Unblockable has received significant interest from NFL and NBA teams since the launch of free-to-play sports prediction app HotStreak at a New Orleans Pelicans’ NBA game.
Team interest includes licensing the game or partnering with Unblockable to bring the game to their fans.
HotStreak eliminates sports betting jargon and presents prop predictions with a user-friendly design. Players can choose up to three predictions and points are added or subtracted based on whether they get the predictions right.
Unblockable, which originally had ties to cryptocurrency but has pivoted to the free-to-play sports prediction space, raised $5 million dollars from Shasta Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners last May.
Statistics from HotStreak’s launch:
• There were more than 10,000 predictions made during the game. Ninety percent of downloaders made one prediction while 50 percent made 15 or more predictions.
• Seventy percent of the people who downloaded the game, which is currently only available on iOS, played in every quarters. Users averaged eight minutes in the app.
• The app was downloaded by 15 percent of fans in attendance with iPhones.
• There were 20 percent more players in the fourth quarter than the first quarter despite a blowout game.
