In the context of gambling, the esports betting market is a sector that encompasses wagering on competitive video gaming. Esports, short for electronic sports, involves organized multiplayer video game competitions, particularly between professional players, individually or as teams. Betting on esports mirrors traditional sports gambling, where bettors can place wagers on various outcomes within esports competitions. The markets offered include bets on match winners, tournament winners, and proposition bets that might focus on specific in-game events and statistics. This market has evolved with the rise of esports popularity, driven by advancements in technology, streaming platforms, and increased accessibility of video gaming.
