Top 6 Video Games You Can Bet On

Dota 2

Dota (Defense of the Ancients) 2 might be the smaller of the two MOBAs in terms of players but Dota 2 is the big one when it comes to prize money and arguably the core fans and even eSports betting fans. Being a game developed by Valve means the fans are hyper critical, expecting always the best which has lead to an incredibly tuned title that creates a thrilling eSports spectator sport. League of Legends might have caught up somewhat, but Dota2 is still deservedly sitting in second place.

Dota2 has more of an open-circuit tournament format with a lot of smaller tournaments alongside huge majors and The International which is the single-largest tournament prize pool with 2019's culminating in over $34 million. There’s almost always something to bet on, and just like League of Legends, there’s plenty of different markets available.

League of Legends

Chances are that if someone says eSports, the first game that comes to mind is League of Legends. The long-running success constantly has ongoing leagues all over the world and you can bet on almost any of them at any given time.

What's incredibly impressive with League of Legends eSports betting is simply the amount of markets available. Everything from outright to matches, map score to first to kill and even first team to take a tower on any given map, there is a staggering amount of markets on offer for League of Legends eSports betting.

Overwatch

Overwatch took a bold approach to their eSports competition which has paid off massively. The Overwatch League (OWL) breaks the teams into conferences and plays matches out like you would expect in a traditional sport. While the initial season was broken down into four stages, the current season follows the traditional season-long league system with the knockout stages for the finals.

With Overwatch 2 already announced, bringing with it everything from Overwatch and a whole lot more, developers Blizzard are into this for the long haul. A full home and away system is already being planned for the next season including each team having it's own home eSports stadium.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Every game on this list features incredibly passionate fans that go through every update and change with a fine tooth comb; but the fans of Counter-Strike are a different beast.

It’s been around for more than 20 years now with a healthy eSports-scene and is still going strong. The number of players was slowly dying around the end of 1.6 and the release of Global Offensive was not a hit at first. It was the release of ‘skins’ in the game that made it explode. Now, the game is free to play, meaning there are more fans jumping into the game than ever before and understanding the tactics involved.

CS:GO is the king of the open-circuit format. There are tens of matches daily to bet on as it has a considerably larger semi-pro scene than any other eSport around - even bigger than League of Legends and Dota2 combined. The bigger events also feature bets like winning by round margin, if there will be a kill with a grenade or not, or how many kills a play will get in a pistol round.

It's safe to say that you’ll never run out of options when betting on Counter-Strike.
