It is already in the scene and mainstream lately. With those professional teams, they got most of their sponsors from the bookies. So the tendency, their fans have the idea of what their sponsors are, bookies.

It's been so long that esports has been tied with gambling and there are many crypto bookies that have always included their matches so for the teens, they're aware and as well as at the same time, they're also becoming open about cryptocurrencies due to the P2E features by NFT projects. So the scope of gambling and esports is wide not just in the future but it's happening today.

As far as I know, esports betting is already popular among gamblers. There are sites that allow users to place bets on different games. They use in game items that has values or skins to place those bets. If i remember correctly, valve had issues with those people that were gambling with steam items. There are also crypto sportsbook that allows you to place bets using crypto currencies.

Gg.bet
Loot.bet
etc..

You could see lots of choices if you wanted to. Its just a matter of some effort on making some simple search.

if i may add, stake.com also has esports in their list : dota2, LoL, counterstrike

https://stake.com/sports/dota-2/featured - https://stake.com/sports/league-of-legends/featured - https://stake.com/sports/counter-strike/featured

you can also find these in other sportsbooks here, so those are already out there, waiting to be tapped by new crypto bettors on esports

now, just remember upon registration, some sites will ask if you are over 18 yrs old. so better check their ToS first because it may create trouble in the future. good if the bookie is not requiring any kyc info.

I wouldn't recommend stake, they use 3rd party bookmakers to place your bets recently there were some users had their bet void because they placed the bet in the same game on another website that used the same Bookmaker.

Anyway, I enjoyed watching last LCS and think about placing some bets in LoL.

But I created Thread to know if the Esport betting with Crypto started with LoL, CoD or there were online bettings going on before bitcoin came.

The answer is obviously, yes.

We have noticed the growth of it from just a simple and mini-tournament to a big and huge event with some big sponsorship too. Actually, even without Esports Betting, teens nowadays will really expose to any games. Just imagined before, especially within 2000s, online computer games are hyped such as World of Warcraft 1, Starcraft, Red Alert, Counter-Strike, games like that attract many teens and even adults. With the evolution of technology today where people are mostly lurking on their gadgets, encountering Esports games can't really avoid so it's just a matter if people will play it or not.

Once the pandemic eased, we can now see again an alive and full power venue of an Esports event.

I actually think that it's a matter of time before esports is the new dominant category in the sportsbetting industry.

Traditional sports are simply not as exciting to the new generations anymore, and people are able to be more hands on with esports as they can take part with greater ease compared to traditional sports which require significant equipment needs.

Definitely an area that sportsbooks need to capitalize on right now. Competition is scarce as well since most of the crypto esportsbooks have very low limits.

Lol, it's my dream to become part of their marketing team. People love games similar of Dota and in this niche, as I know it's the leader with enormous prizes. The reason of why League of legends become so popular, beside the game/story, etc is that they have amazing marketing team and adorable marketing strategy.
They hired imagine dragons to write new top song Warriors exclusively for Riot. They did songs with collaborating other singers (and by owning their own team/studio), thigs like Legends never die, phoenix, rise, etc.

They are very innovative, I think we should expect something crypto related from them.

Deffinitely, as new generation emerges they will be more likely be exposed to eSports games/tournaments and will become a possible eSport betting gambler as they grow old. The only question there is, is if the market on eSport betting will become as big or surpass the one on the traditional sports. and if it will, it is only a matter of when.

I think the Axie game might turn into an esports because they said the team is developing it to become a strategy game which could become an eSport too.

World of Warcraft and Dota had been around for years but because those gamers are not converted into crypto users, the adoption to esports is very slow. But with the rise of Axie, many gamers might just be interested.

ESports is already popular and I assume eSports betting odds are available in all major betting platforms. I used to bet heavily on eSports and I didn't find it hard to look for odds in top crypto betting sites like Sportsbet, Nitrogen, Cloudbet, and so on. Especially Dota II, it's very popular and has the largest prize pool in all of eSports history, surpassing $40 million in the upcoming TI 10 in Romania.

It's just that eSports is highly niche-based. It cannot be compared to the likes of soccer, basketball, tennis, and other sports.

The market has already become big, far from before and I projected will be a lot big in the future. That's why ESports becomes the talk of the town, especially with the big prize pool in history, lots of sponsorship, big partnerships, and big plan for the future. Aside from the big events, there are also local events now organizing Esports events which also have a good prize pool.

It's already a huge market.

I don't think that there is too much uncertainty that the esports market is going to simply continue to expand its dominance. Especially after this pandemic period, esports growth has far outpaced any traditional sport growth due to restrictions.

As others have said, I think that bookies would be pretty dumb to not take advantage of this trend, and offer markets in LoL, Dota, CSGO etc. if they aren't already.

Aren't they already in to it? I have young family members and friends that are talking non-stop about this games. I played Warcraft (old school red alert like) and DotA before that's why I can relate a little bit when they discuss it.
Regarding with bets, I don't recommend it to them but it is being seen by gambling sites. Stake.com offers that service like CS:GO and Dota 2.
I think there is a huge future for the gaming industry. I actually love the path where it is going right now and I can see they are trying to launch identical games in smartphones to widen the scope of where it could be played.

Looks like you are late in news mate , Esports are already in crypto scene and there are even tournament being Held here in gambling section years back about Clash Of Clans , Mobile Legends and i think even Rules or Survival ,DOTA and League of Legends .

meaning they are already here , but of course the generation next to us will push this more in the future as they are the true lovers of this kind of games.

maybe for another 5 years? Esports will be the main sports that will be conducted in Crypto gambling sites and traditional sports are now lessen their support and popularity because of being rigged .

[Wexnident]

It's already in a pretty good state though? Heck, it's even growing bigger and bigger the more years pass by. Not to mention that it doesn't also include the game itself, but also the various technological improvements that they could use such as 3d stuff, there's also the release of theme songs and whatnot that fit the game. Adding on to that is the fact that there are almost unlimited opportunities due to the eSports scene adding more and more games into it. Heck, even Stardew valley and other single-player games have eSports, what more for other types of games that are competitively in nature.

The industry is no doubt growing and from the article I shared, the expected betting market of Esports is projected to exceed by $205B in 2027. The only downside of usual sports compare to ESports is, during the year-long pandemic, literally the majority of all sports are freeze unlike in Esports that can still be done even without the actual presence of all involved teams on the venue. I also don't see less support from sports due to rigging as that issue is now part of the sports since way back. Big sports leagues will surely come back again on their respective status once the pandemic completely ends.

I like ESports and actually playing it on as part of my game list but to think it will be the main sport for Crypto gambling sites within just 5 years is too much to expect.

My friends already got into this kind of stuff where they bet their in-game items but as soon as they run out of any items they can bet, they will stop betting until they get enough items to bet again. This has been around for years now and those guys made some huge amount of money from it because until now they still playing. This era of ours is not the same when there were no computers and internet where young people don't get an opportunity to earn from their home. right now, all you need to have is knowledge of how it works, and you are all good to go.
