I’ve been getting more into esports betting lately and was curious what platforms everyone here usually uses. What do you guys look for most good odds, game selection, crypto payments, promos, or something else?

Hey OP there are many platforms to use and there are a lot of cool threads breaking it down. Obviously there is Rainbet and Stake and so many others. You will have the best luck just looking on this forum there are multiple posts breaking down some of the fan favorites. Good luck with the bets!

These are all secondary things. The first and most important thing is to choose a casino that is legit. There is no point in getting high bonuses or good odds if the casino is not legit and is a scam. Hence the ideal step would be to first choose a trusted casino and then check whether they offer esports markets or not.

Obviously there is Rainbet and Stake and so many others.

I can also vouch for these casinos. Specifically I use Stake.com to place bets on Valorant VCT matches. Their odds and bet sizes are good for VCT.

Stake.com.

https://stake.games/sports/esports
Not to be confused with "stake.games," it is also theirs.

Pick your poison.

There are so many choices in their list, and if you are using cryptocurrencies, they also have a wide range of options for that. Deposits and withdrawals.

You will need to find a website or services that compare odds instead of asking an opinion here since most user usually play on the casino that they are already accustomed either due to signature campaign enrollment or due to loyalty rewards.

If you are asking what popular sportsbook then it’s the top brand like Stake, Rainbet and many more.

Odds difference usually not a big factor here on choosing sportsbook due to the info that I mentioned above.

I haven't bet on esports myself yet. However, I have played casino games before at Rainbet, and there is a separate Esports section there, if you want to check it out.  It's hard to say for sure about good odds. Because different sportsbooks or bookmakers can offer different odds on the same match. So it will be easier to understand which one is actually better by comparing the odds of the same match on several platforms. And if you do this, it will be best.

Most, if not all, sports betting sites that are promoted here are also offering odds on Esports. You might want to visit the Gambling board on the forum. It's where the official threads of crypto bookmakers are found. You can take a look at what they offer and what gives their platforms edge over their competitors.

More than just good odds, game selection, and the rest mentioned, you might also consider their overall reputation or track record. It's different when you're betting on a platform that somehow gives you peace of mind. There was a time when I compared odds and the controversial 1xbet offered the best, but I simply had to choose another one because of users' feedback.

Op I am very surprised that you are still confused on which casinos to pick when there are dozens of it here on the forum. All you do is just to make a pick and you're there. But if I should suggest going for Rainbet, Rollbit name it, anyone of them wouldn't be a bad idea after all. The only advice I will leave with you is to gamble safe, always gamble with the little you can easily let away and never you expect much in gamble. Enjoy your day man.

[Outhue]

I like using Stake and Rainbet for Esport bets and there is another local online Esport betting in my country that's popular in Africa, people use it a lot I've past history with the platform but not anymore, I just prefer either one of these two because they are far more reliable and also popular, they have built their reputation on record so far and they manage to keep it like that for a very long period of time.

For promotions, I recommend visiting this thread. Only a few bookies regularly offer esports promotions, but your best chance of finding them is to wait for bigger tournaments like the Esports World Cup.

What I prioritize (from top to bottom) from a bookie looks something like this.

• Promotions
• Crypto payments/Minimum withdrawal amount
• Odds
• Game selection

I couldn't agree with you. I don't think the odds difference is such a small factor. If the probability estimate is same, then difference between 1.90 and 2.00 becomes much larger in long run. If EV is +4.5% at 1.90 odds, it is +10% at 2.00 odds. That is, my theoretical edge is more than double just because of this price.

So I would tell OP not to choose your bookie based on popularity or signature campaign. First, shortlist trusted platform, then compare prices in the same market. Especially in esports, where market liquidity and information quality are not same in all matches, price shopping is very important. My personal observation Stake offers better odds in this specific field.

You shouldn’t be surprised with the Op, as he clearly stated that he just started picking interest in esports gambling lately and of which he’s just making this post to get some insights from old gamblers in the forum. It is very possible that someone have been in this forum for years and don’t know anything about gambling, as I’m sure that a good number of users in this forum don’t know much about gambling, as it doesn’t interest them. So if eventually one of such people finally pick interest in gambling, don’t you think the person will need to ask old gamblers some questions for clarity sake? It’s better to ask questions on what you don’t know, than doing it on your own and eventually get into trouble which might be too late to reverse it.

