Bookmakers and casinos have become more and more accustomed to esports offerings in recent times .however, prior to 2020 esports betting had failed to truly accelerate, for a multitude of reasons.
Esports betting went through somewhat of a ‘boom period’ in 2020, in part due to the global health pandemic, with many sporting events being cancelled or put on pause for a prolonged period. The sector’s growth is expected to continue too despite sports betting products now being close to fully operational once more, with more betting platforms putting a priority on competitive gaming, whether that be through offering odds or sponsoring esports entities.
