Legalized Online eSports Betting Generating Impressive New Source Of Revenues For Gaming Companies
⏱ 3 min read
(Palm Beach, Fla.).- It's undeniable that esports, irrespective of the COVID pandemic, has grown substantially over the last few years and will continue to do so. Many experts predict that esports will continue to do well despite the comeback of traditional sports. News UK even wrote in an article,
"With such a large viewing audience, it was only a matter of time before betting sites got involved. While traditional bookmakers were understandably skeptical about the rise of esports, there has now been a wave of fully licensed esports betting sites that now give people an easy way to bet on massive games. Such a large number of esports betting sites have helped many people enjoy a legal and safe way to bet on competitive gaming as a form of entertainment. In fact, recent reports have stated that the global esports betting market size is expected to grow through 2025 with a CAGR of 13.1 percent. An article in Ark-Invest said: "Legalized online sports betting is presenting sport book operators and sports leagues with an opportunity not only to offer exciting interactive online experiences but also to capitalize on a highly efficient fan demand curve and generate new sources of revenues." Active gaming and tech companies in the markets today include: Esports Technologies (NASDAQ: EBET), International Game Technology PLC (NYSE: IGT), Enthusiast Gaming Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: EGLX) (TSX: EGLX), Elys Game Technology, Corp. (NASDAQ: ELYS), Skilz (NYSE: SKLZ).
A MarketInsight report added: "Some early incarnations of esports were fairly amateurish affairs. In some instances, this led to match-fixing in games like Counter-Strike. Thankfully, such examples are becoming increasingly rare, and there has been the development of regulatory bodies like the Esports Integrity Commission to oversee the standards of competitive gaming. Plus, the fact that esports betting sites only accept real money bets rather than permitting skin gambling has helped the activity enjoy more legitimacy. Skin betting blighted esports betting for many years as it was commonly linked with underage gambling. But with the widespread use of licensed real money betting sites offering esports odds, it is hoped that skin gambling will soon become a thing of the past," explained in the article.
