With e-sports growing each day, like old ones Dota, Lol, CS and the new ones like Fortnite, PUBG etc, and competitions become more professional and more money are into, do you think soon we will be gambling with e-sports together with traditional ones?

I think it's only a matter of time, soon we will be betting on e-sports

But on the games we can able to win by using our skills so it cannot become like a traditional gambling where the result of the bets is not in our hands.

I don't see lot of money for the players even if they won but one lottery could change their entire life.

I don't think you get the idea my friend

The idea is: you will bet on players or teams, just like traditional sports gamble, I'm not talking about you playing the game, just betting

Just some example here how much money are into this competitions nowadays, and this means that is becoming more professional and reliable

I think that will happen ... the concept is to bet which team will be the champion.

for example ... 1 round PUBG match is filled by 25 teams (1 team contains 4 players) then we place a bet on which of the 25 teams will be the winner, Then the better will be given prizes based on rank 1 to 5 or more

This is what I thought would happen if e-sports were met with gambling

You mean seeing esports into Bookies? You are a little bit late man since its been offered already for how many years. Try to look Nitrogensports, you will able to see
esports lines for you to bet on.The thing here is that it doesnt really get too much attention yet most gamblers do bet on typical sports but pretty sure there were bettors on this area.

[milewilda]

Try to look here http://www.bitcoinesport.com/

You would see on how many sportsbook does offer e-sports betting.

[Lakai01]

I ve placed bets back in my LoL-days about 5-6 years ago, so gambling and e-sports have already met
E-sports is nowadays very common in traditional media, eg. big newspapers wrote about the Fortnite championchip last week. Its just a matter of time when well known betting sites like bet365 add e-sports to their portfolio, too.

[nakamura12]

It already happen where esports and gambling met together as mentioned by lakai. Esports tournament do have millions of money as the reward to the winners of the game tournament. A game that I have played that has millions of money to reward tournament winners is Dota 2 because of every money that they can get from percentage of the money used to buy games promo and from sponsors.

[Oceat]

E-sport has already been here before since the start of the release of the multiplayer online games. When Valve starts to release the online first-person shooting games the "Counter-Strike Online" and the most famous MOBA games in Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne and the rest of these new online games then follows.

I remember the day that we used to play Dota 1 while betting who will gonna win and this is the most famous gambling games before. That i remember when i was watching a match the bet would accumulate from $100 - $400. It is not a tournament yet but gamblers are betting to their favorite team with that huge amount.

[ralle14]

Many sportsbook including bitcoin sportsbook already have esports added on their list but only a few have included new games like Pubg and Fortnite but they mostly have the old games since they're popular and usually have the most tournaments every year.

I think that will happen ... the concept is to bet which team will be the champion.

for example ... 1 round PUBG match is filled by 25 teams (1 team contains 4 players) then we place a bet on which of the 25 teams will be the winner, Then the better will be given prizes based on rank 1 to 5 or more

This is what I thought would happen if e-sports were met with gambling  

There's a couple of websites that offers self betting but it's not very popular because its difficult to find another player that have the same skill rank and who is willing to bet.

[Astargath]

People were laughing at e-sports not long ago, now we have million dollar championships. It wont take long for e-sports to become as big as regular sports like football. The new generations aren't that interested in regular sports and eventually e-sports will surpass regular sports. Unfortunately there aren't that many e-sports championships out there.

[finaleshot2016]

Betting on eSports are already existed. Actually there's a lot of platform that accepts BTC to do betting on eSports like LoL, CSGO, DOTA2 and many more.

Steam is already accepting BTC also, this is not new,  eSports gaming already accepted and adopted cryptocurrency. Try herosphere, that's a platform that I've been using last year.

[Lafu]

There was a few systems in the path like for DGB it was CSGO and DOTA so when you played that games you was earning coins and on there plattform on DGB ist was also possible to doing some bets.
But they stoped using this anymore .

[rdluffy]

Very interesting guys, there's e-sports gamble and I'll search in this websites you posted here
I confess I don't know any of them, and I'll be more confortable if a well know website have this kind of bets, like bet365, sporting bet and etc

[o_e_l_e_o]

Steam is already accepting BTC also, this is not new

Steam stopped accepting bitcoin almost 2 years ago, back in December 2017. They stated "high fees and volatility" as the reason. You can read their press release here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/1464096684955433613. As of yet, they have made no moves to consider re-implementing it.

Sportsbet.io is widely advertised around this forum in ad slots and signatures, and has a pretty good reputation as a solid bitcoin sportsbook. They already have active markets for Dota 2, League of Legends, and Counter Strike. You can have a look at their forum thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1458034.0.

I see! I'm not updated 
I'm using our local wallet which is coins.ph to buy SWC.

I hope they consider it on their platform again because I found it more useful than having multiple transactions buying SWC. If I will buy to the other platforms, it will be more expensive than buying direct to steam using BTC. Thanks for the information!

E-sports is already in the world of gambling for many years.

You can bet on that now. I've already participated there few times although it's via fiat deposit.

Not much active though in crypto gambling but there are few crypto gambling sites already that accepts e-sports betting.

[Duzter]

e-sports is not that common as that of slots, casinos and sports betting. This is being played by small number of users compared to the traditional ones. Maybe now there might some added interest from people towards these kind of e-sports based gambling. Just think of the gambling websites for e-sports, if this is being preferred we could've got large number of gambling sites for the same. When we look for e-sports with cryptocurrency acceptance it is very hard to get one.

E-sports industry is considered to be the next-billion dollar industry, so I would say, blockchain projects exploring e-sports will find a good number of audience if properly marketed.

And if you are an ardent supporter of e-sports, the chance of winning is higher than in online casinos.
And if you are lucky like this teen, you will be thinking of putting up a business at a very young age.
