Fans Can Now Bet Crypto on Twitch's Top 'Fortnite' Streams

Published on by Coindesk | Published on

Fans of the biggest Fortnite and Apex Legends streamers on Twitch can now place real bets on how well they play.

The problem with running an esports book is that there isn't always something to bet on, according to Unikrn CEO Rahul Sood.

Users can bet on live esports tournaments at the top tier.

People don't always want to bet on themselves, and while there's a lot of esports tournaments in the world, there are not yet enough for fans to bet on a top-tier game no matter the time.

To get there, Unikrn is announcing a new system that lets visitors to its website open up streams on other platforms and bet on the outcomes of two of the biggest free-to-play first-person-shooter games out there.

Unikrn is always on the other side of every bet placed on the platform.

There's a number of different ways a player can bet on a round while a stream is live, such as betting on whether or not the streamer will win it, how long they will survive, how many kills they will get and more.

The company is also giving users a way to bet on a giant backlog of matches from esports games that have happened in the past.

It's something gamblers do when there's no real race to bet on.

As the system becomes more familiar with them, it allows them to bet more on any given round.
