Do mobile eSports have a future in betting?

We saw many new things in the last ten years. Apart from online betting, there is one industry that exploded, and that’s eSports. If you are a gamer and you’ve followed eSports since their humble beginnings, you know that things are way better now than they were a few years ago.

Apart from the fact that there are loads of tournaments, some of the world’s biggest companies also started to sponsor different teams and players. As a result, some of the leading eSports titles such as Dota 2, have tournaments that can reach over $40,000,000.

However, apart from the traditional eSports, which are basically computer games, we also have access to a few mobile games that have also turned into eSports. Although it might seem strange to watch people playing on their phones inside a stadium, this is slowly but steadily becoming more and more popular, especially in some Asian countries. The question is, do mobile eSports have a place in online betting?

The short answer is yes

Similar to any eSport, the mobile ones are also packed with actions, which means that there are tons of betting opportunities. Nonetheless, it seems like most of the gambling operators still haven’t decided to include them in their bonus portfolio, but this is prone to change in the near future.

One of the things that we expect to see from some of the biggest names in this industry is various mobile bonuses for those who bet on eSports using their handheld device. Nowadays, only a handful of online bookies have exclusive promos and features for their mobile customers. You can take a look at the different sportsbook apps by Betenemy and see which one has all of the things we’ve just mentioned. While you’re there, explore the different selection of eSports you’ll find on some of the apps.

How can we prepare ourselves for mobile eSports betting?

Similar to everything new that we pick up, we need to know how it works. Thus, the first thing that we have to do is to learn each game and its specifics. The easiest way to do that is to download the game on our phone and tablet and spend some time playing. Nonetheless, there are various websites where you can watch live streams as well, so don’t worry.

Once you learn how the game works, you need to read a little bit more information about the teams and players. This will usually take more time, especially if you don’t have any previous eSports experience. Nonetheless, it’s something that you need to do if you want to become a successful bettor. 

Lastly, you need to take a look at the different markets and choose something you like. We are likely going to see the same markets like the ones for regular eSports, but there could be some specifics. 

Mobile eSports are fantastic, and we can’t want to see more online bookies add them to their selection of sports.
