I tried 10+ esports betting websites, here are the best

Over the past 1-2 years, I tried over 10 esports betting sites (at least those available for me that haven't completely pivoted into casinos or others- and exclude the ones that shut down- like Rivalry, or Luckbox before!). Here are some of the best ones I enjoyed the most (and the worst ones) and MY own experience.

1) Thunderpick: it's great- it was crypto-first at the beginning but they kept adding ways to deposit/withdraw, and I didn't have issues in withdrawal. I had very good experience with it- first withdrawals I did it through prepaid/gift cards - then i started using USDT- and it made my life easier. Coverage is excellent, and I like how they keep being involved across major tournaments or their own Thunderpick World Championship.

2) GG.bet: this, of course- it's the esports betting site per excellence. Probably one of the oldest one, to focus specifically in esports - although not sure when, they've started adding more and more of other sports and casino games. Still, it's an excellent choice for esports betting-consider all betting markets they have, games, odds- and more important than anything- they understand the thrill of the games. They keep offering promotions on bets pre-events, especially a couple of weeks before any major / top events, and it's just great taking advantage of any seasonal promo.

3) Rainbet: I got to know Rainbet from Adin Ross- and it's something quite enticing. As part of the group of all these crypto casinos coming out from no-where, Rainbet keep it up with their various weekly raffles, ongoing offers and promotions- then, you can easily spot them sponsoring esports teams/orgs and events.. (Ninjas in Pyjamas, remember?). Their betting markets for CS2 / LoL / Dota / Valorant -- aka major title are all there, but don't expect plenty of markets on other titles- even now with the Esports World Cup, they barely cover Mobile Legends and the various fighting games.

4) Roobet: it didn't convince me at first, as it seems another copy/paste of the emerging crypto casinos rising up in the last few years, with same games, same offerings, and so on. It doesn't have plenty of esports markets (rarely I found matches I was interested in, or where I could bet with decent tips). However it offers the main ~ Counter-Strike (all the time) and FIFA (mostly, those virtual / pre-recorded matches that nobody is watching, but just a feature to offer ongoing bets 7 on 7). However, they really take care of their players, sending you reminders with promo codes/bonus to use and continue playing.

5) Stake. You love them or you hate them. They're basically everywhere, impossible not noticing them, so at some point- you have to try. For a massive website like them, owning also Kick.com - it is a bit underwhelming the 'little' offer they have around esport betting. Basic markets, outright odds, not many players or team stats available - (not even streams available for quite a large portion of games!), so I was expecting way more and am bit disappointed. From another side, depositing & withdrawals went easily down- with no issue. I get they probably spend most of their budget in keeping the casino product & "Originals Games' up (and + Kick too), and they let esports betting falling behind; but they're missing opportunity then (consider they engage people like xQc on Kick - who's almost never placing a bet on a game, just playing random slots.. that says something)- so they could do way more (and better).

6) Betway - Once my favorite esport betting site of all time, I'm not sure what went wrong there. It seems like they're not even trying anymore; the app was solid, can navigate easily via mobile & laptop, but in terms of esports offering- Betway, which was once a top dog for esports, it seems now just an average site with basic markets only. Even in terms of promotions, they lost a lot on attractiveness. But yes, mostly disappointed on the lack of extensive markets and how poorly they're keeping the 'esports' section- kept there, at same level of 'e-leagues' (or those bot vs bot virtual matches that nobody cares).

7) Pinnacle - another once-greatest esportsbook (probably one of the first pioneers?) ended up in forgotten land. Their appeal ended for me when they added the 'Esports Hub' - that was a total flop, probably created by someone who doesn't understand esports and was there working try to please management with a 'heey look- new shiny thing' vibe. No, no, no. Pinnacle was one of the top bookmakers in esports, as their odds were the best in the market- they were offering no bonuses with the specific intention to rather making available the best odds in the market- but they just went down the wrong way, for some reasons.

8) 888Sport / esports. Decent, although, probably not built for esports betting. Few markets, sporadic promotions, it was quite slow on mobile using data -and yes, something I tried, but then I preferred looking at something else. From another side, I didn't have any issues here with deposit + withdrawal + then depositing again; till then lost money on Poker (promo pokers are more appearing than esports betting there, in my view!). So, if Stake before was giving more attention to their casino offer, here probably 888 still runs heavily on Poker and rest is behind.

9) 1xBet - awful experience.Tried to resolve an issue with customer support, but good luck with that. At a point my account was suspended and I wasn't able to get in touch to recover, so of course funds were on hold. Luckily, I only deposited for the test cases, but very strange that they blocked an account without any warning or contact - probably using AI/bots to review newly-created accounts. I won't try again.

10) BCGAME - and finally, BCGAME - it has been a revelation for me. Found plenty of markets, fast deposits/withdrawals, numerous options (even weird things like 'crypto futures' etc, that I said- why not trying). I didnt understand how to get into their VIP program, but nevertheless, I've found what I wanted in terms of map handicaps bets across League games, weekly recharge offers and promotions. I wasn't sure if their sport offers also apply to esports, but contacting their support they confirmed something was usable (not the ones specifying the 'sport'- e.g. "Soccer Party Bet & WIN' -) but that made sense.

And that's it- all my 10- sites experience.
WHat do you guys use, did I miss any that I should try next?
