to bring in new members (at a significant premium to market prices so as to not suppress the token price). Other excess tokens in the Platform Supply Pool will be distributed to existing members through the Community Incentive Plan

You sound like a useful guy to have around in a venture like this then!

Very solid plan it sounds like.

That is impressive, and that was years ago. I bet it's even more watched nowadays.

Yeah you're right, 2014 had 23M viewers. 2016 was up to 43M!

Very impressive, especially considering how many other options there are in eSports nowadays.
