Topic: Potential Valorant Esports betting sites (Read 606 times)

Well sometimes it is not about the game when we watch streamers on twitch or youtube, sometimes we are watching because of the player, for example shroud and Aceu, I'm a fan of them coz they display extraordinary aim, so if they be playing apex, cs:go , valorant it does not matter to me anymore.

It is expected to be set on stage for world tournaments, in fact there are  already tournament happening now in different regions, there are also local tournament in different countries. These days with the pandemic where most of us are locked at home, E-sports is the best way to play and kill your boring time, more people will play and will try to play these games. Valorant has seen some huge potential, so this might be included to betting sites, or we already have it now?

I have the same thoughts about Valorant since it's somehow a combination of CS:GO and Overwatch which people are so addicted to. Some pro players from CS:GO switched to valorant like Freakazodia who has a bright future in playing CS:GO just switched in valorant. Having a situation like that, You can predict that the future of Valorant is clear and tournaments will slowly come up. Also Betting site will also make a fortune with it. Giving betting sites sometime, Valorant players could have the chance to bet to their favorite teams.

its because there are streamers that dont stick on one game but they are streaming different games and sometimes its a plus point because there are viewers that love to see new content  . 

riot is a known gaming brand so its expected that what theyl be releasing is a fun an action packed games  . online games like this can be easily included on esports due thier popularity and thats also the time where betting sites include it on thier platform   .

This game has a lot of potential to boom and most of those FPS streamers in Facebook, Youtube, and even in Twitch tried playing it. They are enjoying the game due to due similarities between CS:GO and I knew that it will become one of the best games in the future. I already watched some mini tournaments or local tournaments and those plays are awesome. I want to see those professional players compete with each other in this new game Valorant. RIOT never failed us to release a new game where we can compete with other people within different countries. I played in SEA server and the thrill is there. Hoping that International tournaments regarding this game should be put into place in ESPORTS. If that happens, bettings will also become popular if this game is used in a betting sites.

Well usually if majority of users demands it then it will be added, even i haven't heard of it.
For me, first person shooters has the same concept like fortnite, cyber hunter, ros and pubg. So with a few countless games it gets boring.

This new game needs should be fresh looking with tons of new exciting to be able to compete with other popular enough esports.

Valorant is one of the most trending online PC games in this year of 2020, that is why it is not a surprise that it would already have a betting site for us both gamblers and gamers to bet. Also, this betting site about the game of Valorant seems legit to me, so it will be good if there will be a tournament that will be going on this year.

Yeah, absolutely I agree. There are already sites like http://valorantbettingsites.com/ showing up which is exclusively niched to list valorant betting sites. I'd be surprised to not see this game have a big betting scene.

I looked at their team and they are really great. As I said before, Wardell are being said to be the face of Valorant nowadays and he is paired up with Subroza which is also a great player. I am not counting their losses with their recent showdown match since Wardell and his company are not that serious in that game and because it is a showdown match.

I think Could 9 has also a good player since Relyks is added to them recently and they also have TenZ which is one of the popular names in the game. Another one of the favorite names in the pro scene is shroud and as far as I know, he also joined Liquid but they don't have any games right now.

You said it yourself, LOL players are even playing this game, which means they can adapt to it quickly since it is easier to play. Either way, META is changing for one good reason, to make the game fair and fun.

Though the problem here is that sometimes they are making some characters or agents OP which is being abused by some players and I think that makes the game bad since people could just spam that and bring himself to the top while those players that are actually knowing the game, trying different characters that are not even in this "META" are not that popular.

For example, the Goats META on Overwatch, that really destroyed the game. It did not make the game more difficult for normal players, even pro players dropped the game because of that. Why? Because there are these players that abused that META. Yeah, they studied, they grind for that META, but just that META while those players that trained for Damage dealers began to fall down and so close to being unusable in that game. That is just sad. I know it is the fault of the developers but if these players really wanted to develop their skills, they will not be abusing that. Just like Dendi's fountain hook.

Also, another thing is that not all of the changes are amazing. For example, the new patch in Valorant improved Guardian though it will not be a META since there are other guns that could do better like Marshal with the cheaper price still and with the same armor penetration, it is usable in the earlier rounds and when you desperately need a round to win and the team's economy is not that great but still, for those players that are reading this: MASTER USING THE SHERIFF, IT IS OP!

It's a riot game, those people who are playing league get interested in playing Valorant even they're not good at FPS. Riot games is good at making the game very popular and it already has a name on the gaming industry. It became popular it's because popular streamers approved this game like Shroud who's good at different kinds of FPS games.

