Over the last 15 years or so, esports has exploded in popularity, going from a niche pursuit to a global industry worth more than $1 billion annually, watched by hundreds of millions of spectators around the world.
There’s never been a better time to get into esports betting. As esports has grown, so has the betting surrounding these sports, with opportunities to follow and bet on different games and competitions offered nearly every day of the year. We’re at the forefront of esports betting, so you can rely on Grosvenor Sport to offer you a wide range of markets and odds on the games and tournaments you want to follow and get involved in.
Esports is basically a term for competitive gaming. In a lot of ways, it’s similar to traditional sports, with fans having their favourite teams and watching them play in tournaments and events.
The events are streamed live on streaming platforms like YouTube and Twitch, with millions of viewers around the world watching contests. You can split esports into two main categories. The first is the simulation of real sports, including the likes of FIFA and the NBA. The second is classic games like League of Legends, DOTA 2 and CS:GO.
Just like normal sports betting, esports betting enables you to bet on events and competitions with a variety of different betting markets and betting types. When a certain tournament is happening you’ll be able to bet on the outright winner, as well as a range of other game-specific bets. You’ll see esports odds for each bet, which work in exactly the same way as sports betting odds.
You’ll find a wide array of esports betting markets offered at Grosvenor Sport, with competitive esports odds.
With our easy-to-use website, you’ll be able to place bets on the outcomes of individual matches across a fantastic selection of games, including which team/individual will win a matchup, the final score, top scoring player, first kill, and more. You’ll also be able to place outright bets on the overall outcome of tournaments and overall performance of teams, with all the betting options you’d expect to see from a world leader in sports betting.
With our simple to use bet calculator, you’ll be able to plan your bets out in advance. Pick your bet type, enter your odds (you can choose fractional or decimal), add your stake, and our calculator will show your potential winnings. You can try out a range of bet types to see how they’ll affect your winnings, to help plan your betting carefully, before you place each of them.
Yes, esports betting is just like traditional sports betting. The only thing that’s different is that the sports are virtual.
You have teams lining up against each other to compete in their chosen game and event. And you’ll find outright betting markets that cover the winner of an event, as well as match betting markets that cover the specifics of the game. Just like any sport, once you begin to understand the ins and the outs of each sport and event, knowing which bets to place and when to do so becomes much simpler.
At Grosvenor Sport, you can bet on all the top esports tournaments whenever they roll around. Before and during a competition, you can bet outright on the team that you think will win. And you’ll find the full selection of match betting markets for each and every matchup in the tournament.
We cover all the major competitions and tournaments, such as The International, League of Legends World Championship, Fortnite World Cup and Call of Duty League.
