How is esports betting different from sports betting?
The bet types are similar, but esports matches are often played as a series of maps or games, so markets such as map handicap and total maps are common.
Which esports titles are covered?
Our guides focus on major competitive titles — Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, League of Legends and Valorant.
Is there an age limit?
Yes. You must be 18 or over to open a wagering account or bet in Australia, even though many esports fans are younger. Never share an account.
