Interview: What does esports got to do with casinos?

Due to the many opportunities that esports betting provides, the casino world has begun to open its eyes to esports betting in the recent past. It is a fact that the casinos also know. To keep up with the times, many licensed casinos, in their bid to evolve, are going above and beyond to include esports betting as part of their offerings.

Today we got an interesting guest named Great.com that is an expert when it comes to online casino. In this interview, we will talk to them about why more and more casinos are getting into Esports and the reasons why. Keep on reading to learn some interesting facts about the casino and Esports industry.

Why are online casinos getting into Esports more and more?

Our first question to Great.com is why they think that more and more online casinos are getting involved in the Esport industry.

“There are more opportunities to win when there are more games.”

Esports betting has a lot of markets says Great.com at first. Thus, there are a lot of people as well. Also to match-winners, draw, correct score, and total rounds, there are other markets available. This enables casinos to offer players more games to wager on by integrating these market segments. There are more opportunities to win when there are more games. Consequently, you may be lucky enough to win more when playing online games than when playing regular casino games.

“The chance to win some cash attracts esports fans to the casino.”

There are also a lot of bets that are like those from traditional sports games says Great.com. They continue by saying that it is interesting that licensed casinos have the quality software to offer each of these options. There is even a twist with an online casino. Rather than being played on pitches, they have more betting markets that are tailored to the games’ specific requirements.

The chance to win some cash attracts esports fans to the casino. The casino can generate more money indirectly, as you can see, and that’s a good reason for online casinos to get involved in Esports says Great.com.

Do the public and the audience get affected?

We also wanted to ask Great.com about the public and audience, and how that might play a role in this.

Esports was relatively unknown before. Even though many have watched clips, many are unaware of what these leagues and tournaments are like and with each passing year, the situation changes rapidly says Great.com. As esports events receive more publicity, more people are becoming aware of them. Online casinos now benefit from increased awareness.

“Esports betting will be more popular with heavier advertising and increased coverage.”

When they see that someone has won over $2 million in a single tournament, a gambler who is also an esports fan will be intrigued. Furthermore, there are more TV deals and sponsorships in esports. Operators of casinos aren’t stupid and they are aware of this development and how to capitalize on it. So, the conclusion of this is that Esports betting will be more popular with heavier advertising and increased coverage says Great.com.

With that said, we want to thank Great.com for participating in this interview and gave us some good answers and information.
