there is a big/huge interest to see eSPORTS like Fortnite in Olympics Games! (Starting soon with Tokyo 2021).

There are stances that dont consider esports to be included in olympic games.

Should it really be included?

well this claim made by IOC it is related to Dec 2019. Meanwhile my update has been released on Jun 2020.
The only difference that I can see (but is a big one) it's related to pandemic events.
Probably in the past it was something very strange to be discussed... nowadays appear very different an argument like this, and there are strong pressions!

“One of the major objectives is to run the sport, just like any other sport; that is, to operate on the principles of the Olympic movement,” said Suzara.

Esports is a form of competitive sports but I dont think its related to the Olympics in a way that it should be included. Its not really necessary even in a lockdown as this to directly link the two, an international competition specific to esports can be done without directly arguing for gold medals and the whole ceremony that goes with olympic trials like drug testing and various regulation. The two arent related strongly enough to justify this where as the other activities such as skateboarding is all physical and be defined for records in some way. I can remember Xgames including esports in Aspen, I thought that was ok but even this was controversial for including what some say is non physical, I think esports is a type physical competition but not the whole body obviously and mostly its about control obviously not the strength many sports require.
I dont perceive Fornite as being valid for betting especially, some games will work better then others and in general I dont favour BR as long term viable. If companies want to go it a go then good luck but I dont expect to see it take off really.

COD is more popular than Fortnite. even I think the new game pubg or pubg mobile is more popular than Fortnite and pubg often hosts tournaments, I think in near future it will be a big betting place. personally, I don't like to play Fortnite. but if they host an official tournament, and there is a place to bet, obviously I will bet on it.

In my country fortnite is quite popular, or I just assume it since in my place, office mates and some online friends we do play fortnite, but also plays pubg, dota and mobile legends. We'll maybe because fortnite is alike with pubg, and more traffic or players can get by other games that fortnite doesn't have yet, well will see in the future when esports expand more maybe even other simple games can have a tournament.

I hope that eSports will never find its place in Olympic games.

^ Why not, they are still a sports event and these esports probably have placed on Olympics games.

Probably because it was increasing the Olympics game appeal to younger generations is a core thinking amongst Olympics organizations. Fortnite game and betting belonged to this esports and soon there probably a place, who knows.

Ha ha, good old joke. This talks, about adding computer games intro Olumpics is going around 10 years or maybe even more, but for now it's only dreams of some people. And i doubt that they will become true now, later - i think yes, but not now.

And yeah, Fortnite is pure bullshit.

I hope that eSports will never find its place in Olympic games. I mean, I like to bet on.eSports but that isn't actually real sport and it doesn't deserve a place in.Olympics, that would be completely opposite to what sport represents.
And yes, I don't like Fortnite either.

Sooner or later, we like it or not then it would really be add up but i do agree that this one doesnt really symbolized true sports which we had known in all olympics event.

This do focuses mainly on actual physical sports where we can really see the competition.E-sports can be considered but it doesnt really involve physical motions

which i do also see that it isnt really that much needed nor necessary to be added into this kind of event. Why not just make their own e-sports day?

I agree most eGames won't be forthcoming into the Olympics for a long time, the tournaments might get more and more popular though.

As regarding Fortnite, the game isn't trash unlike most games out there this is suited to a sightly different audience and let me tell you that the young ones like it. It may not be for everyone, specially for the more senior gamers but it still keeps you up on your feet. I guess its a matter of preference.

JohhnyUA is right, they talk about this for years, but I agree with him, we will not see some computer games at Olympic Games
soon. I don't see a reason to add computer games in this competition where is all about sport, physical sport, with running, jumping,
and everything else.
And from all computer games I saw kids playing Fortnite is my less favorite game. I find old Counter Strike, Dota and Lol much more
interesting.

I was wondering.. there are official tournaments or site that give the option for bettings?
Since there are a lot of players it could be really interest try to win some bets... Any bookmaker or similar service?

As far as I am seeing in the game of Fortnite, its really nice to watch individual match-ups instead of teams. Since every player are talented, they should just go around and try to see on which one of them is better and would really nice to bet on underdogs playing that game. I guess Fortnite advancing to a game worth to be included of E-Sports means that the game fosters good competition and we must hope to see further expansions in the game.

I thought fortnite was dead community and considering i haven't heard of it from social media or youtube channels considering im avid gamer myself, i even thought that it might become popular as PUBG, COD or CyberHunter, but still i dont get ads about it in social media platforms or recommendations in youtube channels. It will be arguable to be added in popular gambling sites in my opinion.

I've thought of it too, before the youtube is bombarded with a lot of fortnite advertisement, everyone is sick watching it with a skip button and now I thought the game was already dead but it struck me that they are big enough not to buy any advertisement from any one, that's how huge the community of fortnite is. They got million of player, I think they have more players than Apex Legends but not with COD. Monthly active players, 800K seems okay better than being a dead game. Anyways it already got into the pro scene, there were lots of tournament with fortnite and betting isn't closing its doors for fortnite.

Haven't played Fortnite yet but I've seen the gameplay and it seems that e-sports have been growing since it's becoming part of major tournaments such as SEA games and now the Olympics. I agree that e-sports is now expanding and gaining more attention as what @Vanitywallets2015 had said, this is also due to the pandemic which restricts some contact sports from commencing. With some sports events being canceled, I guess most people will focus more on e-sports betting.

With the evolution of internet people also choosing esports as their career path, battlefield games are in the top list of esports because it needs the real skills and tactics to play them.So probably we can see more tournaments and leagues related to fortnite but I guess now we have lot of games for esports then why especially Fortnite is getting so much attention like Olympics.

Since the beginning of this pandemic globally, people are more interested with fun activities that could keep them busy than ever, specifically online activities.
E-sports has been active and gaining more attention throughout this quarantine which could be of advantage to be affiliated with gambling.
Fortnite is indeed one of these popular games nowadays and has a high definition graphics that keeps players more enthusiastic.

Not a complete trash game, fortnite's graphics is just suited for kids and it is quite not appropriate to add it to esports and sports betting. First, is because they might attract kids into gambling, and second, there's not much community for fortnite gambling since its a battle royale, and its hard to choose the player to bet.

I rather choose CSGO and other FPS games which comprises of teams mainly because the chance of winning is 50/50.

They could still make a competition out of it, like who gets the most wins in a 2 hour session, or something like that.

There are a lot of them online but I don't like betting on Fortnite or even PUBG. It is not that I dislike them, I play PUBG but in a game where a lot of players are fighting each other, it is hard to easily conclude who/which team will win. Unlike MOBAs where you can analyze a team's game and their opponents game. Like other FPS like CSGO where it is usually the popular esports to bet.

People shifted to e-sports betting because there were no other sports in the last 2 months. However since the other sports are resuming now, most people will bet on those and leave the betting on CS:GO or PUBG. One of my colleague used to bet on https://vulkanbet.com/en/fortnite and even asked me to participate but i never listened him.

Just as I mentioned in my previous message, many sports players are now turning to betting options such as e-sports and virtual sports, as no sports competition took place within a period of approximately 60-70 days. Besides, these people will continue to play in the long-term as they now have to dominate these types of bets as they have to bet only such bets for a long time. Finally, I would like to make the following advice that when you receive possible offers, you should definitely research about the company before using it.
