It is also painfully obvious that nowadays, Esports is the new trend, not only in the iGaming industry but also in the consumer market. With the rate of growth, this sector might one day be bigger than all other sportsbook betting combined!
The first large scale video game competitions began in the early 2000’s. World Cyber Games and Electronic Sports were followed by Major League Gaming (MLG). A few video games and some pretty decent graphic upgrades later, we began to see First Person Shooter (FPS) gaming competitions taking place. These included titles such as Call of Duty, Counter-strike as well as League of Legends.
It was however the competitions that took place from 2015 onward that really grew the industry. With 2017 seeing a total of $110 million dollars in prize money being awarded for competitions, larger audiences began to notice this new form of electronic sport.
Looking to the future, 2020 is set to see Esports revenue hitting $1.5 billion. As this sport grows in viewers, so will the number of bets placed on it.
For this reason, ZamlyGaming has recently recruited avid gamers who are fanatics about different types of Esport; fighting games, first-person shooters (FPS), real-time strategy (RTS), and multiplayer online battle arena games (MOBA). Through the same principals used to train our casino and sportsbook writers, we believe that our team is able to deliver the best Esports content out there.
