Unikrn

Unikrn was an esports betting and entertainment company founded in November 2014 by Rahul Sood and Karl Flores, headquartered in Seattle and backed by investors including Mark Cuban, Ashton Kutcher, 500 Global, and Pantera Capital. The platform offered real-money and token-based wagering on competitive video game tournaments (CS:GO, League of Legends, Dota 2, and more) and ran a $30M ICO for its UnikoinGold (UKG) cryptocurrency in 2017, which it later disabled as part of a 2021 SEC settlement. Unikrn was acquired by Entain in August 2021, and the unikrn.com betting site was permanently closed on October 20, 2023. The domain now serves only a farewell notice; the company publishes no APIs, developer portal, or public technical artifacts.

Unikrn is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Esports, Betting, Gaming, and Cryptocurrency.
