There is no arguing that esports has become way more popular in the last couple of years than before. If we compare check some of the stats, we can see that certain computer games have sky-rocketed in popularity. Naturally, this also affects the betting industry.

Despite the fact that some people aren’t happy that esports is in such a close connection to online betting, there is no arguing that both industries work really well together. The top betting operators offering apps and bonuses help esports by sponsoring different events. On the other hand, the most popular computer games bring over many new bettors. 

Speaking of the devil, some people don’t know why esports is so popular among those who use mobile apps such as the Betfred app, and there are several reasons why this is the case. Let’s take a look.

There are tons of esports to choose from

People who want to bet on sports usually choose one option and focus on it. Football is the go-to alternative, but some users also focus on tennis, basketball, and several other sports. However, those who decide to focus on esports don’t have to limit themselves to one option because there are more esports to choose from now than ever before.

Operators offer a wide range of options. Some punters are more interested in titles that have been around for many years, such as CSGO, Dota 2, and League of Legends. However, others prefer to put on Arena of Valor, Rocket League, Overwatch 2, and other hot titles.

Every esports is different, which is why users have the chance to try out loads of options. Of course, they need to conduct their own research and learn more about what’s worth it.

Mobile bettors can find unique markets

Since the esports industry consists of tons of games, and each one is different, it probably doesn’t come as a surprise that there are many markets. Once you start using Berfred and its mobile app, you will see that the different esports provide a wide range of markets that users can pick from. There are some similarities, but some games offer unique things.

Although most of the big esports will offer users access to several options, some markets have more things than others. In other words, it all depends on what you’re interested in. Keep in mind that match-fixing is a problem in some esports, so not all markets are worth it.

Watching esports is fun

While it is true that this is not directly related to online betting, many people are interested in it’s just fun. The modern mobile betting applications for Android and iOS offer live streaming services, which means that mobile punters can watch the matches as they unfold and bet on them.

Some esports are dynamic, which makes them incredibly fun to watch. Although they might seem strange to people who are not familiar with the specific game, those who know what to look for appreciate every move, gank opportunity, kill, etc. Some games are a lot more complex than it seems, which makes them incredibly fun to watch.

The bad news is that being fun to watch doesn’t mean that predicting the bets is easy. On the contrary, most esports is not easy to bet on because every wrong move can change the balance of power. Therefore, only people who have the needed experience bet on them.
