Unikrn launch free-play eSports betting platform, open Ashton Kutcher’s wallet

Fledgling eSports betting operator Unikrn has launched a free-play version of its real-money betting platform.

On Tuesday, Unikrn announced the launch of Unikrn Arena Global, along with a companion Unikrn Vault app for iOS and Android devices. Unkirn also announced the debut of its proprietary ‘Unikoin’ currency, which players can use to enter daily, weekly and monthly raffles for prizes from companies like Alienware, HP and Logitech, plus additional prizes from pro eSports teams.

Unikrn boasts a 9m strong community that gather to watch and discuss live eSports events, while residents of certain jurisdictions have the extra option of wagering money on said events. In April, Unikrn launched its real-money betting platform in conjunction with Australian betting operator Tabcorp and the platform launched in the UK the following month.

Unikrn Arena Global offers users the opportunity to earn Unikoins by performing daily ‘quests,’ such as placing wagers (in cash or Unikoin), engaging with their social media friends and answering trivia questions.
