Betting on esports

Over the past few years esports has become more mainstream, and playing and watching events is more popular than it has ever been before. This has made putting money on these events much more common. If you’d like to explore these exciting wagering opportunities, our sportsbook is the perfect place to do just that.

The basic definition of esports, or electronic sports, is any form of competition involving video games. The massive online games are how many athletes get started, although the huge tournaments in dedicated arenas are where the betting action is.

While esports itself involves minimal physical activity, it is just as challenging as any other discipline. Contestants have to train so that they are in good shape and their health won’t deteriorate from hours of sitting in front of a screen, and nutrition is also very important. The psychological effects are also being recognised more. Be sure to check all of these factors, as well as past performances, when you’re deciding what bets to place at Spin Sports.

There are already plenty of esports games that you can wager on and win. The selection is sure to keep expanding, but some of the biggest names at the moment are Counterstrike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), League of Legends (LoL), Defence of the Ancients 2 (DOTA 2) and Star Craft II: Wings of Liberty. Getting familiar with the 4 of these is an excellent starting point.

Both DOTA 2 and LoL are Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) games, where squads of players need to work together to achieve different goals such as reaching specific locations. The teamwork required is similar to what you would see in a physical sport, so check how well the gamers get on before placing your wager.

There’s a greater emphasis on strategy in Star Craft II: Wings of Liberty; and CS:GO is a First Person Shooter (FPS) adventure, where gamers control the avatars from a first-person perspective. The action in CS:GO is particularly easy to follow, making it ideal for novice bettors.

At our trusted and reliable world-class sportsbook, you can put money on who will win an event overall, how many kills each gamer will make, and various specific Proposition wagers. Of course, all our offers come with the most competitive odds, to give you the best returns.
