We, as gamblers, are also fond in betting in various sports, even eSports, that has its increasing community and popularity from time to time. Considering the biggest Prize pool of the International of DotA2 (that was postponed), people are slowly being fond to gaming (add the fact that the quarantine affected such factor).

Here's a little insights:
So recently, RIOT made VALORANT (https://playvalorant.com)-- a 5v5, first-person shooter game that was a ripoff of CS:GO and has a little touch of Overwatch, what makes it unique is that each characters has it's own ability (Just like DotA) and of course, had it's unique gameplay that each and every team sets could go in millions of possible strategies and outcome. It's beta testing release made so many views from various valorant twitch streamers such as Pokimane  (https://www.twitch.tv/pokimane)and Hiko (https://www.twitch.tv/hiko). Hence, after its release, many had started downloading and playing Valorant, even streamed it through either Twitch or Facebook. Hence, from time to time, its popularity and users are increasing as well.

SOME THOUGHTS
Would you consider in betting in Valorant games? Do you think it would be much popular, as betting in Dota2, in the future?

I also one of the player valorant, now on rank "Platinum 2"

Compared with CSGO, seem like Valorant had a good chance and could be one of the e-sport bettings you should try since the skill and other things was really fun and excited to watch on the game. Since the game still has some bug/glitch some times, so need to do a lot thing for "Riots" but in the future, i believe this game will have some good chance on the competitive game and off-course betting.

I am not so familiar with Valorant yet, only played a little and definitely still a beginner and didn't bet yet. I used to play CSGO a lot and did some betting during the majors. Always tried to focus on LAN games with my favourite teams. In CSGO I usually bet for Keys or Skins later and managed to get 2 knifes when I got really lucky.
Are you betting for Fiat currency or cryptos? With a nice sign up bonus I might give it a try this weekend.

As for me, I haven't heard a single review in this game. Now that the OP has mention this, I gonna try to see if the kids love it. I'm getting this game not for gambling but just for funs. Anyway, unlike any other FPS games, this one has some unique features. OP stated that each character has some unique skills depends on the players which character might suit them well.

https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200604094250/Valorant-ss-scaled.jpg

Probably when it will be available on some crypto gambling website. I just came across a streamer (I think not popular since he has few viewers) on Facebook and the game was really cool seeing those effects from characters but I think if I play with it I may have hard time to discern through it. So far, is there any crypto gambling site that offers them for betting?

c.s go is already on the betting side but i dont know bout valorant yet because the game is new to my ears .

 c.s go is legendary on fps games , no one can beat it because it has a good history but this valorant game has a good twist of the traditional fps game's because of the graphics which is cartoon like and it can easily be favored by millenial gamers  . there was some threads on here before about valorant esports and valorant being involved on sportsbetting   .

It is the first time I hear about a new game like Valorant and it made me curious so I searched a bit and I think it can become one of the top games as soon as the developers fix the few bugs/glitches the game has still.The graphics and ambiance for sure looked better than CSGO and I liked them a lot.I would surely bet once everything is fixed regarding the bugs and can’t wait a game with beautiful graphics to be offered online for betting in almost every casino that supports e-sports betting.

I'm nearing my Immortal rank any time now, but I haven't been grinding much since I'm currently busy with all the workloads and whatnot, and it's really a fun game. Anyway, the game is a potential hit for betting due to its fast-paced action and some quirky gameplay mechanics. If I were to say it, it's like Apex Legends' skills, CS:GO shooting mechanics and Overwatch movement (some of it) were refined and balanced and you have Valorant. It's one of the best in its genre right now and a lot of organizers and big leagues are converging towards the said game which means more money on viewership and more money on sponsors. Also, Riot Games is reaching to its player-base more often than anyone else in the scene right now, so it's not really that hard to see it being added on sportsbooks as an event.

Currently there are only a few pro teams that are proving themselves on the playing field, but more and more tournaments are coming so expect that bookies also have their eye on this.

At first thought after I saw Valorant, it's kinda really counter-strike global offense. But this game is new level compare to Counter Strike.
For sure Valorant have future in betting, Valorant is still starting, just like before on what PUBG did.
I am happy to see Valorant in some sports book, it's really like a counter strike.

Actually, I am still beginner and currently have 6 matches only. At first it is hard to understand especially the agents there who have different abilities. My first agent that I used is sage and of course I didn't know that its role is support in order to sustain the team fight. I already played all of the agents in the practice match and it is really good because it is unique in other games like in CSGO and Call of Duty because there are unique abilities can use there in order to win in matches.

If you will ask me if the Valorant will become a popular where a lot of betting site where adopt it, my answer is yes. It is the current trending game and it is the reason why I downloaded it. Yes it is addicting but I have control of myself because there are things that I needed to do.

Esports is fun to bet with, when you actually know the game and played it first to get higher perspective, before betting because these gives you insight on many things like spotting pro and noob.
Maybe i'll have this a play first before, betting on it and learning from the community which teams are strong, and start from there. The concept is intriguing but i think i've seen games that has those kind of features.

I have started playing Valorant a month ago and I'm pretty much familiar with the game. Though I don't have enough time to play that much now but based on my experience playing the game, I can say that it's really a nice game. I really liked the skills, the animation, and it's just fun to play as general.

Since I have experienced playing Valorant myself, of course, I will consider betting on it if it becomes more popular. It could also be popular as the other games but since it's still new and not everyone has tried it yet, so it might take time.

I'm also a player of this game but for me, it is much easy to aim in Valorant compared to CSGO.

For me, Valorant is much good to play due to its graphics and animation. It is much difficult because it is an improved CS:GO with skills, but the way how it as getting played is just the same like CS. Planting, killing, and strats are still there. Riots really did a good job making this new FPS game. We already saw how RIOT make quality games just like its League of Legends. I think this game will really be put into an Esports online betting sites.

I will but I'm still not familiar with the mechanics of it although I have background and been playing CSGO and other FPS games. This new game became on the trend quickly and I can say that it's one of the most successful newest games.

It will. As long as the organization or management of Valorant will maintain to keep their community and will continue to have tournaments, they're likely to be the same as dota 2.

I see this game launched few months ago I never thought that it will be popular easily but now I think some crypto related bookmakers with Esports on their website offers it as well never thought that they already have a tournament or competitions.

Any betting site will surely include valorant tournaments in their betting sites since Valorant grows fast and pro teams are forming up and there are some CSGO pro players who switched into Valorant because of its hit and potential to be a mainstream FPS game.

https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/valorant-still-cs-go-pros-move-onto-hot-new-shooter-riot

I am also a Valorant player who tries to stream sometimes and I can't really take it seriously today because of my schedule but the graphics that good and the competitiveness can bring it into the mainstream. I bet on different e-sports games such as Dota 2 and  CSGO so I would really consider betting on this since I am playing it also.

Didn't hear about valorant before (probably because I don't get enough time to play games now  :( ) until now. Does look like csgo (i used to be a huge csgo fan back then. Would love to play again!) but a bit more childish lol. But all those skills and stuffs looks really interesting.
CSGO had a huge betting community. Not sure if they still exist or not, cause the last time I heard steam was banning all those bots that were used for trading goods and placing bets. If valorant does go huge and professional games are played regularly, betting will be inevitable!

