EsportBet.com was founded in December 2016 with a simple mission: build the most honest, comprehensive esports betting guide on the internet. The team behind it has grown since those early days, but the goal hasn’t changed. Every article, preview, and review on this site is written by people who actually follow the games — not generalist sports writers drafted in to cover a new vertical.
Our writers cover the full esports calendar year-round, from IEM Katowice in February to The International and VALORANT Champions in the back half of the year. We test every platform we recommend, compare odds across major bookmakers, and publish daily news and predictions across all the major titles. You can read more about our approach on our About page.

Staff Writer
Our Staff Writer byline covers editorial team content, adapted press releases, and collaborative pieces that don’t carry a single author’s name. All content published under this byline is produced and reviewed by the EsportBet.com editorial team.
Our Editorial Standards
EsportBet.com operates as an affiliate site — we earn a commission when you sign up to a bookmaker through our links. This is how we fund our operation and keep our content free. It does not influence our recommendations: a bad betting site gets a bad review regardless. We test every platform we recommend and update our guides when things change.
