Unikrn Review

Unikrn was launched in 2014 by Rahul Sood and Karl Flores. Since then it has established itself as the front-runner in offering a combination of betting, blockchain, content and unique experiences within the esports niche.

Whilst this Unikrn review is primarily focused on the esports betting side of the operation, it would be unjust to say that it’s all UniKrn has to offer. Put simply, if you play esports, like to watch esports or are just generally interested, you need to have an account with these guys. It covers all the major titles from the world of Dota 2, League of Legends, Fortnite, Overwatch, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and more. Let’s dig a bit deeper to show you exactly what we’re talking about.

Unikrn delivers live betting on a stunning number of matchups every month. Games tend to be from the more established, high-profile leagues but there are plenty of those happening around the globe.

The betting platform for in-play action is a cut above. Many matches are streamed live on Twitch (just don’t even need to have an account to view the action). Just like the pre-match betting, there are a plethora of markets to choose from depending on the type of game you’re interested in. A neat feature of the in-play betting markets on Unikrn is that it states ‘Closed’ and lists the winner once that market is complete, such as the first team to slay a dragon. This gives knowledgeable bettors a good idea of how the action is progressing, so you can jump in with the right bet, at the right time.

It’s no secret that most avid esports bettors will be gamers themselves, and as such be very tech-savvy. Therefore, a cutting-edge platform is simply demanded. Unikrn does not disappoint in this area either. The whole layout is clean and crisp. You have a menu at the top for the various parts of the platform: betting, jackpots, connekt and so on, and all of the content is spaciously laid out on the page below. 

Navigation is super-simple. From the homepage, it only takes a couple of clicks to find the sport and market you want. The bet slip is intuitive which makes placing multiple and combination bets effortless. When watching a live stream if you scroll the page, the video player reduces in size and sticks in the bottom corner, meaning you don’t miss any of the action. All-around, it’s a delight to use for bettors of all levels and experience.

For esports betting, there isn’t a Unikrn mobile app available at this moment in time. However, don’t fret, the web-based platform is fully mobile responsive. Just like its desktop counterpart, the mobile display is premium quality. The menus are clear and the buttons are big and bold.

You have all the features available, pre-match and in-play betting, live streaming, jackpots and more. Claiming bonuses and promotions is hassle-free and banking is safe and secure. There is now a Unikrn Vault app available for iOS devices. This is a wallet for your UKG which we highly recommend downloading so you can store your cryptocurrency safely.

Unikrn is really pushing Unikoin Gold, its own cryptocurrency, to be the dominant payment method used by players and bettors on the site. If you’ve never purchased a cryptocurrency before, Unikrn does provide a reasonable amount of information related to this and offers a list of verified exchanges you can use.

Scanning through the Help Centre pages, there is mention of traditional currencies using the payment methods listed below. It appears as though these are only available in certain countries at the moment though.

The advantage of UKG is the withdrawal speed. There is no hanging around like you find at other bookmakers. Of course, if you want your winnings in fiat money, you’ll need to send it back to the exchange, sell it and then withdraw from there which could take a few days.

We found the Help Centre to be well-stocked with frequently asked questions and answers, so we advise looking through this as your first port of call if you have a query. Unikrn is also active on Twitter and Facebook, plus there is a Discord group, too. You can also speak to a customer service agent via live chat or send an email.

Despite not holding a UKGC licence, Unikrn holds a remote gaming licence issued by the Government of the Isle of Man and it has also acquired an MGA licence, too.

It’s hard to imagine this brand not having its own app at some point in the future. So, watch this space.

Yes, sort of. For registering, you get 10 UKS and you also get a daily login bonus of 25 UKS. This isn’t actually real money, but you can use it on the platform.

We refer to our Unikrn bonus code article for full information.

We can’t be certain, but it seems unlikely in the foreseeable future. For now, this is solely dedicated to esports and it’s doing a stellar job in this niche.
