eSports is a betting platform that has really been gaining ground in the last decade or so. With the huge popularity of Youtube gamers, people are flocking towards online tournaments to see the best of the best pit it out against each other for often millions of dollars in cash.
And there’s huge money to be made on just betting on the outcomes too, which is where we come in. We’ve rounded up the two best eSports websites on the net so that you can get the best odds and some serious bang for your buck.
Betway
A real up and comer in the betting world, Betway is quickly gaining a reputation for fantastic odds and bonuses – their sign up bonus is an absolute steal, giving you £30 free bets when you put down your first £10. They also offer bonuses now and again throughout the website meaning that there is always a deal to take advantage of. They offer a fair range of eSports to choose from and a very easy to use platform which is also available on mobile.
The odds on the majority of bets were extremely generous compared to Betway’s rivals, especially in the eSports section. Tournaments from across the world are featured, and you can place accumulative and tournament outcome bets as well as regular individual wagers.
Making deposits and withdrawing is very simple and secure, and all the major forms of payment seem to work very well. We had absolutely no problems with customer service which was very helpful and replied rapidly.
Bet365
Already huge in the world of sports and casino betting, Bet365 does not disappoint on the eSports front either – it was ranked number one eGaming company three years running. It has a huge advantage in that it’s already fairly big with a good reputation – you know your money is secure and you won’t lose out to scams.
As a sign-up reward, Bet365 gives you a 100% bonus on up to £100 (minimum deposit £10), which is effectively doubling the money you have to play with. They offer a wide range of eSports to choose from including LoL, Counter-Strike and DOTA 2. They also offer a live betting service with hundreds of different odds (and some of them extremely reasonable), with schedules of upcoming events and tournaments so you can stay up to date.
The website is well-presented and easy to navigate making it super easy to get started placing bets, and their customer service is impressively helpful with whatever issue you may have. Their app is also compatible with all the main mobile devices and you can pay in with all major forms of payment.
So which one is best?
It was a bit of a toss-up between the two. The odds at Betway were better than those of Bet365, however, Bet365 offered a wider range of sports and in our opinion the better sign-up bonus, so we’d suggest you check them both out and find out which one is right for you!