I've bet on different esports at some point so i'll most likely end up betting on Valorant in the future once the odds providers starts offering markets to the sportsbooks I regularly use because right now it's only available to sites that are heavily offering esports odds (like ggbet/lootbet) and I really don't want to move my funds just to try it out.

Valorant could become popular in the betting side once there are regular tournaments or regional leagues similar to what we see in League of Legends (LCK, LCS, LEC, LPL).

Im also a CS:GO player and that was long time ago.I did make or tend to try those trendy games like overwatch, apex legends or even that steam paladins game which majority are just on same mechanics.
They do really differ in theme and actions but all of them are just the same when it comes to motive and goal.I havent tested out yet with valorant and same as yours i dont have much
that vacant time to spend to test out some games due to my day job but i do see that this game is getting much attention gradually and yes, if this one becomes big then
there's no doubt that it will really be available in most bookies.There are actually do offer bets on this game; https://loot.bet/valorant

There's a lot of First person shooter now, before it was counter strike now it's valorant I tried to check out the gameplay of it and it's a combination of skills and shooting games nowadays have a great features wonder if i could play it it's pretty popular i've seen some bookmakers adding this game on their line up.

Counterstrike been too popular before and even now it have a high appeal in many generations and many still plays it up to now, valorant may not have the same impact as CSGO brings it still have some possibilities that it will be popular in betting world. It can still influence many counterstrike lovers to try it as well to bet in it if there will be players that can make it popular and can give a good show as well a good marketing for the event otlr tournament.

Valorant is actually pretty fun, especially with the novelty it provided compared to how cs:go and overwatch brought out their styles. Its diverse usage of each character makes each game a lot less boring, and there are some insane strategies out there that are pretty bs, but nonetheless fun to use. You need the aim from cs:go, as well as the brains to use each ability like in overwatch, though it still highly depends mostly on player skill. Ofc, I would naturally bet in Valorant, but for it to exceed Dota 2? I doubt so. Dota 2 has a lot of fans, and it wouldn't really be weird that the only way to exceed Dota 2 is IF Dota 2 leaves the scene, permanently. 

As for betting, no worries about that OP, even ESports groups have been making official teams already, as well as getting some pros out of retirement from cs:go into the valorant pro scene. Heck, afaik, someone already got poached from a cs:go team to a valorant team, I just forgot specifically who.

im not a counter strike player but i love this game valorant . there are also teen players that dont grow up with c.s but loves to try and play many games especially if the game has a good appeal like this one . marketing plays a major role for making the game popular , like the past games and apps that we see on the store  .  thats because its easy to promote now on many known platforms as long as you have a good budget .

Valorant is awesome, I've switched from CSGO to valorant completely.
I'm platinum 2 right now, it is hard to get a higher rank without proper team.
I'm betting from time to time on thunderpick - they have live betting on valorant + accept crypto.

I don't think some E-sport pro teams are already willing to create their own teams with regards to Valorant since we can see certain players from CS:GO taking over the Valorant Scene even though they are still a pro in CS. Maybe after a year since most notable players are still not given the opportunity to present their talent within some public lobbies even though we can see some significant plays. Roles are always important and that was not presented in the video since it only shows the superhuman reactions of some players.

I have already read of some thread here in the forum about Fortnite betting which is another E-Sport that share the same concept with Valorant so I think that it could be possible in the future that betting in E-Sports would be pretty much popular just like the traditional sports that we do know. I have already been playing Valorant this days and I do really have a fun and enjoyable gaming experience and the intensity would be added once betting would be linked into the gaming proper.

The answer to the question if I would consider betting with Valorant, yes of course. You were like hitting two birds on one stone for enjoyment and the possibility of winning the bet is at stake. I would surely enjoy and love betting on E-Sports more likely just what like I have when I am betting on traditional sport events.

I am not familiar with this game but as I have read through the internet with a quick search it seems like this game is like a counterstrike where terrorist need to plant the bomb and defend it while the other team will going to detonate the bomb planted. It seems like this one is strategic game and of course esports betting for this will be welcme. As we all know that esports betting are always open to new betting games that will likely to gather and get more audience to the betting platform. You can check some esports betting platform and see other betting games too.

I've downloaded the game a few days back and what I can say is that gameplay is like a combined gameplay of CS:GO and Overwatch although it still has it distinct uniqueness that I enjoy. I would definitely consider betting on it. but right now I don't see myself doing it since I have no idea what team there is or what their stats is(if there already is) and I'm still figuring out the game on its own even though I already have a firm grasp of its basic gameplay.

well, when you have downloaded the game, you can also assess the tournament players, which you can see on YouTube and so on, make the game that you downloaded to try the game and see the level of difficulty to do it so you will know the players how the people who compete in the championship play and you can place bets because you will know which team is the best.

Aren't all games especially those that require team strategies and tactics do often end up being supported in a lot of gambling platforms and even being gambled offline? That's the power of esports and its community. As it grows, the gamblers often tend to go with the hype as well. As the community of eSports grow larger, the betting prize do grow as well, especially with the billions of prize pool in DotA tournament alone.

Valorant soon will be defeating the prizepool of CSGO, with the fact that some CSGO are enjoying playing Valorant.

Is that high? Like global elite? :D


It's more flashy than CS for sure. More appealing to younger audience.

I find it like buildt for corner camping. There's so many camp spots and maps are built a bit like tight mazes with a lot of hallways.
 
It's not bad overall might play some more if I had more free time.

It is possible, I've been playing valorant for a month now, I may not be that good in playing but I think it will be successful. Its like a CS GO but you will never be tired of playing it because of the different characters and skills you can play with. Its unpredictable too, you have to be a good fps player but you have to be cautious with all the character skills too. It really has depth of playing and I think it can be successful to gamble on.

Its a new game so there should be changes happening in the coming months for it to be better. New maps and heroes are exciting too. Twitch streamers are into valorant now, it means they love the game. It REALLY has a great potential.

The hype in esports is really in Valorant right now, I am not just 100% sure about it, but most of the esports page in our country Philippines, is conducting numerous tournaments in Valorant.

I just want to share, I am currently Gold 2 and previous Plat 2 last season, and I really enjoy playing this game in a point that I bought in game gun skins, and even merchs such as tshirt.

Going back, if there will be esports betting in valorant, it would be nice to not just bet but also become a participant of the matches. I hope I could improve my aiming but sadly, I think there's no hope.   :-\

There are a lot of first person shooter games and for me Valorant is one of the bests. But I still prefer Call of duty because it is one of the best childhood games at all times. If you will ask me which one I would prefer I will chose Call of Duty because it has the better graphics and the population of the players who plays Call of Duty are greater than Valorant gamer.s

Valorant is one of the mainstream online FPS games that is being played by many gamers.
https://i.imgur.com/QqZcogg.png

As you can see on FB.GG or facebook gaming that Valorant is one of the most played games by many streamers.

