Esports betting is a wide-ranging area of the Betsson sportsbook, encompassing the vast gaming variety that is out there. Esports is the world of online gaming, where professional players pit their wits and skills against each other in leagues and competitions worldwide. You can bet on the latest esports odds right here at Betsson.

Esports betting and odds

A click on the esports section gives you access to all the many titles and tournaments we have covered for eSports betting. You can sort by the day's upcoming action, competition and league, or some future outright on major tournaments.

Along with the common 'match winner' market, find plenty more variety for esports odds at Betsson in markets like:

Match Winner

This is where many punters start their journey to bet esports. Picking the winner of a match is also a good, straightforward betting market for forging bigger bets, like accas.

Map Markets

One of the key areas for an esports bet on titles like Valorant and League of Legends is the 'Map Markets.' This is where the winner of the individual Maps within a match can be selected.

Maps Totals have Over/Under options on how many in total will be played. Handicap Maps lines can be set for the individual teams, depending on how strong or weak they are each expected to be.

Score Markets

There are options such as 'Correct Score' in esports betting, where you select the final Maps score in a League of Legends clash, for example.

Tournament Outright

Pick the team for an esports bet you expect to conquer by winning a particular tournament outright.

Handicap Bets

This is a popular pick for esports betting. The handicap sets a weighted market where you choose a line for a bet, such as an underdog defending a +1.5 Map handicap.

First Blood

This is a very common esports market for titles like CS:GO and Valorant. Select which player will nail the first kill in the match.

Betsson Esports Bet Cash Out

Markets are naturally tailored for the right fit for the actual game being played. Whatever your preferred market, look out for the Betsson Cash Out feature. This is where you can get an offer to settle a bet early.

Maybe it is to be in a favourable position and to avert some risk by locking in profit early. Or the Cash Out option could be on a bet that is currently losing, and therefore, a settlement could offset a full loss of stake.

Live Esports Betting

While the patient planning of pre-match esports betting fits the bill for many punters, we also have the option of live in-play betting. A whole range of titles is covered, from the latest FIFA matches in Europe to the current ESL Counter-Strike: GO fixtures.

A bet on esports live provides punters with the edge of making calls based on what they see happening in a match. A strategy could be to wait until a few minutes into the first round of a LoL match to see which team is playing better before picking a winner.

Betsson Esports Betting and Live Streams

Catch plenty of live streaming to accentuate your esports live betting at Betsson. Click on a match and then on the play button to catch the latest action from a Fortnite, Valorant, or Apex Legends clash.

The free streams can be watched on the same page as the current markets, allowing you to conveniently assess the latest esports betting odds.

Popular Esports Games

There is a large range of game titles that fall under esports betting. Among the biggest are Fortnite, PUBG, and CS:GO. But that's the tip of the iceberg in terms of what's out there in the gaming world.

Here are some of the most popular esports games:

League of Legends

Which team will destroy the opposition's Nexus first? That's the simple premise of League of Legends, but the game is a lot more complex than that. It's a highly skilled title, packed with strategy and challenges, and one of the most-played online games in the world.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

It's one of the biggest sports titles going. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has enjoyed phenomenal success. Teams of five players face each other in a match to fulfil an objective of either destruction or the defence of justice.

Valorant

The gaming world of Valorant is huge. This is another team-based game set in a more futuristic world than the abovementioned games. Teams of five are charged with an attack or defence-minded mission to come out on top in a match.

Dota 2

Featuring a similar style of play to Valorant and League of Legends, the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena game Dota 2 is huge. It's five-on-five players, with some stunning graphics and complex, nuanced features that set it apart.

Apex Legends

Apex Legends is a branch of the popular gaming series Titanfall. There are some huge esports tournaments with massive prize money for Apex Legends. Players drop onto a map and must try to survive the trials in this squad-based Battle Royale, where a fantastic blend of individual skills and team unity count.

Most Popular Esports Tournaments

The most common format of week-by-week action for a bet on esports is from the global leagues. There are many out there, stretching across all continents. But high-profile tournaments also come on the radar for market odds on esports.
