Betting on your favourite sports team is easy, but betting on Esports teams has always been a bit more complicated. But no longer, as with the launch of Unikrn, Esports are all you can bet on and they come complete with statistics about past games, current win/loss ratios and even how others are betting live during the game.
Of course thanks to online gambling laws, there are a number of places in the USA that cannot take part, but there are a few states that can, and the rest of the world of course, so it still has the potential to make a splash online.
Built in partnership with Australian betting company, Tabcorp, Unikrn is designed to bring Esports betting to the mainstream, by making it easier, more fun and more likely to bring in the many millions of fans around the world that watch professional Esports players on a regular basis.
"eSports is one of the largest sports globally, attracting viewer numbers that are on par with traditional sports such as American football and basketball," said the site's owner, Rahul Sood. "We couldn't have found a better partner than Tabcorp to drive innovation and bring wagering to the fast-growing eSports market."
According to estimations (via EG) around 70 million people watched Esports last year alone. That's a sizeable audience, many of whom should be willing to put down a few dollars on a game.
Have any of you ever betted on an Esports game's outcome?
