Kinguin is not only one of the leading marketplaces for gamers, but also a lead innovator when it comes to constantly exploring and expanding new areas of business within the industry. This includes esports, blockchain technology, developing a decentralised marketplace and launching an ICO. Kinguin will use Ravelin’s [fraud prevention platform](https://www.ravelin.com/ravelinenterprise) to protect buyers and sellers from fraudulent activity and help protect their customers from the growing threat of online fraud. Since [Kinguin](https://www.kinguin.net/) launched in 2013, it has become a leading online marketplace with over 4 million customers. Underpinning this success is a commitment to being a trusted platform.
