there is a big/huge interest to see eSPORTS like Fortnite in Olympics Games! (Starting soon with Tokyo 2021).

I was wondering.. there are official tournaments or site that give the option for bettings?
Since there are a lot of players it could be really interest try to win some bets... Any bookmaker or similar service?

Fornite's graphic is good, it is really good to the point that it looks like a cartoon to me. Fortnite is the fps game that when you shot you're enemy he'll turn into an 8-storey building right? lol I saw a lot of videos of fortnite, I haven't played it yet but I don't think it has what it takes to be in an olympic games, I mean we got a lot of good games better than fortnite there is the Apex Legends and R6 that is mechanically advanced than fortnite.

You can try to loot.bet but I don't think they already have fortnite, as far as I know they have just DOTA2, overwatch and CS:GO

E-sports does really expand as years passby and now they adding fortnite in the line and this would also happen to other games which would really show up some demand.

So far i havent seen any crypto bookies that do have fortnite lines but as i made up some search then i found this https://unikrn.com/bet/games/fortnite

Yes, this is fiat one but pretty sure that there would be available in crypto space soon.

Well, this Fortnite betting it is a very promising market amid the COVID19 problem and e-sports is the best alternative to any sports event.
You perhaps look at this Fornite betting site list, ^{[ https://esportsbettingtop.com/best-fortnite-betting-sites/ ]} but I don't know if which of them accept crypto for betting but for sure as far as I know Bet365 is accepted BTC that included on that list.
Indeed, we need to avoid mass gathering and usually, --bettors now are at home and this Fortnite betting is a promising new market in the gambling industry, I hope so.

I like fortnite and it's a good game with good graphics. Since we're talking about bets, it's kinda hard to bet on which player who'll win in the game. Bettings on battle royale isn't effective, even the best player have the possibility to die at start if he don't have good loots. The chances of winning is very low since there are many players each game and it's not easy to be confident on someone you'll a bet on.

Yeah, it's true that eSports always hit in the gambling industry but not all.

So far. the most common games on crypto betting sites that include esports are CS:GO, DOTA2, LoL and Starcraft. with some mini games being played on special tournaments. Don't get me wrong, BR games in general are pretty good and involves a lot of mechanical skill and also unique strategy, but for the most part, RNG plays a huge role on how would these guys adjust, plus the fact that there are tons of players in the playing field and it's quite tricky who to root with. I am yet to see a bookie that accepts BR tournaments regularly since the market for it is actually not that high.

There are bookies that have fortnite like gg.bet for example, maybe we'll see some fornite odds get added to crypto sportsbooks as well if it's going to be a major tournament because I remember a few of them added PUBG when they had some weekly tournaments back then. Right now there's not much options available for fortnite because there's only a few tournaments active unlike some of the popular games where the competitive scene is much stable.

Fortnite is a good game to be honest though a lot of content creators hate it.

When we will be betting, what will we bet here? Fortnite is a battle royale game and unlike PUBG, most of the tournaments that are happening in Fortnite including the biggest one where Bugha won $3M, are in solo mode. If that is a solo, that would make it harder to bet since that is a lot of players to start with. If that is a party or a squad, that is good but I would choose to bet on CSGO or Dota 2 than that since the possibility of winning is much lower.

Honestly, Fornite is one of the best survival games today, the graphics are different for other survival games which Fornite is more on fantasy unlike other survival games just like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG).

About betting on Fortnite, this gonna be interested and exciting, upon googling; I found https://unikrn.com/bet/games/fortnite ,
seems Fortnite starting to grow in gambling field. Good for Fortnite.

[Wexnident]

Tried looking for a few sites that offered Fortnite betting but other than what was said by others, I couldn't really find anything. Still, you could actually question why Fortnite? I do believe that a lot of people would actually argue why Fortnite was the first one to put in the list of possible games to be added in the Olympics when there are PUBG/Apex legends on the same genre of Battle Royale. In terms of FPS, there's CS:GO, Rainbow Six Siege, and the recently released Valorant. I'm not saying that Fortnite is a bad game, but there are a few others out there that are a lot more worthy to be placed on the Olympics.

Though the arrangement of the paragraphs is messed up, but it was the best substitute I could find.

