CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ePlay Digital Inc. (CSE:EPY) (Frankfurt:2NY2) announces the name and website for the upcoming Core Sports & Entertainment coin. ePlay will deploy the Core token as an in-game digital coin which players can earn and redeem as they engage in a series of game, TV, and film titles. The sports and entertainment coin utilizes the latest innovations in blockchain technology and leverages ePlay’s entire technology platform including advanced Augmented Reality and upcoming sports and entertainment game titles.
“Placing sports and entertainment in the blockchain further decentralizes gaming and content to disrupt how we engage and watch,” says Trevor Doerksen, CEO of ePlay. “The Core Sports & Entertainment coin allows fans and audiences to directly connect with influencers, athletes, charities, and brands.”

“Mobile advertising is accelerating in growth with US$107B in 2017,” says Mark Vella, CEO of Advertiise and Core Advisor. “Brands are looking for more than a logo on a banner or in a stadium, they are looking to reach audiences directly, being part of the Core ecosystem helps Advertiise clients engage with authenticity.”
Core coins versatility as a currency includes in-app purchases, digital items, eSports and gaming for new and existing games. Core can also be used by advertisers, producers, athletes and influencers to purchase product placements, advertising, tickets, fund production and development, enhance social media promotions, and solicit charitable donations.
