The Potential of Esports Betting Markets Still Not Reached

A number of suppliers and betting companies have emerged in the past few years. Some, such as Luckbox, have even been endorsed by the community as trustworthy websites to place a wager.

Yet, despite a foreseen boom in the segment, there has been no actual development allowing analysts to pinpoint the esports betting market.

Many have reiterated a common mantra, i.e. a rapid expansion of the market. Nevertheless, data shows that terms such as “Dota 2 betting” get 4 million hits on Google whereas “NFL betting” sports some 66 million searches. Even League of Legends, a game with arguably more accommodating gameplay and friendlier learning curve than Dota 2, only has 10 million queries related to esports gambling.

According to an Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, LLC report posted back in 2016, the global esports betting market is $7.5 billion. Given the recent spike in activities, this number could be outdated, and black markets may still be operating. On the plus side, Eilers & Krejcik published their “Why Americans Do (And Don’t) Bet On Sports,” survey in September 2019.

Based on their findings, 27% of mainstream Americangamblers have also reported placing a wager on esports in the past twelvemonths leading up to the survey interview.

In the meantime, companies such as DATA.BET contin lg777 ueto develop data-driven solution that have multiple applications and could helpteams improve their own results.

Newzoo, arguably the largest esports-insights-focused analyst company is yet to publish a survey that focuses exclusively on the gambling aspects of esports, which has prompted some observers today to believe that esports betting has not reached a point where it is important enough, even though a lot of companies have been pushing forth with innovative products.

Most recently, Winners.bet has been given the go-ahead to set-up base of operation in Malta, and Midnite, a company that has developed popular DFS app Dribble, has raised additional $2.5 million to invest in esports betting products.

One pressing question remains – will the generations who play competitive video games actually give up on the concept of gambling altogether?

What’s known for a fact is that the esports generation is too smart to fall for traditional marketing ploys.