That's odd, I visited bet365 and I couldn't really find Fortnite. Though it's possible that there's just no Fortnite tournament right now.

Before there is a fortnite on playbetr and they even made articles for it.

But now, I don't see any game on them now. Most of the bookies have other esports game and I think they also should include fortnite as a permanent book.

I like the idea of seeing fortnite added to Olympics. They can't ignore the fact that it's already a career these days. I'm an esports advocate/fan and would love to see any esports game be considered by the Olympics.

I have looked to the most popular sports bookie that includes esports but I found no one.

I think that cryptos will implement this kind of betting soon if the interest in betting in Fortnite grows bigger and bigger.Crypto casinos are always trying to add new games to make the user experience at their casinos as enjoyable as they can.Fortnite is a worldwide phenomen where even 6-7 year kids are playing it online in their Ps4 so most probably we will see it in crypto betting very soon.

If the developer integrates with the cryptocurrency, they will need to think about making a new rule that will not allow kids or younger people to play the games because that can make them gamble inside the games. We don't want to see our kids playing gambling games, even with the reason of having fun with their friends.

Besides that, we need to watch them if they are playing games, and don't let them play any gambling games if they don't understand the risk. Even if they know the risk, they should not play the games using the money involved in the games.

If there is more demand for esports betting in the future I am sure the major bookmakers will increase there betting offers for other games and tournaments.

But seeing fortnite in the olympic games seems crazy to me. Sure we there are millions of people playing it but the game is with so much randomness, for example which weapons to find, how many people land near you, etc.

Good players you see at the moment win a lot of games because they play against not so skilled players. But in an olympic setting with only pro playing, it would be all about luck. And thats not the spirit of olympic competition.

Have you ever actually played games like Fortnite? It is simply not true that professional players only win because they play against not so skilled players. Just watch the games in the 2019 Fortnite World Cup. There you can see the best players from all over the world playing against each other. "Luck" is only a very small deciding factor here:

https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/competitive/de/events/world-cup

The games were preceded by very long qualifying phases. Even if you were lucky with drops 1.2 times, you had to perform very well over weeks to be allowed to participate in the World Cup.

[20kevin20]

The e-sports interest in this game could've been predicted a long time ago; pretty much any competitive game nowadays comes with a tournament-like setup in case interest explodes and the game grows big.

It's just bad that these games are mainly played by little kids though; even the guy who won the $3,000,000 2019 Fortnite World Cup was only 17 at the time so was the 3rd place of the same championship. These days it seems like kids and teens are the main focus when it comes to trendy businesses, which I have no idea whether is scary or amazing.

This highly influences the average age of gamblers, so expect a lot of news about kids that gambled their parents' money away.

Fortnite is addictive and has one of the best graphics. I did play it few time and the more y ou play the more you get addicted to it. It was hard for me to work at that time. Thankfully it is over now.

Reports is gradually getting due recognition, it will be nice if games like fortnite gets added to Olympics. I have not heard or known any website that allows betting on fortnite or games similar to it. I would be great to bet on these games.

[nakamura12]

Why I am not surprise that fortnite will be added as one of the esports that you can bet online?. Well, the answer is obvious, it is because of other esports games that is already available to bet online like dota2 and cs go. Why not add more as there are also players of fortnite knows that cryptocurrency exist.

I am not saying that the people competing in the final tournaments got there only by randomness. Of course they are skilled players who have to work hard to get there. But the game has by itself randomness in it, which weapons drop where, etc. Thats why Dota 2 or CSGO are so great for the competitive seen, it's a fixed setting. The spawns are fixed, the end is fixed too.

In that worldcup you got points for being placed on the top, so with good RNG and only becoming 2nd or 3rd everygame you could still become the world champion. The fortnite format is just not great for Olympics.

With what’s happening around us, online games and other non-contact physical activities are preferred. More and more people are getting engaged and thinking about this kind of idea, just like what you posted here OP. I’m going to be interested in getting an Account to the website in which you could bet In those Types of games.

We all know that the Olympics is a showcase in which you could show off your skills in front of the whole world. It’s a sign of development in every kind of aspect, specifically in sports and electronics sports.
