If you’re interested in diving into the thrilling world of esports betting in Canada, Betiton has prepared a complete guide with all the information you need. Esports betting is one of the fastest-growing sports betting categories in Canada, with millions watching their favourite players or teams compete on a professional level.

Betiton Sports Betting Canada offers a full range of esports betting markets and games, which means you can place your bets on popular games like CS:GO, Valorant, DOTA 2, and several others. In this guide, we’ll cover all the necessary information and tips to help you get started at the best esports online betting site in Canada.

What Is Esports Betting?

Esports betting is a form of online sports betting that allows you to bet on popular video games played on a professional and competitive level. It involves placing your wagers on individual players or teams who play these online video games in competitions, tournaments, and events.

Esports betting, like sports betting on football, ice hockey, or any other sport, offers various betting markets. You can choose from straightforward bets, like betting on the tournament winner, or try a more complex bet, like guessing the total number of kills a team will achieve.

How Does Online Esports Betting Work? 

Esports betting is very similar to regular sports betting, which you might already be familiar with. It requires an in-depth knowledge of video games like League of Legends, CS:GO, DOTA 2, Overwatch, and Valorant, among others. Knowing the games, the most popular teams, and the players is necessary to give yourself the best odds of making accurate predictions.

Esports Betting Odds

Betiton Canada provides some of the most competitive odds for esports betting. Esports odds can be presented in three different formats: British odds (fractional), European odds (decimal), or American odds (money line).

The decimal odds format is the most common in Canada and Europe, but if you’re used to a different format, you can easily change it by opening the menu on the top-right corner of the sports betting page.

Esports Betting Markets 

Betiton Canada offers multiple betting markets for each type of esports game. The most common is betting on which team or individual player will win, but you can also try or combine other betting markets when betting on esports.

Here are some of the popular fantasy esports betting markets available at Betiton Canada:

• Match Winner – The most common bet in esports, involving trying to predict who will win a game.
• Outright Winner – A bet on the winner of the entire tournament or event, not the winner of a single match or round.
• Map Winner – The map or round winner is a bet on which team or player will win a map (or round).
• First Blood – A bet on which team will be the first to draw blood in the game, usually available in first-person shooter games like CS:GO.
• First Kill – Similar to the first blood bet, this is a bet on which team will get the first kill in a match or map.
• Total Kills – Betting on the total number of kills achieved by one of the teams.
• Over/Under Betting – Instead of betting on the exact score, you can try to guess whether the total score will be under or over a certain number.
• Handicap Betting – This is a common betting market that can be applied when betting on nearly any sport. It involves using an advantage to the underdog and a disadvantage to the favourites. The team that beats the handicaps wins the bet.
• Overtime – A betting market that applies to games with a time limit (such as Overwatch). It involves betting on whether you think the game will go into overtime or not.
• Home/Away to Win At Least One Map – Betting on either the home or the away team to win at least one map in the match or tournament.

Arena of Valor Betting

Arena of Valor is a popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game released in 2016. It’s also become a very common choice for esports betting, with several tournaments and individual matches on Arena of Valor.

Betting on esports like Arena of Valor offers several interesting markets, including tournament winner, match winner, first blood bet, and first turret destroyed. Between six and ten players battle it out in an Arena of Valor match, and most esports online betting sites offer multiple betting options, tournaments, and events to place your bets on. These include the Arena of Valor World Cup and the Arena of Valor International Championship (AIC).

CS Betting (Counter-Strike)

CS:GO betting is one of the most popular forms of esports betting and is the one market you’re sure to find on any reputable betting site. Counter Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO in short) is one of the most famous multiplayer first-person shooter games. The game involves two teams consisting of five players competing for map dominance.

The game’s style makes it a popular esports betting choice and a great way to add some fun to your gaming experience if you’ve ever played it. Various betting options are available on CS:GO tournaments, including match winner, map winner, and total kills.

DOTA 2 Betting

DOTA 2 is a multiplayer online battle arena video game played by millions worldwide. Betting on DOTA 2 offers even more betting markets than CS:GO and Arena of Valour because the options are virtually endless. Like any esports betting online, the more you know about the game, the better your predictions might be, especially if you want to try more complex markets.

The usual markets like match winner and map winner are available, but many betting sites also offer markets like predicting the number of kills, the first team to reach a specific number of kills, the first to kill Roshan, the team with the most kills, and others.

Esoccer FIFA eSports Betting

FIFA esports is a competitive esoccer tournament featuring the best virtual soccer players in the world. FIFA – arguably the most popular football video game of all time – provides a realistic virtual pitch for tournaments. True soccer fans in Canada enjoy betting on FIFA esports because it’s one of the most tactical esports in this industry.

