Melbet Esports and Virtual Sports

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.

Major esports tournaments

These are real teams in scheduled tournaments, with the same pre-match and live structure as traditional sports.

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.

Counter-Strike

Match and map betting on Counter-Strike tournaments, with the same map winner, handicap and total maps markets as Dota 2.

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

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.

League of Legends

The LoL World Championship gets its own TOP-EVENTS tab when it's on, alongside the Champions League.

eSports Live: simulated matches around the clock

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.

MarketWhat you're betting onGood 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 winnerWho wins a specific map in a series.Each map settles on its own.
Total mapsWhether 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 handicapA team starts with a map advantage or deficit, such as -1.5.-1.5 in a best-of-3 means winning 2-0.
