Dota 2
Professional tournaments with match winner, map winner, map handicap and total maps markets. Teams such as OG and 1WIN play in tournaments like PR Universe.
Melbet's esports menu is bigger than most people expect. Alongside the major Dota 2, Counter-Strike and Mobile Legends tournaments there's a round-the-clock programme of simulated football, fighting games, marble races and quick draw games. They look similar in the menu but behave very differently, so here's what each one is and how its markets work.
These are real teams in scheduled tournaments, with the same pre-match and live structure as traditional sports.
Professional tournaments with match winner, map winner, map handicap and total maps markets. Teams such as OG and 1WIN play in tournaments like PR Universe.
Match and map betting on Counter-Strike tournaments, with the same map winner, handicap and total maps markets as Dota 2.
Huge in South-East Asia. Leagues like MPL Philippines are played as best-of-3 or best-of-5 series, and Melbet covers them live map by map.
The LoL World Championship gets its own TOP-EVENTS tab when it's on, alongside the Champions League.
eSports Live is a separate category in the live menu. Matches run all day, every day, so there's always something to bet on. That also means they come round fast.
Short matches in sports video games, played by individual players and streamed live. FIFA and PES have the most matches.
One-on-one fights with quick rounds. Markets usually cover the fight winner and totals or handicaps on rounds.
Even casual games get markets. Most matches last only a few minutes.
Simulated football, tennis, basketball, ice hockey, table tennis, cricket and kabaddi matches with a video stream on the event page. The Alternative sports category adds more football in the same style.
Marble races and marble versions of real sports, filmed and streamed live. Each event is short, and the outcome is decided by physics, not players.
The Play category lists quick games with drawn results that you bet on like events.
Tournament esports use a structure built around maps and series:
| Market | What you're betting on | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Match winner (1 / 2) | Which team or player wins the match or series. | Most esports have no draw, so there's no X. |
| Map winner | Who wins a specific map in a series. | Each map settles on its own. |
| Total maps | Whether a series goes over or under a number of maps, such as 2.5 in a best-of-3. | Over 2.5 in a best-of-3 means the series goes to a deciding map. |
| Map handicap | A team starts with a map advantage or deficit, such as -1.5. | -1.5 in a best-of-3 means winning 2-0. |
| Tournament winner | Who wins the whole event. | Settled when the trophy is decided. |
Dota 2, Counter-Strike, Mobile Legends and League of Legends tournaments, plus eSports Live matches in FIFA, PES, Mortal Kombat, Tekken and dozens of other games.
A live category of short simulated matches, such as FIFA, PES or fighting games, streamed and available to bet on around the clock.
Marble races and marble versions of sports, filmed and streamed live, with markets on the outcome.
A bet on how many maps a series lasts. Over 2.5 in a best-of-3 wins if the series goes to a third map.
