In May XLBet launched its online betting portal that differs from all other betting operators by focusing primarily on E-Sports. Thereby XLBet became the first (and only) online provider of fixed odds betting on E-Sports.

It is now be possible to bet on Counter Strike, WarCraft 3, StarCraft, Dota, COD4 and FIFA matches, as it has long been possible to bet on soccer or go to the horse track.

Huge potential

There are approximately 400 mill. online gamers worldwide – which is approximately the same amount of people playing soccer. At the biggest events such as ESWC between five and ten thousand fans are physically present while another 150-200.000 is following online. With such massive numbers of loyal fans following the world of E-Sports, taking the step towards a further professionalization of E-Sports through developing an online universe of E-Sports betting seems only natural. Hopefully, the introduction of betting on E-Sports will help pave the road for E-Sports being accepted as a real sport.

With it’s focus on E-Sports, XLBet is taking a huge step in opening the world of E-Sports betting to the masses of gamers, that has never before had the opportunity to bet on their favourite past-time – and even win money on the sport they love.

E-Sport is booming

“The number of registered users on the big gaming sites is huge and rapidly rising. This is a good indication that the E-Sports industry is booming – and so is the demand for betting on eSports. Our goal is to add another dimension to E-Sports by making betting possible – and thus boosting the interest for the pro players and the great teams competing in tournaments worldwide right now,” says co-founder at XLBet, Jacob Nielsen.

According to MYM star player Moon, XLBet will have a positive impact on the E-Sports industry: ”I am really exited about this. Finally somebody has opened their eyes and realized what a great sport, we are part of and by offering fixed odds XLBet does not only show the world that E-Sports are to be taken serious, but also offers people with an E-Sports interest a chance to make some money on their favourite sport and my frags - just like soccer and tennis fans do everyday”, says Moon.

In addition to E-Sports betting, XLBet will also offer betting on other sports like soccer and tennis, and offer clients the chance to visit the Casino Room and very soon also one of the world’s most respected poker rooms.
