Fortnite Betting?

[AbuBhakar]

COD is more popular than Fortnite. even I think the new game pubg or pubg mobile is more popular than Fortnite and pubg often hosts tournaments, I think in near future it will be a big betting place. personally, I don't like to play Fortnite. but if they host an official tournament, and there is a place to bet, obviously I will bet on it.

In my country fortnite is quite popular, or I just assume it since in my place, office mates and some online friends we do play fortnite, but also plays pubg, dota and mobile legends. We'll maybe because fortnite is alike with pubg, and more traffic or players can get by other games that fortnite doesn't have yet, well will see in the future when esports expand more maybe even other simple games  can have a tournament.

Esports is a form of competitive sports but I dont think its related to the Olympics in a way that it should be included.   Its not really necessary even in a lockdown as this to directly link the two, an international competition specific to esports can be done without directly arguing for gold medals and the whole ceremony that goes with olympic trials like drug testing and various regulation.    The two arent related strongly enough to justify this where as the other activities such as skateboarding is all physical and be defined for records in some way.    I can remember Xgames including esports in Aspen, I thought that was ok but even this was controversial for including what some say is non physical, I think esports is a type physical competition but not the whole body obviously and mostly its about control obviously not the strength many sports require.
   I dont perceive Fornite as being valid for betting especially, some games will work better then others and in general I dont favour BR as long term viable.   If companies want to go it a go then good luck but I dont expect to see it take off really.

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

There are stances that dont consider esports to be included in olympic games.

Should it really be included?

well this claim made by IOC it is related to Dec 2019. Meanwhile my update has been released on Jun 2020.
The only difference that I can see (but is a big one) it's related to pandemic events.
Probably in the past it was something very strange to be discussed... nowadays appear very different an argument like this, and there are strong pressions!

“One of the major objectives is to run the sport, just like any other sport; that is, to operate on the principles of the Olympic movement,” said Suzara.

For sure we will see on Paris 2024 (just as a demonstration match but it's a start!)

In 2024, esports will also be a part of the Paris Olympics, but only as a demonstration event.

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.

That's the challenge, that's why it is called a battle royal game because you need to survive and become the number 1 among other players. Fornite is a good game and putting it in an Esports betting game is probably effective and good. This game is very balance and no matter how good you are, if you die, you die. It is about aiming and I know that there are people who already played this game and get addicted to it.

But in reality, I'm not a fan of this Fortnite but I tried playing this.

Honestly, I'm an FPS fan and I play CS:GO which is already in an Esports betting sites.

Fortnite has a lot of potential to become the same with CS:GO when it comes to Esports Olympic.

Due to the pandemic that we currently have now I think one of the sports should be included in a sports betting site is eSports I'm familiar with the games Dota 2, CSGO, LOL, etc. but fortnite is something new I don't actually watch tournaments of a battle royal but I think this will be pretty interesting to see the team on where you place your bet to survive from other players.

I agree that COD is much popular, yet it is depends on what country you are. Here in our country COD is much popular than fortnite. I also do play fortnite but my team mates are from the other part of Asia. I would like to bet but I don’t know how. Can someone tell me how to bet in tournament most especially in a game like this.

Dota2 and CSGO are already in different betting platform so I guess fornite betting wants to have a unique and originality in their betting platform so they come up to the original plan on having the kinds of sports they had for betting. And we should not underestimate the sports they chose for betting because they had too vast fans and gamblers willing to bet in their platform. Pretty sure they can get huge on it as it seems that for now they had no competition with the sports they chose for betting.

As long as the player numbers are increasing for Fortnite the chance are it will be become one of the dominant games also for betting.

For me personally I am a bigger fan of CSGO and really enjoy watching high level tournaments. There is a lot of strategy involved in 5v5 game play. Whereas in Fornite it's a lot more about reaction times, aiming and luck with which weapons you find.

As for me, fortnite as part of esports betting sites will never be good,

Yes it is a battle royal, it is all about surviving until the end of the game. But it is also about who will get a good or great item at the very start of the game. Even how good you are in playing, if you don't have a gun while your enemy does, you have no chance of surviving.

I am also a fan of CSGO, and if we see how it become part of esports is because skills are being tested on this game and all players are in equal footing at the start. Unlike in fortnite, the first one to pick a weapon will survive.

