Esports betting at Melbet
Just twenty years ago, computer games were considered purely a pastime for children, but as the children grew up, they didn’t give up their favourite pastime, and now it has become a fully-fledged sport – or, more precisely, a whole range of disciplines with their own rules, tournaments, legions of fans and huge prize pools. Naturally, bookmakers haven’t been left out either: on Melbet, you can predict the result of your favourite team’s match and certain statistical aspects of the fixture. You can also bet on a match where you don’t support either side – that way, you’ll become an interested spectator, and the game will no longer seem boring.
Features of esports betting at Melbet
It is a mistake to view esports as a single, unified entity: it comprises various esports disciplines, each with its own audience and its own season calendar. For the Melbet administration, all esports disciplines and their fans are equal, which is why you can place bets on 11–12 disciplines here, depending on how many are scheduled in the calendar for the coming days. A distinctive feature of esports is the knockout format of tournaments, which means there are always many more matches at the start of a tournament than at the end, and the pairings for the next round are not determined in advance; this leads to significant fluctuations in the number of matches listed in our betting line, but there are usually no fewer than 100.
Bets on esports at Melbet are accepted not only before the start of the game, but also during it; this is convenient, as sometimes a renowned team may field a line-up that is far from their strongest, and the bettor has no way of knowing this in advance. You can also watch live matches thanks to live video streams on our website and in the mobile app – there are no additional requirements for this; simply tune in to the match and place your bets if you see fit.
Main types of esports bets
Fans know that the range of betting options for esports is usually quite limited, often falling short of even 20 markets. This is often justified: in some esports disciplines, there simply isn’t a large amount of statistics available, whilst in others it is difficult to analyse, as too much depends on team line-ups and the mood of their leaders, not to mention the fact that there isn’t much specialist analysis available yet. Despite this, the Melbet administration is ready to offer an impressive line-up of up to 250 markets for top matches, meaning it gives visitors the chance to place a sure bet where the outcome is unpredictable, or to add some intrigue to a match with an obvious result. As for specific examples of betting options, they are as follows:
- match result – who will win the match, regardless of the final score;
- handicap odds – an indicator of the favourite’s significant advantage or, conversely, the underdog’s desperate resistance;
- totals by cards and rounds – the total number of cards and rounds, as a value greater than or less than a specified number;
- bets on individual halves – match result, handicap, total goals or score (where such statistics are available) within a single half, regardless of the overall match result;
- additional game statistics – bets on various aspects of the game, such as whether a kill will be made with a knife or a Molotov cocktail in Counter-Strike.
How to place a bet on esports on the Melbet website
All versions of the Melbet interface are designed so that even a complete beginner can quickly and easily get to grips with all the features. Just in case, here’s a brief guide to help make placing your first bet even easier:
- If you have never registered with Melbet before, start by registering – simply click the ‘Register’ button on our website or in the Android/iOS apps;
- Select and complete any type of registration form, and choose a welcome bonus (in the context of esports, a sports bonus would be the logical choice);
- Once you have completed registration, log in to your account by clicking the ‘Log in’ button;
- In the personal account menu, find the ‘Deposit’ option and top up your gaming balance with an amount of your choice using one of the available payment methods;
- Once the funds have been credited to your account, go to the Esports section, select the esports discipline and the match you’re interested in, then click on the attractive odds to add it to your bet slip;
- Enter the stake amount directly in the betting slip and confirm your bet;
- Wait for the bet to be settled – if you win, the money will be credited to your balance automatically.
