EsportBet.com was founded in December 2016, when esports betting was still finding its feet. There was no Overwatch League. The International had just broken $20 million in prize money for the first time. Nevada had yet to legalise a single esports bet. We launched anyway — because we could see where it was heading.
The mission was simple from day one: build the most honest, comprehensive esports betting guide on the internet.
Nearly a decade later, we’re still here. The team behind EsportBet.com has grown and changed since those early days, but the goal hasn’t changed.
We’ve covered thousands of tournaments, reviewed hundreds of bookmakers, and published daily news and analysis through every major shift the industry has seen — the rise of the franchise league model, the explosion of VALORANT, the move from CS:GO to CS2, the growth of mobile esports across Southeast Asia. Our archive goes back further than almost anyone else in this space.
What we do is simple: we help esports fans bet smarter. That means honest, hands-on reviews of every betting site we recommend. It means real odds comparisons, not copy-pasted marketing copy. It means tournament previews and predictions written by people who actually follow the games — not generalist sports writers drafted in to cover a new vertical.
We cover all the major titles: Counter-Strike 2, League of Legends, Dota 2, VALORANT, Overwatch, Call of Duty, PUBG, Halo, Rocket League, and many more. Our writers cover the full esports calendar year-round — from IEM Katowice in February through to The International and VALORANT Champions in the back half of the year. If there are betting markets on it, we cover it.
Our approach
We test every platform we recommend. We check licensing, payment options, odds depth, and market variety before we publish a review. We update our guides when things change — because in esports, things change constantly. We are also transparent about how we work: we earn a commission when you sign up to a bookmaker through our links, which is how we fund this operation. That doesn’t change our recommendations — a bad betting site gets a bad review regardless.