Meanwhile in twitch.tv, Valorant is also the most played game.
https://i.imgur.com/N9E1ZHh.png

I've been playing valorant for how many months and I really see a potential in this online game. A lot of tournaments happened in each country and I assure you that the world championship of Valorant will have the same viewership to Dota2 and LoL. Since my genre of online game is FPS, I already managed to climb on higher elo with my aiming skills, always playing in the whole day because it's so interesting.

I watched valorant gameplay on Youtube live as well and it looks like combination of other existing games with better gaming experience.Probably it could be one of the major game on esport games but in my opinion mobile games will attract more users than PC games nowadays because game specs getting increased so the requirement as well whereas smartphones are getting cheaper and everyone starts to hold high end devices in 2020.

Let me first answer this question about the popularity of Valorant compared to Dota 2.

When Valorant first released, more than 3 million players have played the closed beta¹ as compared to CSGO's closed beta to only 45,000 players. Of course, taking into consideration that Valve released only limited number of beta keys, we still have to appreciate the fact that Valorant took everyone by storm.

About its player count, reportedly, CSGO has lost more than 500,000 of its players ever since Valorant was released.² Even with the recent release of CSGO's Shattered Web Collection which also increased its player count, it still lost when Valorant was released on the platform.

Valorant Betting in the E-Sports Platform

Now let us talk about betting. Since we have established that Valorant has been dominating the FPS platform and more and more CSGO professional players have been switching to Valorant, what could be the possible future for its E-SPORTS betting?

According to the chart below³, the viewership in Valorant on Twitch has been decreasing over the past months ever since the game was released. Although this has been the case, it still ranks to #9 on the viewership count in Twitch. So the potential of the game getting bigger on the next few months will most likely happen and E-SPORTS betting will soon be considered.

My personal thoughts on the future of Valorant and its potential betting platform

The game has been out for a couple of months now and its popularity has been dominating the FPS platform. It is a new game which introduced several mechanics and shooting fundamentals in CSGO with an introduction of "abilities and powers" which gave the game a completely fresh experience to old CSGO players and to new players as well in the FPS scene.

I highly believe that betting in Valorant will soon materialize and become popular as the time passes by given that its competitive scene grows every day as Riot tries its best to reach out to these teams.

[3] https://twitchtracker.com/games/516575

This might be true, Mobile games today are really good and some people preffer playing mobile games because of the lack of access on a PC. There is so much factors why some people are attracted on mobile games over PC games. Some big games are converted into mobile games like PUBG and COD that is reigning on mobile game platforms. This might happen into valorant if the developers want it to happen but as of now, PC gaming is their focus. People love competitiveness and valorant have it, No wonder if valorant became a mainstream game for everyone who love FPS.

I think it's because the developers already know they have to be able to spread their wings to always improve quality and attract new players and keep old players still playing this game because if there is no development like that it will make them bored and won't play the game that again, it is even better if it is developed by guessing the competition by adding functions such as gambling with coins in the game.

I played CS for years when I was younger, can't remember the first version 1.5 (or something like that). I am playing LoL for 3 seasons already, and I really enjoy playing it. And now we have Valorant, combination of cs and lol, interesting I can say. I started installation, I will definitely try this one!
From time to time I watch some pro LoL games, I like to see how pro's are playing, but I don't bet on them. But do you know what would be really interesting for me? Are you aware of Bitcoin talk poker series https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5271735.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5271735.0)? Can we find time and players, and we to play League of Legends or Valorant? To make some series with some buy in, or we don't need to start with series right away, we can try to organize some games and to see how will it go? With some small buy in, in the beginning, winners take it all! Can we do something like that, or at least try?

Not much games are concentrating on esports, they are just happy with the player's income only few games are getting them into the next level by competitive leagues all over the world, different characters with different special powers and more realistic gameplay experience which needs real skills to win it.

Yes, why not. I am into esports and I know how good valorant is. It would be much popular as dota 2 only if it met the satisfaction it gives to dota 2 players/bettors. Because as you have said, it is the same as csgo with a little twist just like overwatch, it means that the possible players/bettors might be coming from these popular games.

It should be organized by known esports organizers to get players as well to get sponsors. Some may not take it seriously if it's not organized as well plan by those we are used in doing these events as the money will be hard to put into just anyone. Hopefully once there's a organizational  who will start it valorant will be more popular in esports betting.

I haven't heard of this game yet. I have been playing first person shooting game like crossfire, Pubg, ros, and many more for quite some time but this game called valorant I haven't heard at all. Did anyone bet on it alreadt like CS:GO?. As previous post mentioned that esports are not much into betting.

No Joke! if it becomes like Dota 2, its whole market will flourish because we can see how Dota 2 gained some support from their event every year. Now that their Dota 2 Battle Pass is about to end the world competition will come and you can see how this game became so popular because one of the reasons is almost every country in the world knows this game and everyone has their own unique skills on how to counter their opponent. I hope Valorant has this kind of popularity in the future and players all around the world will be gathered for their international competition.

It's been sometime since the game was out and we don't need to argue that it really pique the interest of the players from other FPS like CSGO and Fortnite, but as time passes, players are now noticing these weapons, characters and strats that is OP within the game. They needed to fix these since it might affect the players and would affect bettings too, also, it would take some time before it even go toe to toe with dota 2. Dota 2 is breaking records when it comes to prize pots, that would interest more players into the game also means more active bettors.

This game will really hit big in the coming years, I've been playing dota 2 and lol. But I am never addicted to fps games. My aim is not really good and I can't really enjoy fps, but then I tried to play this one and got really addicted to it. I like how the gameplays work. Different characters and skills is the bomb here, I can find and do something valuable for the team cause I ain't good in shooting. I can't really rely on my aiming skills only, so the skills and the different chacters here treally makes the game really entertaining for me.

There's a possibility that there will also be a draft picking in Valorant, the only problem that prevents this is the lack of characters we have to choose from. I have played the game quite allot now and I am enjoying it. It was really a good game but quite easier compared to CSGO. I can say, the future of ESPORT betting will include Valorant as the hype is still building up. In addition, I often see Valorant tournaments in social media and I even join one.

Valorant, it's something new first person shooter right? Well honestly I don't have trust on new launched game maybe a year after since mostly new launched games still have some problems, glitches, bugs or something like that maybe a year after or some months after good updates I could consider betting on it. It's great to see E-sports getting bigger and bigger having a lot of tournaments lately really boost the E-sports.

Valorant has been a beta game for like a month, there are plenty of players international that was invited to play the game produced by Riot Games. I can agree that there are still bugs and glitches but that will be paved through the days, the game itself cannot detect the bugs, actually every game has a hidden bug that is waiting to be discovered. I'm playing Valorant since it was released and I can say that the game will take over the CS:GO in the long run.

  Indeed, in fact there are speculations that it should be in the olympic games  :o

Change your perspective in games, the developers of Valorant is riot games and the mother company is Tencent games. The game developers are implementing alpha test or beta test for the players to the test the game, before they released the game, some bugs and glitches are already fixed, the only errors left are just minimal due to updates of the game.

Many tournaments are being organized since the launch and many pro players tested it already. So it means that it's already worthy to bet on this kind of FPS game.

