What do you think about Gambling and e-sports?

[shoreno]

im sure that the op of this thread is already aware about esports gambling because if you will see his forum account he isnt a newbie anymore  , he is full member to be exact and he is also carrying a gambling signature on his profile so he is posting mostly on the gambling section therfor he is verry aware of gambling sites and those features that they have and of course this will include esports  that mostly can be found on popular sportsbook sites today  but i guess what he is asking if esports betting will become mainstream on the future along with the traditonal gambling that we have right now  . my answer would be yes there is a high chance because esports games are still becoming hot along with the developments of mobiles/mobile gaming and other portable systems which can now access online  .

With the growth of gambling industries, I think that it could be possible to see e-sports become popular too in the future. We will see the younger people already playing the popular game like the OP mention, and that game will become more popular once gambling is trying to add the game into the gambling list. More people will try to make money from the competition, and I think that there will be a new website which gives e-sports list to bet.

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

I think esport already on some gambling sites. Maybe you can search it again but i only heard about it. Usually Dota or maybe other famous game that allow people to bet on the competition and there is odds for any options.

Gambling or betting on e-sports will never happen in my opinion. This is really difficult to do, because every gambling website will have to include e-sports for everyone who wants to bet. This might be a silly idea to bet on.

But there’s already a betting happening on this E-sports but yeah it wasn’t official since those players and other  involving parties are betting on every game either single gaming or Best of 3-5 still there are gambling happening on there
But moving forward I think we already had many casino games and also youngsters will only participate on this since older people will take hard coping with these games

When esports was first introduced as an option to online gambling I have to say that I made a lot of money.
Now the favorites have so low odds and they dont give a lot of profits to the gamblers. However, if you watch esports and now the news, you can make some money from that.

I think you are still new to e-sports, there are various of sportsbooks that has listed csgo, dota 2 and lol games that you can bet.

Dota 2 and csgo are the most familiar IMO in the e-sports industry. Bet with crypto, fiat or even your items inside the game. These things are possible for those casino's and it is actually happening.

E-sport right now already got a lot attention from all people, In my country, there has some school who teach his student about E-spot and going to be a pro player. Also, the government from my country already make a tournament for E-sports. Anyway, about gambling esport, its best option gambling than soccer in my country, there have some a mafia soccer who set the match score that's why i don't really like gambling on soccer especially my local tournament soccer.

At least for me, e-sport can be an alternative for a gambling match game.

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.

I think it's very difficult to bet on an esport. Too little information and too much statistics and results. The rotation of the players is too high and the stability is very low. This has to be developed very much, but it's very difficult.

I think it's very difficult to bet on an esport .Too little information and too much statistics and results

stats and match results can be used as an info and it can be used as an analysis if which team or player  can take the lead next round  . you can make use of them if you are into esports .also  ,  the difficulty on betting on an esport will depend on the site that you are using  .

gambling and esports are a good tandem knowing that both of them are now becoming popular and growing from time to time  . they only need to add more casinos and games supports

I think so! With the rapidly growing of e-sports and with the many events being held, of course gradually the bookies will look at it as an alternative place for their business and can be paralleled with other types of games such as soccer.

E-Sports is growing very very big at fast pace. Many physical sports were already beaten by E-Sports prize pool especially Dota 2 where year by year it continues to beat its own record. I love E-Sports.😍😍

E-sports are getting very much popular amount the new / young generation and I doubt one day they will surpass the gambling games.
I am a big fan of Dota 2

Esports is gradually becoming bigger as the years goes by as this technology era do progresses we can really expect for this area to gain more attraction.

Dota 2 had accumulated with their recent tournament which is on $31M which is pretty big for a esports game.This proves out that it do really have big interest.

[leowonderful]

I've been betting on esports matches, especially CS:GO matches for a very long time (2+ years IIRC). It's pretty popular already with great bet volume for these matches on a lot of sites, and I actively play CS:GO as well so I often bet on matches and watch them while also noting things that I can incorporate into my own gameplay to improve myself. Win-win scenario for me, even if I happen to lose a match. I also see prize pools continuing to expand into the future as esports become more popular in the future, and along with that more people wanting to bet on matches.

The craziest thing out of all IMO is probably how big the prizepools for Fortnite are, even though the game's relatively new compared to Dota or Counter-Strike- total player earnings are just behind that of CS:GO's even though the game's several years younger than CS (click for link to this data), and there was recently a tournament with a total prize pool of $16 Million USD for the game.

It is pretty obvious that gambling has had a deep root in the market for ages. We are already in the digital world and it is like you gamble in almost anything using your smartphone or laptop. This is super convenience as well. This been said, I think e-sports and gambling is a great combination. There are great chances for one to make money by gambling in sports category.  

We are in a new era already where everything seems too easy to access unlike before where you can't simply bet onto something without passing the KYC or whatsoever the rules on that certain site and a country restricted area for someone that wants to gamble. Luckily through the help of cryptocurrency, we can do whatever we want now.

I'm already betting on E-sports and its fun because I'm a player too. The new era of video games are working well now, there are so many kinds of games that is already available for betting. Traditional gambling are casinos, it can't be a combination of e-sports aside from the online gambling site.

[coin-investor]

Gambling and e-sports are very much similar, both have the ingredients of excitement, there's money involved and we spend hours on both platforms, I have a lot of friends involved in e-sports gambling, and they are doing it with their friends, they go to a computer shop in groups and to compete with other guys and there's a big money involved of course.

And there's a lot of Dota and other e-sports tournament involving a huge amount of money and this is one of them

The fact is that today it is very popular not only Dota 2, but also counter-strike.  The fact is that even for this game there are a lot of competitions around the world.  I think that it is necessary to take into account not only prize pools for the players themselves, but also the ability to bet in bookmakers on the outcome of such competitions.

You are only talking about 2 of them but there are a lot of them.

MOBA (Dota2, LoL, Smite, Paladins), FPS ( Counter-Strike, Overwatch, Fortnite, Rainbow six siege) are not the only modes available on esports. Fighting games are also one of them, Tekken, Smash Bros, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter even Dragon Ball are included in this. Evo 2019 Championship Series is the recent event and it is a great tournament, search that out. What I am saying here is that these games will increase and that means more players, more supporters and more price pools and that would really explode in the incoming years. While technology advances, this type of industry will do too.

You can put gambling in any sports, and it's more so in e-sports, it's done online and here in our neighborhood, kids and adults are going for each other and it involves money, and there are a lot of local e-sports tournament, in fact, it's a multi-million dollar business, you can search online and you can see a lot of tournaments here local and international.
