Shaq is an owner of esports team for a few years now and they are not bad in the matches for csgo I've seen.   Also there is a couple teams owned by mainstream football clubs, again not a new thing exactly.   Reason why is the numbers support the interest, esports grew alot and its attractive to a specific demographic in advertising that cannot as easily target this age group any other way.

So its a definite ongoing popular sector of competition and audience figures I think with repeated support by major advertisers

There are a few other celebrities who are getting into esports as they already have a major television network showing overwatch matches. So it is very big business.
I think shaquille o'neal has done the same thing investing in a team of his own in overwatch called nrg. This was several years ago so I dont know how successful they are now.

It is good too see both the startup world getting even bigger, I know the startup world has been on the rise for years now but I feel like rich people (angel investors and people like Ashton Kutcher and drake) giving a bit to the people who want to build something is eliminating the horrible banking requirements (this way nobody needs to take money from banks as a loan and than have to repay, you just give a part of your company without really having any debt at all so you as owner may not earn as much but the company rises) and what this also puts on top of it is the esports betting.

We have been aware for the fact that esports have been on the rise but it has been on the rise for the people who know whats what but ask any elderly 70 year old guy and he has no idea how big it is because mainstream doesn't really share it, you can watch NFL from 150+ countries on tv but when it comes to esports finals in any game there is barevely any TV coverage and its mostly twitch. These type of investments into esports will only make it bigger.

I think esports is already a big thing,,, in my country you can find TV ads, and the newspapers are talking about our players like they are football players;)
eSports are kind of sports game but they are played using video games. Video games such as these games:
  • DOTA 2
  • CS:GO
  • League of Legends
  • Fortnite
  • Heroes of Newerth
  • PUBG

Then, what is the relation of football players in eSports?

Drake's influence is too strong?Really?And why it is "too strong"?Because he is famous?That doesn't mean anything.Famous artists or athletes can make stupid business decisions with their hard earned money.
I wish good luck to the Player's Lounge dev team.I'm not a big esports betting fan,but let's see what will happen.
This will just give the players' lounge a boost. And I agree, it's just business. Just like what did the GCOX did, they say that there were many celebrities invested in their project, including Manny Pacquiao. Look at what they brought now, they don't have an exchange. But, they have a fake OTC.

And you know, things will get even bigger for esports. But will I bet on them? No, not really. I do not trust these guys to not cheat or throw away the games if they were paid a lot of money, or worse, if they were threatened by the mafia. I would definitely throw my game if I were threatened to have my family harmed. Did anyone ever think of that in esports I wonder?

Esports is a lot easier to fix than football, basketball, and other mainstream sports.  Video games are growing in popularity but they still pair in comparison to real sports.  I'm with you, I would never bet on an esports match.
Besides not making a bet in esports, I think it's better to make a bet in sports betting because we have a chance to win the game. But maybe if we are familiar with the game in the esports, we can place bets like what we did in sports betting.
And hey, I read that some games can be cheated if we know how the key so we can win the game with easy, but I don't think it will easy to find the key because it spread by privately. But I am not sure about that.

Drake, together with tech heavyweights Strauss Zelnick and Marissa Mayer, recently invested in the esports betting startup Players’ Lounge. The money invested was worth $3 million!

Full news: DRAKE INKS $3M INVESTMENT DEAL WITH ESPORTS STARTUP PLAYERS’ LOUNGE

As one esports reported said, Drake's influence is too strong that we'll see the world listening to him the moment he brings the esports betting platform to the table.

I'm looking at this as a step toward making esports a part of the gambling industry's mainstream.

What are your thoughts on the ever-growing esports betting community?

For affiliates, do you think there is going to be a bigger earning potential in the esports side of casino affiliate marketing?

The e-sports market is so big and will be growing year by year. there are so many countries where e-sports is still a small niche. smart decision which drake has made. im sure gambling on esports will also grow rapidly in the next years.

Drake has definitely seen the future and I am glad he did.
Esports has already started to be a big thing with many money been spent in events and tournaments for esports.
The amount that he has invested is not big for him. He has millions in his pocket and he is not going to suffer any losses in the end.

Anything is possible to happen even on just typical physical sports these fixed games are plausible and so as with esports.No matter which side you would tend to
bet theres always the risk for games to be rigged nor planned.


For affiliates, do you think there is going to be a bigger earning potential in the esports side of casino affiliate marketing?
Possible but affiliate market would be hard just like as usual with other similar referral system because sudden increase of demand doesnt mean that you would
succeed into this line.