Honestly, I don't even have patience to read such a long post, lol.
My head started spinning when I entered that thread.
After reading a little of that post, I'm still not sure how anyone is supposed to figure out which platform is actually best for esports cause that is too long to read.

Anyway, I understand your promotion-first approach. Especially during big esports tournament, promos are really useful. But even if a $100 bonus looks like $100, if it takes such a turnover to unlock it that the bookmaker's margin eats up large part of my bonus value, then that bonus is not really useful.

So I never judge casino by the headline promo amount. Since OP is looking for good casino for esports, I will first look at wagering requirement, minimum odds, eligible market, max bonus conversion, max win and withdrawal restriction. Then I will prioritize promo. In these cases, my shortlist includes: Stake, Cloudbet and Dexsport.

My comment that you omitted is the main reason why I came up to that post you quoted here. I personally play on Stake regardless on how low it’s odds compared to other sportsbook because I play there for a long time and my funds from signature campaign is being sent to my casino account.

Same with other user that usually use a sportsbook due to loyalty on the casino. To prove this, Stake still has the most number of player regardless if many sportbook offer much better odds.

I’m not saying that those missing odds is not a big deal rather it’s not being considered here as top priority when choosing a bookie since most players prioritize the casino brand over the odds difference.

Getting a reputable platform to bet on is the least of your problem on the forum as there are a lot of them here that runs her promotion on the forum, so far, using most of them have been fair enough and you can decide for yourself the one that is most convenient for you. Rollbit is a good option and for wether they have better odds, the certainly do even though odds alone is not enough factor that determines the best Esporting platform to work on.

Go after platforms that have good reputation and that don't frustrate you if you hit jackpot. As much as you want to enjoy the feeling of playing, you also want to be sure that when you win, you won't struggle getting your reward.

Almost all the big sites on the forum always offer esports in it so you don't need to be confused here, just you open an account on one of the sites then you will get esports betting there.

To suggest maybe I don't want to do that because after all the site selection is up to you alone but the advice I want to give is simply to find a big site with a good reputation in this forum then you can do betting there including in esports because I can see some big sites that I visit (in this forum) they have esports as part of the betting that we can do.

All you need to do now is to open the gambling board thread and look for which site is suitable for yourself.

Personally, I usually use platforms or sites that partner with the forum we all love here. It has been a while since I have engaged in e-sports betting mostly, because, I haven't really felt the urge to follow it lately, and I typically stick to soccer e-sports when I do bet. Well, I am not usually all that interested in specific e-sports betting promotions; instead, I tend to go with my gut when browsing the available options, whether it is because the odds look good, or a match promises to be particularly intense.

Choose how you wish to die--- because you're about to die anyway so make the best out of the experience hehe!  
You have to be a good gamer yourself to want to always bet on esports. That's some level of trust that I can't afford in that type of settings, be he's good to go.

Everything you listed should be part of your requirements by default. If you're just starting out on your journey, take note of everything.

I check their game selection to know if the really have some specific leagues I consider playing their matches or not, then I also consider the most important aspect which is their withdrawal parts, what are the policy behind every permission the granted to make withdrawal and know their minimum withdrawal as well as the maximum, is the platform a KYC casino or not, once I established all this, then I can proceed ahead to see if they meet my condition or not.

I know i have seen a similar thread before now in these community and mostly such question is always asked by a newbie, it is very normal for a newbie to ask a questions in the area, he is finding difficulties on what to decide and there are allot newbies that still need to consider the search options when creating thread within the community, before creating any thread in the community, a newbie should always make use of search option at right corner of your Smart phone or laptop to check if there is a similar thread or already existing thread.

As a gambler, you don't have to be putting odds or promos in front when you want decide on the casino you are not aware of, because most casinos sites can decide to high those futures just to attract customers and at the end of it you can't be able to withdraw your winnings, so you should consider a casino that can pay you when ever you win a bet and why e-sport can be found in the in Rollbit, Rainbet and any others in the forum.