Valorant looks pretty cool, I never played it but watching some streamers playing on twitch. First I thought this game would not gonna last, but now I changed my mind. This could really be a big thing in the future. So far my I am still only betting on CSGO and some Dota2. Is anyone actually succesffully betting on valorant on here? I saw there are already plenty of pro teams.

i didnt knew that riot and tencent games are under the same roof . i am familiar with both gaming companies and thier games are really exeptional and they can easily gather new and old players because players recognized them all over the world  . not just their games but almost every game are undergoing on various test before they deploy the original version of the game on our favorite stores and even on the final released we can still experiences some bugs and other issues but they are always willing to fix that  .

I only play New launched games if there are a free bets or something promotional because it is better to try and test without losses
than spend money for nothing at all since we cannot proof the fairness of the game.
SAme here though i have read this game somewhere but never tried playing it,i believe that this was being advertised
 in faceBook if i am not mistaken .

I tried to play Valorant and I enjoyed it because it reminds me my childhood favorite game which is counter strike, special force and cross fire but still somehow if we were compare Valorant with Call of Duty, I will chose Call of Duty even if it has a limited maps to play because it's graphics are great rather than Valorant.

I've been seeing this to sports betting website on their E-sports section I thought it was some kind of common game I tried to watch a preview of this game it's interesting a shooting game and using skills it's a little bit complicated for me but seems a lot of players they have lately and that's why they were included on the E-sports section of some Sports betting website I'm playing.

Its a mix up of CS:GO and Overwatch completely if you havent tried to play Overwatch then you would need to for you to tell that this is a combination between both games.

I didnt expect for it to shoot up when it comes to popularity.Valorant do have the same developer on the game League of Legends and they do able to get the attention of some pro esport gamers that

why we do see that it had been adapted directly and included into some famous typical e-sports betting sites.There are a few crypto based ones that do offer line for this game too.
Complicated if you havent able to experience to play those shooter genre type of games and this doesnt only talk about typical shooting yet this would really be requiring some good

shooting precision skills just like on what you do need on CS:GO too.This had a little bit mixed with some features and skills which makes the game even more exciting.

Seems like Valorant is gaining market and players in my country but i am the last to know it   ;D.

I had no time to scroll new games these past months as i am very busy finding income since the pandemic .

So this is like a Counter strike in the past?

Watching the videos now in youtube looks this is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KItFye1qKD8 like the same games we use to play.

I'm a new player on the game valorant I just want to explore some first-person shooting game aside on counter strike global offense.

On the e-sports betting platform most of the time I saw csgo, dota, lol, and overwatch, and right now is the valorant thanks for this information. I think soon they will gather up some players and team that will support this game as a 5v5 tournament still this is a new game and also many players could enjoy this it's not too much on the specification requires so many people will enjoy this.

Try it! It's a bit complicated at first because of the skills but you'll get used to it in less than 10 games. If I will compare it to cs go and other fps games, I will pick this one because of the skills and heroes. You have to pick your role and of course do your role cause it will cause you the game. It's fun to play with friends, so much tactics to remember and you're not just aiming like we used to on other fps games. It feels like a dota 2 and counter strike merge into one.

Nowadays, the popularity of esports is increasing, including the valorant that is being played by the esports community.
So I was not surprised to find out that on sports betting websites on their esport section, there is already a Valorant Betting
option. Even though I've never tried playing valorant, at least I'm still following news regarding the game of valorant.
So several times I tried Valorant Betting too.

   Sasha80 Valorant is becoming popular, it's more watched in last month than League of Legends and other games, and
its popularity is rising. I didn't make any bets, but I watched games, seems like Counter Strike, but with more lively
colours, and it looks faster than League of Legends and Counter Strike. I am too old with slow reflects to play this game,
but I will make bets because I like to watch e-sports games.

Honestly I don't like this game, because it doesn't look like a real battlefield game like COD or PUBG. I played pubg pc but only the noob level game olay from my side.Watched lot of my favourite streamers doing valorant streaming and it looks like a kid game to me.

Developers had made it right, it is really a game to play in a new era.
But when it comes into betting, I'm not sure if it gets more bettors and I know that only a few online or even offline players know it unlike the ROS and the old Counter-strike which I truly enjoyed it playing with friends and do betting.

Hardly doubt that only a few actually know of it. Anyone who actually played CS:GO would be plenty knowledgable about this game, especially since the developers of this game were oldies in terms of gaming and developing CS:GO itself, plus, it has already made quite a scene in the e-sports world, so you can actually be rest assured that betting would actually grow with it side by side. As for how long, I doubt it'd take that much tbh.

Well it is somehow fantasy like since characters have special abilities, unlike battlefield type games such as cs:go and the ones you said where every throwable can be bought by anyone, which gives it more strategic aspects, not that Valorant has none ofc, just that it's more specialized since each player can only choose one unique type of character per game.

Ohh, I see. I still yet to used to that game for that I need to experience it on myself I guess because only few streamers are doing it as fulk stream while all others are doing it only for few minutes since they are trying different games in regular basis.

they streamers try the game because they do have money that is not being used much so they dare to do the gambling because they will get their money back from the advertising they get from them, so still be careful when using the money you have.

I really love the game Valorant which why I do enjoy playing it together with my friends. Seems like the same concept with Call of Duty (COD), Players Unknown Battle Ground (PUBG) which are the real deal games before Valorant's existence. Actually all of those games are really great and considerably great to be played with. I have not played Valorant based on betting with other people only with my friends but those were not a decent bet to think for that is just for fun. But if ever, I would take a chance to bet on playing it for somehow I am getting used on having confidence on my playing skills on this game making me up to play and bet on it.

I am not going to use money to buy stuffs inside a game and literally they are useless spending for outfits like things.Just try the game and just leave it there, if you are going to make a career out of it then its worth investing money but it may take longer time to get succeed and also success rate is too low.

I am getting more and more into valorant myself. Its a great interactive game with a lot of features compared to old school games like CSGO. Still working on understanding the competitive scene of valorant. Getting into betting would be the next step for me. I missed the hole fortnite hype so valorant will be my first game I betting on after CSGO, LoL and dota. Any pretty safe bet recommendations for new gamblers here?

I'm a gamer and sometimes I spend money on games because I enjoy it and a support to the developers for maintaining the game well. Spending stuffs isn't that bad and it is not applicable only for those who are making careers on the game. Those ingame stuffs are made for us especially the real gamers out there who are enjoying such game like this.

The teams I'm looking forward are C9 with TenZ, watch his gameplay, he's so pro and good at 1 taps. Also TSM, Gen.G and G2, there are plenty of good teams in the valorant scene. Try to watch some tournaments, you'll notice that they're always on the top.

I just heard about this game, it looks promising and exciting since a game like this are getting more attentions nowadays. Now I’m curious about this game and will try to look for more information about it. Anyway, a 5v5 game is really fun and I missed playing Dota, if betting will be available I’m sure Valorant player have to bet on this and play the game at the same time.

The graphics of Valorant is great but I find it more realistic on COD and PUBG, well these are almost the same game with the same purpose, to kill the enemy.

Anyway, I didn’t play that much on these games tried it once but my computer can’t handle it and its hard to use the phone honestly. Valorant is not that popular in my place, maybe in time so I don’t see any betting site yet for Valorant.

