Unibet sign esports star in savvy move; Jacobsen wins Unibet Open Malta

Unibet has signed esports star Alan ‘Hotted89′ Widmann to act as a brand ambassador in an inspired move, and Daniel Jacobsen wins the Unibet Open in Malta.

One man’s heaven is another man’s hell.

I remember interviewing Unibet’s ambassador, Espen Uhlen Jørstad, for a PokerListings piece, back when my fingers couldn’t stop moving, and I was churning out more shit than Eric Carle.

Jørstad told me how he would hide from the world because he didn’t feel like he belonged. Instead of walking to the chemist to ask for a pill, Jørstad hid in his bedroom, spending his time killing Orcs and Elves in World of Warcraft (WoW).
