Sports betting is widely regarded as a vertical that will be disrupted by blockchain technology, with its inherent properties of transparency, security and immutably stored data providing a compelling use-case for both bettors and operators. Ethereum has established itself as the preeminent public blockchain in terms of developer mindshare, number of unique addresses, and transactions processed — surpassing 52% of all cryptocurrency transactions last year. The FansUnite Protocol provides the first viable solution for sports betting applications to accept transactions in any token on the Ethereum blockchain. The FansUnite Protocol Whitepaper is available here and the FansUnite Sportsbook Whitepaper is available here.
“By leveraging blockchain technology and a compelling token economy, FansUnite is going to redefine the sports betting and sports data marketplaces. Transparent market information on the blockchain holds the key to providing a level playing field in sports betting, enabling new market entrants and competition on price — a huge win for the betting public.” said Darius Eghdami, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of FansUnite.
“Further, these advancements are an opportunity for forward-thinking operators to embrace the cost savings and potential new markets represented by a blockchain sports betting solution and reaffirm their position as market leaders before they’re left behind. This raise will position FansUnite shareholders with a proportional interest in FansUnite as we head towards the launch of the FansUnite Protocol and Sportsbook, while continuing to explore opportunities to become a stand-alone publicly traded company.”
FansUnite is continuing to develop the FansUnite Protocol, Sportsbook, and currently unannounced applications, pursuing M&A activity in the sports, gaming and entertainment industries, and are exploring a go public strategy later this year.