The graphic is great, but Valorant is not the game for me. I played CS a lot, after some break I started playing LoL, it's a game that I like to play. At first, I expected much more from Valorant, but after playing that intro and few games I think I will continue to play League of Legends, it's much better game in my opinion.
I like to bet on what I play and on what I have some knowledge and, from all the e-sports out there I am only in LoL, and I feel there will be no changes on this field for some time, I gave chance to valorant, but it's not for me definitly.

I'm not a huge fan of this game nor played it a lot. I happen to see this game as often as whenever I check some stuff with my SocMed accounts though (a lot of my friends became a streamer of this game  :D). And so, with no doubts, this game's popularity could reach somewhat close to Dota2, and as for betting? Not really sure though, but if I were to guess, then sure it can, it is just that this game is still new (atl east to me) compared to Dota2  :P.

Everyone loves to play games but we can't call ourselves as gamer if we don't have some earnings out of the games we are playing like the competitive tournament player or the streamer but someone who just want to play and that's it has no real reason to spend but if you likes to do then there is nothing wrong with it but that's my opinion.But having pirated version of the games is not tolerated and should never be.

We are all allowed to play games and do some betting to earn money but some of us loves to play only and not used to do betting. If even if some of are just playing it doesn't mean that they aren't a professional gamer or a gamer be like, it's just that not all of us wants to play betting because it is way to addictive.

Some time ago I created a discussion on a popular group about csgo and most of me laughed when I talked about Valorat. The CS community is a lightweight ingorant.

In my opinion Valorant has potential but it doesn't have to be a success like APEX. Will it replace csgo ? Not really, but who knows. Old generations are dying out and young people are looking for freshness.
Frankly speaking, as a 1.6 fan I get bored watching the same maps all the time. What is a great advantage of CSGO, however, is the fact that it is a brilliant game in its simplicity and for sure the skill level will be above average for a long time.

 

the general definition of gamer is you don't have to be earning from the game you play or to be a competitive player/streamer to be considered as a gamer. just putting effort to the games you play is enough to call yourself a gamer. but then again there are people who think that to be called a "gamer" you have to invest so much time, money, experience to be considered as a gamer which I think is full of BS.

Old school never dies, there's still people who still prefer to play CSGO and its there choice, just like today that we have a lot of option and yet CSGO is still on the go and running well. Valorant is new into my ears but since they are almost the same with other games, I'm sure I can easily understand this game. I'm also looking forward to play this game, not now since I'm still learning how this thing works but hopefully Valorant can give me the best reason why I need to play this game, betting is a great option too aside from playing.

when you learn the game you are already playing the game not unless you learn the game by reading its manual or by watching videos but thats hard without expriencing the real thing and in the end you will still end up trying the game .

you said you didnt grasp the game yet  . betting can be your stepping stone   . when you watch the game live , you will have this kind of enjoyment and that can lead you to install and try the game itself  . this will also make your self familiarize if what are the players doing and if what are the shout casters are saying

No one is going to call us driver just because we know how to drive a car and no one is going to call as chef just because we know how to cook foods so it all depends on the profession terms so I just said gamer also should be used in that way.

You can probably find good and high courses, which is becoming increasingly difficult for csgo. But valorant is a different game. In theory it's similar but more important to employ games than precisely developed tactics. I am not convinced.

Valorant in my opinion is closer to Overwatch or Heroes of the Storm than CS:GO. I do find courses that is focused on playing a game on a skill level that is professional a bit scummy because you can easily learn by yourself by playing the game and analyzing every game and look for spots to improve.

Valorant is still a fledgling when it comes to betting and tournaments so I do find this as an opportunity for betting sites to increase their options on where to bet at.

One of the most Popular PC game now,almost everyone i knew who play games has this installed to their computers and playing against each team time after time.

I can't cope up with the game because i am a slow learner and harder to watch in High definition games.

But this is one good source of money from expert gamers, even from other country are playing this against other country like the popularization of DOTA back days.

I am not familiar with Valorant but I already heard this game before and I know how trend this game is, I have a friend who used to play League of legends 5 hours a day before but he is now active in Valorant and keep on inviting me to try that kind of game but always being ignored because of being busy. I know that this game will create a good history in the future and I can see that it would have a world tournament someday just like other online games.

I think it's not yet quite popular on some bookies from this forum I tried to look each one of them and most of they offer is just Counter Strike. or maybe I just missed it if someone knows any bookie that comes from forum please share it here

I am familiar with CS:GO so I guess they are not that far from each other but aside from 5v5 feature, what are the features that we can say a good advantage of VALORANT compare to CS:GO as they will not become popular if they are just a copycat of CS:GO as CS:GO already has plenty of users and was around for a decent amount of years already.

If they can bring something that can hype their game to get the attention of the gamers then the gamblers will surely to follow as many casino owners will surely to add the game if it is getting popular as days passes by. I've seen an agent feature in their site but I wonder if how it will create an impact to the players.

Already there was a thread related to the subject yoh are talking about in Bitcointalk : Potential Valorant Esports betting sites (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5258593.0)

---

Valorant is kind of mixed CSGO and Pubg with special skills to each character which is attracting more attention among the streamers but yet to become main esport game in this category in the crypto betting sites.

GG.bet or Loot.bet

These are old e-sport bookies but for sure they do have valorant lines for you to make bets and knowing that they are now accepting Bitcoin and other crypto
then that would be a good option or chance for people to make out some bets with Valorant.

About the game then its like CS:GO with some sort mix of Overwatch.I don't know why people saying this is mixed with other games.

In addition to what Lanatsa suggested nitrogensports are also offering lines for Valorant now that they're using the same odds provider ultraplay which focuses more on esports compared to the popular bookies like stake and sportsbet that uses sportsradar.

It's already popular but on the competitive side of things not so much since there's no seasonal league or tournaments unlike dota, csgo and league.

Everytime there will be an online game where you can play against other people, sooner or later you're bound to encounter a betting site that sets a tournament for that particular game, now moat of the time it is in the form of a fantasy draft but in the case of these three sites he showed us I'd say, it's pretty novel the odds are completely based on your skills basically and it is a prize pool typr just like lotteries. Valorant has some defining features that sets it from the rest of the FPS titles we knew and loved. Let me list you some of them.
1. Character Abilities, the characters you pick each have 3 regular skills and an ultimate ability that you will use to tip the scales of the game in your favor.
2. Since there are abilities, there will be classes for each "Agent" as what they are called in the game. Duelists, Blockers, Bastions (Healer and zone securers) etc.
3. More and more characters are released every season which spices the meta and the whole game itself up.
4. You don't get to choose the map. This may sound bad at first but you'll find the map rotation more enjoyable compared to playing 600 games of dust_2 on CS:GO

Maybe it will not be popular now, but who knows, that game will get its fan from time to time. I do not know about Valorant either, and I do not play Counter Strike too, but knowing that a game can be used for betting will be good for the gamblers because they will have more game options gamble.

I see on the thread about the site to betting valorant, but it seems the site is an error and not online again. But I think if people want to make a bet, they can follow what @Lanatsa said about loot.bet because I can see on that site, valorant game is available.

