- By SCOTT REID

bookmaker owned betting sites are outdated with the odds stacked against users. We are aiming to fundamenta­lly disrupt the market.

“We provide our players with an exciting and secure platform on which to challenge other users’ knowledge of sport but with a big difference – on the world’s first blockchain-powered, peer-to-peer betting exchange.

“We are positioned for a new, younger type of sports better and one who wants a gaming experience to be part of the offering.”

He added: “We’re literally betting big on blockchain and all the metrics point towards an upwards trajectory in both cryptocurr­encyuseand­sports betting. Rather than launching yet another coin, we accept all crypto coins and tokens.

“We know there are a massive amount of people unsure of how to spend their crypto and we think Mungoparc is going to give them a great destinatio­n.”

Investors in the founding team and product build to date include Galvanise Capital managing partner, Nick Jones, and a £1 million seed funding round is now in process.

The investment will fund accelerate­d product developmen­t to maintain “first mover advantage” as well as marketing, Mungoparc added.
