The Online Esportsbook Unites Two of Our Favourite Things

The online esportsbook brings together two worlds many of us love: video games and online betting. An online “sportsbook” is the US term for an online sports betting website – add an “e” for electronic, and we’re talking about online esports betting. In other words, it’s a website where you can bet on your favourite esports tournaments; the same way you would basketball, soccer, baseball or any other traditional sport.

The number of esports tournaments has exploded in recent years and these events attract massive audiences. The most-watched event of all time, the Fortnite World Cup in 2019, had 2.3 million concurrent viewers with a prize pool of US$30 million! Esports have become serious business and a whole new esports betting industry has grown. Most of the leading betting sites now offer some esports options. In New Zealand, the Spin Sports Esportsbook has a wide variety of esports and markets to wager on. This is where you can place bets on legendary games like League of Legends or Call of Duty. If sportsbooks are totally new to you, the simplest way to get started is with the Moneyline or Match Bet options where you predict which team or player will win the game. To get started pick one of our esports games and check the schedules for upcoming matches.
