Online gaming and gambling 

Even before the pandemic struck, the online gaming and gambling markets were surging. As well as sports betting, online gambling takes in casino gaming and overlaps with esports, with millions of wagers placed on major esports tournaments year-round. 

Both online gaming and online gambling are now billion-dollar industries, in some ways aided by the coronavirus pandemic as gamers and punters look for socially distanced forms of entertainment. 

Here are some of the best games to bet your money on:

League of Legends

Some of the most popular and thrilling games for spectators and bettors are open battlefield games, and League of Legends is among the most widely known. There are numerous leagues to choose from, and you can find tournaments happening all the time, with different betting options such as first to kill, or first to take a tower. 

Call of Duty

Another first-person shooter that is now available on all platforms, CoD is a firm fixture as an esports betting option. Call of Duty: Warzone is quickly becoming one of the most popular battle royales in the industry. Similar to League of Legends tournaments, Warzone events are well organized and various betting options are available. 

FIFA

Soccer is the most popular sport in the world by some margin so it’s no surprise that the top soccer video game has a strong following. FIFA tournaments (e.g. FIFA eWorld Cup) are easy to find, and bettors will be pleased since all the real-life sports betting options are also available to punters in the game.

Casino games

Online casinos have become astonishingly popular, appealing to a much wider demographic than their land-based counterparts. Whether you fancy your chances playing different blackjack variations, poker, or baccarat at the card tables, taking a chance at the roulette wheel, or spinning the slot machines, there are countless places to play. Luckily there are blogs and resources such as SkyCity online casino’s blog to provide up-to-date information on the best and safest ways to enjoy the games. 

Counter Strike: Global Offensive

An intensely strategic and mechanically-reliant multiplayer first-person shooter, CS:GO is one of the most popular games out there. High octane action provides excitement for spectators and bettors alike, and there are many leagues and tournaments to follow. 

These are just a handful of the thousands of exciting games available for bettors to enjoy. The rise of online gaming and eSports betting looks set to continue.
