Since some states in the US still do not permit sports betting and there are strict rules against them, the players residing in those locations have the chance to utilize the cryptocurrency UnikoinSilver, which is an exclusively virtual one and could not be cashed out. This comes to show the close-knit relationship competitive video games have with digital currencies and it all has the underlining spirit of gambling. It has been recently announced that the eSports company Play2Live will introduce the first-ever competitive video gaming tournament which features a big prize that will be offered by utilizing the platform’s own Level Up Coin token.
