The esports gambling operators, Unikrn, has acquired the tournament platform ChallengeMe in a multi-million dollar acquisition Rahul Sood calls the biggest of his life.

I was asked the other day if I had a man crush on Rahul Sood because I write about his company frequently. I don’t. In many ways, Unikrn reminds me of PokerStars when the Isle of Man team is firing on all cylinders, and not acting like a cat that’s just had its balls snipped, and the holes are sewn shut.

I write about gambling related news stories, primarily poker, and sometimes trying to find a story worthy of reading feels like a fishbone in the throat.

And then, every once in a while, a company comes along that is growing at such a rate, a press release or blog post signifying a change lands in my inbox with the frequency of those AddThisTeam spam emails that just won’t die.
