Entain, a betting and entertainment group, has relaunched its gaming and betting platform Unikrn after a year of maintenance and restructuring. The platform is currently available in Canada and Brazil, as these locations have significant interest in esports variety and fan engagement. The brand will rely on social media activations and partnerships to promote the platform and its new-and-improved user interface, allowing viewers of international tournaments and local private matches to place bets.
“[...] You can expect that, over the coming years, you will see us enter meaningful partnerships with a number of different stakeholders in the ecosystem, whether they be game publishers, tournament organisers, or teams,” said Justin Dellario, Entain’s CEO and managing director of esports.
