Esports betting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Esports betting is the practice of gambling on a video game match.[1][2][3][4] Esports betting can be done before the match starts or during the match. The 3 types of esports betting are; fixed-odds betting, private betting, and skin/loot box betting. Betting games may include; Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, League of Legends and Dota 2. Bets may be placed on such events such as: match winner, tournament winner, final score, odd/evens bets and over/under bets. Esports betting isn't regulated in same way as traditional gambling, thus sometimes underaged individuals end up betting. Esports betting is also substantially more complex than bets on traditional sports.[5]
