(UNITED KINGDOM, London – June 2017) Betgenius, the global leader in providing sportsbook technology to regulated bookmakers and lotteries, today announced a landmark agreement with Unikrn, the world’s leading esports bookmaker.
Betgenius will provide Unikrn with a captivating in-play betting product, featuring fully automated prices for thousands of live events, including all major League of Legends, DotA 2, CS:GO, Call of Duty and Overwatch tournaments.
The partnership leverages Betgenius’ unique data services and technology to drive the global expansion of Unikrn’s betting community in a host of regulated territories and harness the combined power of both platforms’ partnerships.
