Because just like eSports, the number of bets on eSports is also growing. More and more people, also in the Netherlands, are playing games against each other in a competitive context. The most popular games at the moment are League of Legends, Dota 2 and of course FIFA. More E-athletes also guarantee more audience, sponsors, live streams and financial interests. It is therefore no wonder that the stadiums for eSports are now full.

When you bet on eSports as an online gambler, you usually choose a certain league. It goes without saying that it is advisable to bet on an important competition. After all, a popular competition means that there is a lot of bets and therefore high payouts. Most online providers have a calendar where you can see which events are on the program.

The most popular competitions at the moment are the LoL World Championship and The International. In the former competition, the most highly qualified players of the League of Legends game will compete against each other. The International is again played by the lovers of DOTA2. League of Legends has been the most played online game for some time now, with DOTA2 as a close second. Attention, the prize pools are also huge.

eSports are still in its infancy in the Netherlands. That is why most online casinos have made a conscious selection of matches on which you can bet. While betting on eSports you can bet on sports, clubs and specific gamers.

Live matches are also becoming increasingly important. As an online gambler, you can bet on live duels. Currently, you can bet on games like Starcraft 2, Hearthstone, Fifa ’17, Counter Strike GO, Dota 2, and thus League of Legends.

The nice thing is that betting on eSports is not very different from betting on traditional sports competitions. As with physical sports, digital teams also have strengths and weaknesses. For example, in Fifa’17 you have to respond to unexpected events such as injuries. Because in addition to betting on one game element, you can also bet on multiple options, you are always on the edge of your seat. Just like a normal match.

Bettors have the option to display the odds in the form of decimals, fractions, and American odds. The bet slip is usually based on the decimal odds.

• Decimal  odd:  shows what the payout is for each euro invested.
• American odd:  Shown in two forms. The negative odd shows how much you have to bet to win 100 units, for example. The positive odd shows how much you will win if you bet 100 units.
• Fractions:  the English system is quite difficult with its fractions and less useful for calculating the bets and the differences between odds.

E-sports matches are often streamed live  and it is therefore easy to follow a match. This way you are aware of the developments every minute. You can also make changes to the bet you have placed via live betting.