Playing while betting can still be possible since it would really boost your knowledge about the game then you can see whether the play style of different teams would be par up to one another. Some of the players are ex-CS:GO pro's so they really had the advantage transitioning into another FPS game. Valorant would still require the same aiming skills you have in CS:GO but another skill is needed in using the skills of different characters in Valorant.

I think online game courses teach you the game you play in a more technical manner of the game which I think a lot of gamer miss. but yeah, the idea of online game courses does sound a bit scummy but it still has its merits and does actually help those who are struggling to improve on the game they play.


Valorant is still early in the Esport world and still building its fan base. so it is understandable that most bookies aren't putting on their platform if there are not enough people who would bet on it. anyway, Lanatsa gave a good platform where to bet on Valorant

it is more of a mixed of CSGO and Overwatch than CSGO and Pubg

I heard of this game, lots of young people and streamers are playing this, since the pandemic, kinda like the game, but I think dota2 is way more popular and there are lots of people betting especially when TI, they may be just second place as dota2 is still and will stay at the top.

I believe that is not only youngsters mate because almost half of my friends are playing this while i am stuck Playing ML and Clash of Clans lol.

Even in Office some of my Mates are having this in their Gaming Laptops and PC's so i thing that the majority of Gamers now really love the concept of this famous game.

Though the Game requires very High Specification of Unit to play this in good condition or else suffer with crashing all the time if your PC is low end.

That good sign though but I never experienced the gameplay of valorant and also not kind of esport bettor so I don't really get excited to bet on Esport games and leagues.

---

I never played the game personally just only observed it from few online streams but thank you for the info.

You have to consider that Dota 2 and Valorant are different games with their unique mechanics- the former being a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) and the latter being an FPS (First-person Shooter). If you were to compare Valorant, the better candidate would be CSGO.

The fame of Dota 2 started when Dota 1 was released way back in 2003, which puts them at the edge on any competitive MOBA out there. It is like comparing apples and oranges as they are entirely different living in a distinct world. Well regardless, Valorant has becoming more popular as its competitive scene has been steadily increasing due to some CSGO professional players migrating.

Valorant was just released June 2 on this year which i definitely agree that you cant make out some comparison among the two not only on the type of game they are but also into the
time that they had been existing.Dota 1 - Dota 2 is already a very old and much been supported MOBA type of game which it did able to generate $40M prizepool which it cant
really be achieved by any other e-sport tournament out there which does signify on how big it is.

Valorant is just new and we do give them some time for them to progress and since there are people whom do play nor support it then we might see this to be in line with CS:GO popularity.
There are already various website or bookies that do offer valorant betting which had already been mentioned.

Well, Valorant got into the competitive scene faster than Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm. Valorant catered most players that liked both of those games since it would require you to play certain characters that would have different set of skills but its more static. Overwatch is too dynamic and maybe that's why it has not made a popular scene in the gambling business.

The whole 2020 deal has thrown into chaos the usual cycle to CS, maybe the largest teams continue fine (many with long term sponsors) are ok but the lower rank players, teams and games that lead into the bigger games have been disrupted badly.   Perhaps Valorant can capitalise on that to make a better entry then they might have in most years.     CS works as a bettable game, bomb goes boom and 1 team wins there nothing too involved and highly accessible and I mention CS because every week I hear another big CS pro name has moved across to Valorant and they may be people looking for teams perhaps not in their peak years but the player recognition and the simple bomb dynamic makes the success of Valorant from a betting POV highly likely imo.

I believe to this idea. Oberwatch and Heroes of Storm are games that came first before Valorant but not that good to played by others like what Valorant is doing right now. Valorant accomodate a lot of players and new users because of its graphics and the fact that it is completely the upgraded of the one of the good old days games, Counter Strike. And I know that as year passed by, developers think of the things or twist of games. In just a year of Valorant in the game business is that it developed pro players and started its own tournament, a internartionala 5v5 FPS Tournament. I think Valorant is one of the betting game that I will play in because I know a lot about Valorant and team that playing it.  I might able to determine easy the winner because it is not jist a 5v5 fps game but strategy game that you can read.

I, too, played Valorant and compared with CSGO, well the graphics and skills are to be compared, what I really can think of its highly competitive  is APEX LEGENDS.but the thing is Valorant is way more addictive than APEX and so many wants to play and so does with bets.
So it really goes off the line when it comes to gameplays and other as such.

I hate Valorant for being too cartoonish and it seems that developers have done it just for money. And yeah, it's not so popular as CSGO and Fortnite, so betting will be a little harder (less choices for that) and of course less available (less books have Valorant at their services).

Instead, to play on Valorant, which I do not understand how to play, I guess that I can play the usual gambling games that I already play. But Valorant can give the new experience to gamble on different gambling games. I think there will be many more new gambling games such as Valorant in the future, especially if the crypto gambling games can grow more than now.

How about playing DOTA? Did you feel that game is interesting to play? I don't understand how to play the strategy games, but I already play Warcraft and Mobile Legend, making me feel it's too hard to increase the rank.

you mean the graphics ? but valorant isnt too far from the graphics of fortnite which is also cartoonish too unlike to csgo that its more realistic and foccus on real life characters ( terorsit and swats ) . csgo is more in favor of adults but both fortnite and valorant is good looking in the eyes of both teens/kids and adults . you dont need to blame the dev but its the gambling operator that push the betting of this game . valorant is newer than csgo and fortnite afaik , thats why its not that famous but it can break thru in the future .

can't  blame you, but compared to fortnite its way much better haha, that's  really for kids IMO. And besides the gameplay of Valorant are quite alike with APEX LEGENDS and that's  why I came to like the game even though the graphics is errr....

Yep,so true.

Does anybody know how valorant is performing against the other big games like Dota! Lol or CSGO. Its been a few months now that valorant is being played competitively. I am curious if the betting market in CSGO actually suffered through this new game. It might be hard to find public data for that as many bookkeepers guard their data.

Based on my personal opinion, Valorant is better than those mentioned above since it is somehow still new, lesser cheaters are manipulating the game unlike with the other games where cheating is very rampant. I should know this since I mostly play Valorant on my free time.

Valorant will become big next year, the recent tournament implemented by Riot which is First Strike was really mainstream in social media. Now, they've announced the sequence of tournaments before the world championship, it seems that they're really preparing for it well. Most of the players right now play Valorant, as you can see in any streaming platforms, Valorant has a lot of streamers compare to the other games. Some of the CS:GO pros are now shifting to valorant, a sign that Valorant is a good game. 

Another thing is, less cheaters, anyone can enjoy the game without worrying about those players who uses aimbots. There are recent issues about cheaters but I'm pretty sure that it's being handled. We should have faith in Riot since LoL is also successful, I think they can make it look like LoL.

Never faced such a game before. First reading about her here, I was intrigued by her. I registered and now I will try to play. The characters are a bit like cartoon characters, but I even liked it. Now in my free time, I will figure out what's what.

