Esports betting guide

The questions a new esports bettor asks first, answered in a sentence or two. Invented site, real answers.

  • Is any of this real?

    No. Every book, game title, tournament, offer, rating and author on this site is invented. It is a demo of the PokaTheme WordPress theme on its Esports Arena style.

  • Which games can I bet on?

    The two or three largest titles everywhere, and beyond that it varies enormously. We counted titles priced outside a major tournament window, which is a fairer picture of what a book will offer you in an ordinary week.

  • What happens if a player disconnects?

    It depends entirely on the book’s own rules, and they are not the same anywhere. Some void, some settle on the official result however it was reached, some wait for the tournament organiser. Read that section before you place anything — it is the rule you will eventually meet.

  • Are esports odds worse than football odds?

    Usually, because the markets are thinner and the book is carrying more uncertainty. The gap narrows on the biggest matches and widens sharply on smaller ones, which is also where the pricing mistakes are.

  • Can I watch the match on the site?

    Often, through an embedded stream that runs behind the live feed the odds are priced from. Betting live off a delayed stream is betting on information the book already has, which is worth knowing before you do it.