The FIFAe World Cup is the biggest escoccer tournament in the world, but the FIFAe Club World Cup and the FIFA eNations Cup are also popular among bettors. Common FIFA betting markets are very similar to betting on real soccer, including outright winner, full-time score, total number of goals, and point spread betting.

Esports Betting on League of Legends

LoL esports betting is rapidly rising in popularity, and many avid game fans enjoy betting on it. The LoL World Championship is one of the biggest esports events worldwide, attracting a huge audience yearly. This year, the LoL World Championship Finals will take place in the O2 Arena in London, and you can choose from various betting markets to place your bets on before or during the big event.

The most common and straightforward LoL esports market is the outright winner, which is simply betting on who will win a LoL tournament (such as the World Championships). You can also bet on the league winner, match winner, first blood, first to get X number of kills¸and correct score in a best-of-match.

Esports Overwatch Betting

Overwatch is a team-based multiplayer first-person shooter video game that’s been immensely popular ever since its release in 2016. The game’s unique characters, futuristic environment, and the fact that it has several game modes make it a thrilling betting experience when played on a competitive level.

Most esports betting sites offer good esports overwatch betting odds for the usual markets like match winner, outright winner, and handicap betting. The Overwatch League is the most popular esports Overwatch event. Esports Overwatch betting lines and spread betting are also available.

Rainbow Six Siege Esports Betting

Rainbow Six Siege is another popular video game, although it hasn’t reached the same popularity as the biggest titles like LoL and CS:GO. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is a tactical shooter game that esports fans can bet on at many online betting esports sites.

If you’re interested in Rainbow Six Siege esports betting, you’ll find several betting markets to place your bet. The most common is betting on the match winner for a single match, but you can also try prop betting, like first blood, MVP, and total number of kills. Rainbow Six is also the ideal platform to try esports live betting, allowing you to place your bets as the match progresses.

Starcraft Betting

Starcraft is a real-time strategy video game released by Blizzard Entertainment in 1998, the same creators of Overwatch and World of Warcraft. Most Canadian esports betting sites allow you to bet on video games that are played at a professional level worldwide. The Starcraft 2 World Championship was one of the most popular esports events in the world, and it’s still a popular betting activity.

If you’re familiar with the game and its best players, you can try predicting the match winner or placing bets on the best players. Esports betting live on Starcraft 2 is also available at most betting sites.

Valorant Esports Betting

Valorant is another well-known first-person tactical shooter game, officially released in 2020. It’s a character-based game where teams of five compete against each other on a global stage. Last year, it won the Best Esports Game award at The Game Awards, so it’s unsurprising that esports betting on Valorant is very popular not just in Canada but all over the globe.  

Call of Duty Esports Betting

Call of Duty is one of the most successful video game series, first released in 2003. It’s also one of the oldest video games played on a competitive level, with multiple versions and spin-offs released, not to mention about 400 million copies sold worldwide.

Also referred to as COD for short, Call of Duty is a popular choice for live betting esports markets. Like CS:GO, COD is an esport involving two teams competing against each other in a series of maps. In addition to live esports betting offers, you can place your wagers on many other markets.

Betiton Canada Esports Betting Tips

Like any type of sports betting, your odds of success in esports betting depend on multiple factors, including chance. With the right knowledge, research, and expert predictions, you can improve your odds of a successful bet, but there’s no way to get accurate predictions all the time.

With that in mind, we’ve compiled the best online esports betting tips to help you out.

• Make sure you know the game well before betting on it: Learn as much as you can about the game and the players before you make a bet. You should never bet on a game you don’t understand or haven’t played.
• Keep track of individual and team performances: Being a fan of a game or the top teams isn’t enough to make accurate predictions. It’s important to follow their track record and identify their strengths and weaknesses.
• Understand how the odds work: If you’re new to esports betting, you’ll want to learn how odds work, different odds formats, and how to calculate your potential payout.
• Combine different betting markets: While betting on the outright winner or match winner is how most bettors get started, you’ll get better odds by combining different markets such as map winner, number of kills, and first kill.
• Avoid making emotional betting decisions: Your bets should always be data-driven rather than emotional. Just because you’re a fan of a particular team or player, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good bet.
• Learn proper bankroll management: We advise learning how to manage your esports gambling budget properly to make the most of it.

Responsible Gambling

Betting on your favourite esports games can be a fun and entertaining experience if you take the right precautions to keep yourself safe. Playing responsibly is important when betting on esports or any form of gambling because there’s always the risk of losing.

Our top tips for playing responsibly include setting a budget and account limits to ensure you stick to it, never gambling with money you can’t afford to lose, and taking regular breaks from gambling. Betting on esports or any form of gambling should be entertainment, not a way to earn money, as the risk of losing is always possible.
