Betway launches eSports portal

Betway has become the first major bookmaker to launch a dedicated eSports portal, the company has announced today.

The new portal, which gives eSports fans the opportunity to bet on a wide variety of pre-game, in-play and long term markets, can be accessed via https://esports.betway.com.

The online bookmaker is offering a wide variety of eSports specific markets such as ‘First Blood’ and ‘Map Winner’. Since the beginning of the year Betway has tripled its eSports team to accommodate the huge surge in interest from eSports bettors.

While claiming to become the first major operator to launch a bespoke microsite dedicated to eSports, Betway’s Marketing Director Anthony Werkman revealed that eSports regularly features in the daily top 10 sports for turnover.

Betway’s Anthony Werkman said: “Our new dedicated portal was designed with significant input from our own passion for eSports. The team already in place has years of eSports experience, and we are determined to ensure eSports customers get the attention they deserve in this growing sport.

“Betting on eSports is huge and will only continue to grow. We’ve already taken high four figure bets on everything from CS:GO and Dota 2 to League of Legends and FIFA.

“Betway is leading the way in eSports betting and the launch of our dedicated eSports portal is just the beginning.”