Look, guys, No matter how bad the graphics or the game itself, as long as it gathers fans all around the world to support the popularity of the Olympics and its sales. They will gonna add it for sure and this is not a problem at all since there's so many Fortnite players all around the world.
For the upcoming Tokyo Olympics in 2021, there will be lots of esports included and one of my favorites is Dota 2. I'm really excited to see those elite players competing with each other representing their own country.

I see some contradictory statements here

With regard to electronic games simulating sports, the Summit sees great potential for cooperation and incorporating them into the sports movement

So the IOC is willing to be buddies buddies with those willing to licence their games for vidya, but won't bat an eye for eSports tournaments that draw millions in attendance and tens of millions in online audiences...

It's not an outright no to video games, but rather a no to video games they have no control over.

I have a great hopes that they're not so stupid to add Fortnite to Olimpics. Maybe one of the main reasons is that all "hyped" games of the past (most of them now in the deeps of Oblivion) was not added to Olympics. And even games like CS or LoL was not added to Olympics.

Fornite will be forgotten in few years, so there is no reasons to add it. Olympic council should have at least a little honor.

Changes is inevitable and of course there are people whom do agree or disagree with such decisions.Some prefer on seeing actual physical sports and some do welcome on seeing e-sports.

All things will depend on association if they would consider Fortnite on next Olympics.Into those links given or shown above then it does have some contradicting statements but well in the end of the

day such decisions will be finalized.For me, i dont have any problems if they would add it up because it isnt really that bad to welcome such changes.

Well, that kind of challenge isn't attractable to gamblers because it's difficult to bet on a game where there are many players. That's why battle royale games doesn't even pop up on popular gambling sites because it will just make the bettings very complex unlike CS:GO, a team vs team, red vs blue, not hard to choose where to bet.

That's why competitive match with fast-phase FPS game will be more amusing to gamblers like CS:GO & Valorant.

Agree with you about respecting the game, fortnite has a lot of fans around the world and I think it can still do well in betting whether the graphics is good or not, or even thought its hard to bet about the winner cause it ain't like CS GO or Dota 2. I believe that it still has its audience. However, if we are talking about olympics here, I may see fornite as a good game but I still don't see it as game for the olympics, just an opinion.

If a game like chess is considered as worthy to join the olympics, I don't see why video games could not do the same. The only problem I see with video games is that Chess is an "intemporal" game. It hasn't changed for decades, while video games are always changing. So does it make sense to add video games, when we know that the games played today will not be the same as in 2 years and/or that players good at one game might be bad at others, etc ? I don't know, but it could be interesting to try.

Chess can also change in terms of rules but it is very rare. While a game who's been played for many hours are always changing to build up another strategy for defeating the enemy. Having a patch notes is the ways for avoiding the game being dead. Because online games aren't unique, they can be replaced by another game with the same concept whild Chess is the original, it will still exist because it's the origin of strategical games.

That was pretty and incredibly good that eSports are being recognized as a game worthy to be with an Olympic game. Well actually, I have already heard and watched the live stream of eSports played in the last ASEAN game held in the Philippines wherein Mobile Legends and Tekken have been one of those eSports being played to get along with the said event.

With regards to Fornite, the graphics are really incredibly good and enjoyable to play with which is no doubt that many gamers are getting fun on playing this game. Looking forward that like other MMORPG this game will soon get along into eSports betting events which will surely attract many gamers to bet on it.

I think Fortnite Betting is too impossible. It is simply just a rip-off from many shooting games such as CSGO and PUBG, only made different by planting walls and stairs made from resources on the map. I don't play the game as I found it not that addicting nor strategic at all, especially if you were looking for games that requires a good team play. Hence, I don't see it fit to be bet nor to have a good gambling market.

Same thing I don't like the game I don't see it enjoyable to play. Its simple game copying from pubg with adding other sources like building wall but the highlight is the same as other game, so I don't think it will be considered to add in any betting platform.

While some says Fortnite is much better as it's suitable to all age and clearer graphics than Pubg, there are some charts in google that tallies their popularity too but for sure it will depend on what player prefers to play. Betting part will happen when there will be maybe a set of groups or target audience or bettor, they will sure make research whenever that happens as many where into Mobile legends  and Dota betting than this 2.
