According to Deloitte, the eSports industry has shown a year-over-year growth rate of 836 percent. This means that between 2017 and 2018, investments in the eSports industry doubled, with current eSports net worth estimated somewhere around $1.8 billion.
Given all the growth and activity surrounding eSports, it’s no surprise that betting on competitive gaming has also seen a meteoritic rise. eSports compared to athletic sports pair well together—after all, both embody a competitive spirit that’s been harnessed to an appropriate playing field.
Like major league sports, particularly Europe’s football club fanaticism, eSports has also transformed into a punter’s paradise.
