The World Championship is a grandiose sports event. And if there is sport, there are passion, gambling and money. So, here I will tell you about the top hype projects connected with gambling and cryptocurrencies, dated to the World Cup.

Experts predict the growth of popularity of the cryptocurrencies during the World Championship. Fans pay for the hotels with Bitcoin and Ether, make bets on their favorite teams and some people start whole cryptogames, connected with football.

I will begin, perhaps, with games.

Crypto Strikers

The project was announced several weeks ago. The game’s developers have worked on the creation of other games on blockchain in the past, both, according to their words on Medium, are football fans, therefore an idea came to their minds — to create a collection of cards with well-known football players where every card has a unique code. The developers write that do not have time to start the project before the World Cup, but all the same they hope to draw public attention.

World Cup Ether

The news that a game on the Ethereum blockchain would appear before the World championship, appeared about three months ago. It was announced, that World Cup Ether would feature an ordinary (for a cryptogame) gameplay — full copy of Cryptokitties — only instead of kittens there would be football players. It is a card game where every card represents a player of a soccer team. Every card possesses some weight and price (just like football players in real life). The rarer the card, the more expensive it is. The developers write that the game allows to create soccer teams and conduct matches, competing with each other.

In the end it turned out that the project was pure scam. Now the game site is blocked, and all the information is removed from Reddit. Be cautious!

Sports forecasts

Just several weeks ago one more project, connected with the World cup, appeared — CryptoCup. The project positions itself as a game on the Ethereum blockchain for predictions of match outcome. Actually, making an application for predictings the results of some events on blockchain is not a new idea. But this project is dated to the Worls cup. Players can create their own tokens and determine the events whose outcomes need to be predicted. As a matter of fact, CryptoCup represents a certain trading platform for predictions on blockchain:

“Each token is customizable and unique as it holds the player’s choices. Players will earn points when comparing their predictions with the real results. Those with more points will be rewarded by redeeming their prize from the Smart Contract” — reporting on the CryptoCup site.

This year has seen a lot of blockchain projects which offer to make bets on favorite teams or predict match outcomes. Reuters even informs that the governments of Asian countries are disturbed by a surge of illegal cryptocasinos and betting on the eve of the World Cup.

CryptoCup

Unsurprisingly, experts have started talking about the cryptocurrency boom because of the World Cup. Let’s see how this will turn out.

Everybody has already got used to the fact that sports and gambling always go hand in hand. Therefore, on the day before the World Cup not only gambling game manufacturers but the usual online casinos became more active.

For example, the other day NetEnt announced a new football slot. It Looks a little simplistic, as if someone had hurried the developers to meet the deadline.

It is by far not a full review of the sport gambling projects which have sprung up all over on the eve of the Championship. I believe, many scams and swindlers speculating on the WC await us in the next few weeks. So I urge all of you to be cautious and hold your wallets under lock and key. Besides, the FairWin token sale will start on July, 7th.