I have been off online games for a few years now and only watches few videos from time to time. I warched a few Valorant games and find it interesting it is almost similar with the first online shooting game I played where characters have different skills and specialization which is Paladins. I think Valorant will be as popular as Dota, LOL or CS:GO since video games nowadays are more exposed compared how it was before due to online streaming.

this looks like a new kind of fps game, was this being offered in any esports betting bookie that came from this forum? it looks like most of them are into dota 2 and counter strike i've been seeing a lot of this game lately no doubt soon they will add it.

I think not, it's just that we've seen a huge number of people taking Valorant's gameplay, and I think CSGO is still the no. 1 FPS game that has been credited to gambling.

LoL is also popular in online gambling for esports category and since Valorant and LoL have the same developer I think there will be esports tournament for their fps next year.
Valorant is still new yet it already attract many players that play fps professionally like TenZ who also play CSGO before.
I like the game myself because it has new mechanics than ordinary fps where you just need to shoot and kill.

it is understandable that bookies still aren't putting it on their platform since it is still early in the Esport world(like I have said before in my previous post) but if the game fan base of its competitive tournament continues to increase. so yeah, it'll just be a matter of time before we see it on more sports betting platforms

anyway, if your interested Lanasta gave 2 bookies that offer betting odds for Valorant (check the quoted post below)


here's an official announcement from Riot games about their 2021 Valorant champions tour(link below)
https://playvalorant.com/en-us/news/esports/announcing-the-2021-valorant-champions-tour/

The gameplay is a matter of preference but the cartoonish design was intended to avoid being too realistic compared to CSGO's play style. Though most of the movements and skills are the same in CSGO, there is still a learning curve that you need to master in terms of the agents respective abilities.

Betting in valorant is growing and more players from CSGO are shifting towards this new game. As someone who played CSGO for more than 5 years, the fresh game style that Valorant offered definitely tickled my interest.

That is indeed true. This would be a matter of preference since we all have different interests.
Valorant betting is currently rising although not much bookies are including it since it is still new.
Nevertheless, I see that Valorant can be another big thing in the ESports sector in this coming times.

But just why APEX didn't  have this kind of exposure on Gambling? I mean, you know it has almost the same Gameplay and almost the same tasks in game... Or is it just Valorant is eco and user friendly? Easy to play and understand?

We all know that Valorant is one of the most epic and played game today. Valorant is a fps shooting game that resemble to the game Counter Strike. The only difference is that the champions or characters have thei own unique skills and profession. Personally, I am hooked in this game because of the quite enjoying vibes of it. And as well as the Valorant, I am also aware of the game APEX Legends. I also played this game with my counsins and friends and jsut like you I also want to ask why isn't that no kind of gambling games or tournament about it. Unlike the games like Dota 2, League of Legends, Valorant, and etc. I guess I will more likely to bet to play in APEX Legends because I find it so enjoying to play actually.

Hmm, I think Apex Legends should be categorized under the games like PUBG and Fortnite as such games are what you call battle-royale games. Unlike those games, Valorant offers a relatively-easier game style due to its face-paced combat. In addition, the gameplay is your typical first-person shooter game that follows a round-to-round basis (very similar to CSGO). Lastly, the player count per round is definitely lower compared to APEX, PUBG, and Fortnite where only two teams with 5 player each team participate.

I believe that the interest of Valorant comes from its roots on where such gameplay is inspired- which is CSGO (king of FPS).

Yeah, that's  quite interesting, especially if we know that we also have a growing community on APEX LEGENDS, and a bit lively compared to other fps games.  I wonder why, or is it has somethin to do with the game provider itself? Maybe they don't  want to be part of a Gambling Community


I think, it is only CS... 😂

I remember the good old days when playing counterstrike with my friends, even though it is already forgotten by many gamers it will still be the legendary one and the basis of creating a game like crossfire and this valorant, even though I am not a player of this kind of game, I know that there are so many people who are playing this thing, one thing that makes this game special is that the player has the special skills which can be used to take advantage to the game.

It is somehow the same with the mechanics of Counter-Strike, you just need to win if you are an attacker or a defender, attacker means you need to plant the bomb and avoid the defenders to defuse it. Defender means you need to protect the plant sites and avoid the attackers to plant the bomb. By either team, if your team wiped out, you lose the round.

Going back, Valorant just have a good tweak, the players have special abilities which makes the game complex for a first-person shooting game, it also becomes more interesting to bet as the winning team will not just depend on the skills but on the mind and execution of the skills of the characters. By the way, I'm Gold 2 in Valorant, I really enjoy playing this game and I would like to bet for a match sometimes.

The main problem is the Specifications of the Game ,so High that a Computer must be Gaming Set up before we can play this better.
Wow ,Gold 2? I'm still waiting for my technician to upgrade my Computer so i can install and play this ,because most of my friends are betting on this game i don't want to be left alone lol.

Here in my country you can bet bitcoin by playing counter strike you just need to open the tournament and then you can place bets you even you can play with them all you just need to do is to pay the entrance fee, and the prices are bitcoin too or even direct cash it was your choice we never forget on how to play counter strike because this was my favorite game and that game open my mind. Crossfire, Special Force , COD is all similarities you just need to win the game. I hope someday we can play together thou and win amazing price.

Which site was that mate? in which country? only for your country or can be for others?

Looks like interesting because i Use to be a Good Counter strike player ,I have won some tournament back in the past when this was very active and popular

Crossfire as well .because this Valorant makes me Harder to learn ,Maybe because of Age variation lol.

It still just the same, almost like the other first-person shooting games such as Crossfire, SF, CSGO, but Valorant just added a tweak which is to provide the characters with abilities. The abilities are what makes it harder and complex since every character should be first learned to make sure that their abilities will be utilized efficiently. It is not just a game of shooting but with good strategies and teamwork, and I can see that Valorant will be good for betting as the chance of winning will not just depend on how good a player's aim is, but with his familiarity with his character.

I would've added Valorant into esports betting after a more of couple of maps but hey, the eports industry is booming so no wonder why we see new games every months. Don't get me wrong, I played Valorant and I do watch some games from time to time but they game lacks new maps so we could see more diversify strategies from teams.

For me, CF and SF are the same type of FPS while CS:GO and Valorant are almost the same type. Why? CF and SF have almost the same physics of the game, just shoot and kill, nothing complex on that. Valorant and CS:GO are almost the same because of the physics, some CS:GO pros already have an advantage of it because of the same physics but different damage and such. The thing that makes Valorant complex is the skills so it's very inappropriate to compare those other FPS to Valorant.

I'm playing Valorant since day one, you can almost play as CS:GO (the only game you can compare to valo), valorant are very complex because you need a good team composition that will support, def and frag. So the right answer into this is choose a better win with coordination and communication, that'll be the winner. 

I was looking for betting sites for Valorant and I found the same answer as you did, GGBET is the winner.

Do you guys think that Valorant will be the biggest esports we've got? I think there's a big chance cause it's such a hype in Japan etc. Riot knows what they're doing.

Source: https://valorantbettingsites.com/ (https://valorantbettingsites.com/)

Valorant is just a rip off of Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm with its power mechanics and CS:GO FPS, I don't think that it will be as big as an eSport but it will definitely going to gain some following. And I also feel like fans are getting tired of the same kind of games, there needs to be some changes.

