NFL, NBA, Soccer - are you planning to replace this sports betting with esports or virtual sports?
Launching 2020 - when in 2020 due to the new world wide situation ?
Thank you
Hello! We are not planning to use Esports or virtual sports as replacements.
Esports betting is growing all the time and has a huge future, but we want to build liquidity around the primary sports betting offering (Soccer, NFL, NBA, Cricket, and later Tennis, Horse Racing) before we expand into Esports markets. Although we will always be listening to liquidity providers and end users - if the demand for Esports grows massively, then we will of course review these plans.
Virtual sports, in our opinion, is not a good fit for a betting exchange. Effectively, virtual sports are a casino product that is powered by an RNG. This can work well in a traditional sportsbook, but we do not think it will attract liquidity on a betting exchange.
exbet.io will launch when we feel that the sporting calendar has recovered and stabilized sufficiently, but of course it is not clear yet *when* this will be. We will keep everyone updated on launch plans here on bitcointalk, on Twitter, and via our newsletter.
