Last week, Gambling911.com reported exclusively that Bookmaker.eu will be dramatically expanding its eSports betting options with the August hiring of two experts in this field. Their goal is to become the biggest provider of eSports betting in the North American and Latin American market. Bet365 has limited exposure in the Americas.
eSports Insider writes:
Multiple bookmakers have opted for an extensive range of markets, mainly based off Valve’s compendium but it’s comfortably the most comprehensive range of markets seen prior to an esports event that we can remember. Bet365 continue to lead the charge.
They note that game developer Valve’s in-game Compendium encourages players to “make predictions on a multitude of statistics across the tournament and thus automatically keeps tabs on the results” and, as such, helps bookmakers identify data that is 100% more reliable with markets “effectively ready made”.
Bet365 has not only taken those markets but also created specific hero versus hero match-ups and player versus player match-ups so there’s a huge amount for punters to choose from.