It's been almost one year since the initial valorant hype. I remember how promising the new game looked because it was so much more beginner friendly than the thee shooters. Almost all the big twitch streamers played it regularly, but now it looks like that valorant didn't make it as the new number one shooter game. I am not betting so much on e sports at the moment because money is a big tight, but I still like to watch games on YouTube and twitch. What I noticed from the viewer numbers is that CSGO is still more popular. And even games like Escape from Tarkov has a lot of viewers even though there is no real competitive angle for betting. Maybe it takes a few more years for Valorant to reach its place at the top.

Valorant does a better job then overwatch, a large part of that is involving the audience.   I actually rate csgo or cs highest for  two key elements which would be audience participation and involvement which will lead to betting, also then a core competitive element to that game.      CS took years to develop and wasnt immediately popular, on launch it lost out to an ancient version of its own game which felt better to pro players.
   A few more maps and tweaks and Valorant could develop and accumulate interest for bets, so key question would be durability vs competition and new games etc.  I dont rate it the best ever, its got to earn that but could end up there.

Thanks for this incredible summary... Excelent

If you answered this two years ago yes but two years has passed already and valorant is now a popular fps game along with cs go and dota 2. I only don't know if valorant is now available for betting on many sports betting sites but they better add it now if they haven't yet since the game has a potential. Many people are playing it, and this can bring extra traffic/income to a betting site.

The OP has attached some sites on which valorant betting is available but I see that those sites only support fiat and other centralized payment methods like credit/debit card, skrill, and alike but how about those who wants to gamble privately and only use a crypto? Hhmm.

I had also thought something similar, normally the sites that exist are not in crypto format, they are all in another way of money, skrill at least I do not handle it or paypal, but I do not know if the creators of the game can adapt it to crypto and It can be managed through a gaming platform, I don't know how good it is to have it in a casino, I know it is very popular right now, I think it has become very popular after the pandemic or rather since the start of the pandemic It is when many people lost their jobs and began to look for other alternatives, and that option was born, however I would like some site to take this idea into account.

True, Valorant has become famous now and trying to get the spotlight on e-sport FPS category. I think it can tie up now on CSGO since pro players on CSGO like Shroud is now on Valorant pro scene same as other ex-CSGO pro players. It's true that most betting casino that has valorant betting don't accept cryptocurrency but I did a simple googling and I found one crypto casino which is accepting major cryptocurrency to bet on their esports betting such as valorant. That casino is Thunderpick (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5383264.msg59090436#msg59090436), It's my first time seeing it and I think it's a legit casino.

Yea, Valorant sucks for betting.

If someone plans to do it anyway, then set aside all logic and keep on wagering on underdogs. Given how many upsets this game faces, you are bound to make some profit. NFA
Just like how Sentinels with Shroud & Tenz lost to literally WHO  ??? in a qualifier lol

Personally, I prefer CSGO more than NBA or any other sports. More predictable and enjoyable to watch.

Valorant has a huge potential since it's on trend and lots of players are supporting it. Some sites already feature Valorant betting so I'm sure that other bettors who are into E-sports will still get hooked on it. As long as an E-sport is supported by many, it could also be adapted in sports betting. Valorant could easily capture the interest of many bettors since it could also provide entertainment at the same time just like Dota2. However, we have different preferences when it comes to Esports betting but Valorant could also be a good option for those who understand how the game works.

the game is very amazing, it shows how technology is evolving, in my opinion i would just play it for fun, i wouldn't bet my money on it because it would be a more complicated task for me. I would have to take a lot of time to delve into the game, and know how to correctly analyze the game to have a notion of value bets, where and when to bet and how to have a good strategy in case I lose money in a game, how I would recover in another, that it would take me a lot of time. it wouldn't be worth the risk for me now, i'd rather just play or watch the game for fun just

Well, I confess that I'm not very familiar with Valorant...

Well, maybe I may be saying something silly... but do you believe that the Valorant game can have a huge success in betting? Even surpassing CSGO in terms of esports betting or something like that?

Yes, in fact several friends have already told me about VALORANT and they liked it a lot, it's like you say, and some who are very good at Dota2 have left it to move on to something much better, and I think the trends will always be towards the most new and that can offer more fun and obviously in Valorant there are many improvements and they offer good fun, as well as to achieve changes in some players who have always been there.

I'm not very familiar with Valorant but I really like the concept, I think that if they continue to do things that way they will be able to attract many and of course with the gamer community it is enough that they can help grow.

According to what we have been reading, it is likely that people will begin to know it, I do not know how much impact it can have to prefer it over CSGO, but we have to take into account that everything in its entirety must be looking for new technologies , new trends and that every process, whether in games, is going to improve, there is also something that has not been mentioned much, and that is that the metaverses could change everything and see things with more intensity, so I do not know if I am getting ahead of myself in the future, but by the time the metaverses come in we can see all of this immersed in it.

Im interested already, sounds like a strategy.  Find a popular team with big recognizable names and bet for the upset with the good odds vs the overly popular favorite.  Thats something I already try to do in CSGO quite often but it is a more consistent game like you say where as Valorent with its full rainbow of spells and possible entries and dodges, anything is possible maybe its more entertaining but its got to be frustrating as a bettor to pin down who can stop all those possibilities.  In CS you just got to be the best aim quite often, Valorent system isnt nearly as dependent on that skill though the quickest reactions are still a big plus.

eSports aren't very popular when compared to traditional casino games and sports betting. With that in mind, I think it's going to be even harder for Valorant to overcome CS:GO in popularity, because these games are disputing a same niche of players, which is limited and restricted. As I see both games are also of the same kind and style, being Valorant created after CS:GO, so in this case Counter Strike has the benefit of the originality.

Personally, I would like to bet on another kinds of multiplayer games. RTS more specifically. But I have no hopes of it being possible, because I know RTS is one of the lowest demanded kinds of games in the world. They were popular in 90's and early 2000's, but no more.

Who said Valorant isn’t popular?
I have witnessed many pro csgo players have shifted to Valorant, as Valorant had got more fame and money.
This only proves that you don’t have any prior know on the esports market.
After DOTA 2, Valorant is played worldwide in pc competitive scenario.
Many sportsbook has to definitely add Valorant in their markets, else they are really missing the best bettors that can really place big bets in their sportsbook.

Wow i have just watched and get the understanding of VALORANT.
Sorry to say this, I never know it was called Valorant game but i can vividly remember i do play this game on sister's smartphone years back and i never cared finding more details about it not till come across this thread.
It will be very common in most gambling site, and i think i have found something similar to this one of the gambling but can't barely recall. few years to come most of the casino will definitely support it.

There should be a gambler who are looking forward on a game to bet which are more exciting and are unpredictable. Valorant might be the perfect game for them over counter strike go. When you bet in cs:go I think there are times where a comeback can also happen or the under dogs can win but even if there is no comeback, there should be a time where you will be frustrated because you lose your bet. That was normal but it should not be made a regular habit.

If you have that attitude then you better not play gambling at all. Gambling isn't meant to frustrate us but it should work as an entertainment to relieve the stress that we feel.