They say it's easier than CS:GO because of the recoils of the gun and has a different fire rate but for me, the game is becoming more complex as people already know those basics and we can't use that to win the game. Every patch or update, meta changes and it makes the game difficult and requires to think another strategy like bluffing the enemies so I guess, games have it owns difficulties on their own.

To make it clear, this game is easier than CSGO which is one of the most popular FPS in esports.

Everyone is streaming it because 1.) it is a new game and 2.) because it is easier so it is easier for them to make plays that their viewers would love to watch and make them popular in a way. Usually, the most popular game is mostly played to gather viewers.

@FlightPouch already said this, you could just check these sites out.

Yup. Unfortunately I've seen only 'match winner' markets so far and only pre-match betting.
I hope they will work on that, because I love both watching and playing it.
I never thought that something will get me so hooked after 1.6
There are even some matches you can bet on right now at thunderpick.

I can see lot of YouTube streamers are playing valorant game in the recent days which means this game also have some fan base so definitely in future we can see lot of tournaments related to this game which eventually makes more gambling site includes this game into their betting options.

I guess you're talking about T1 formerly named as SKT T1 or SK telecom T1.
You can also check TSM, they're great, the meta breakers of valorant and defeated T1 on a recent tournament which is the T1 x Nerd Street Gamers Showdown.
T1 compose of pro players that have a lot of experience and already been in CS:GO pro scene. TSM is also the same, but the difference is, they always think up new strategies that no one is familiar with.

Some of the betting platforms on the link you shared are crypto-based especially Stake and gg.bet, I'm not familiar with betway.

I guess he doesn't know or he used the wrong word. NBA is not cancelled, they are even planning to resume the season. We could say it is postponed since it might be understood that the season is done when we use the term cancelled. Either way, I hope the safety of each player and I will understand if they postponed again the continuation of the season.

I guess we will be sticking to esports for sometime now.

really nba is still canceled ? i though some matches were resumed before . itl be bad to some because majority of the bettors are into it than compare to esport games like this  but its okay for you so that you wont spend money  . esports can be a great altnernative to bet on when classic sports games are not yet operational   . its so fast that new game like this do now have its own tourna , but why would they do that when the game could still be buggy since its still new  

You should check this article for these betting sites where it is available for you to bet on Valorant.

As far as I know, there are a lot of tournaments lined up for this game so I think we should really talk about Tier 1 team and players that we could bet on.

https://liquipedia.net/valorant/Main_Page

I really hope this is the case.

It is good that the NBA is canceled since I can save right now some of the money that I should've used to bet if there are games right now. Though my urge to bet is also getting bad so I stick to some online games, usually Dota 2 and CSGO. This game still needs to be developed since there are still a lot of bugs but I do want to bet on it since there are tournaments that happened the past few weeks.

I don't now if valorant will get as a big as CSGO. There is a huge hype at the moment and many streamers switched games. Who knows how long this is going to continue. As for betting there wasn't really a big market when APEX Legends came out, people where hyped too but in the end no real market materialized. So far watching valorant games on twitch is fun and enteraining. I really hope it stays around.

Did you actually bet yet on a game?

Valorant is awesome, it reminds me cs 1.6 when it comes to mechanics and weapon recoil.
As for betting I've seen that Thunderpick is offering bets on valorant matches.
So far I've seen only few, but once scene grows and more tournaments will appear it will surely become better.
TBH I believe that the game can get as big as CSGO

In fact, due to the limited number of sports betting sites their demand is much lower and they are not listed in the market However, the number of competitors has increased and various companies are supporting it. But becoming popular will take some time It will take time to launch different communities to be newly listed.

It's no longer a rumor Valorant will be included in betting sites, but there are already betting sites like Loot.bet that have already
entered Valorant in the list. And I am sure that in the near future will be listing on many other betting sites, because Valorant's
popularity is increasing. This is thanks to the promotions conducted by RIOT games which have proven to be effective, I have tried
playing Valorant several times and it is worth trying for those who have never played it.

I don't know where are you looking but the community of it is actually growing quickly. The game itself can be played in not that powerful PCs so it will be quickly adapted by gamers all over the world. It is one of the most-streamed games right now on Twitch and I doubt that this community is still small. There is no doubt that it will be added to betting sites.

It is only a matter of time before they hit in betting sites. But they are already showing promising audience for this game so I won't be surprised if in case very soon they will hit in esports betting sites. eSports is really booming even during this pandemic.

Dude, betting site's doesn't mainly use the community as their basis if they would support a game to have bet or not. It still depends if the game is good enough and have different idea compared to other games. Even Fortnite and Apex Legends were still unaccepted by various betting platforms even they have huge community already. I think, what makes them be accepted is that if the game has something or some feature that outstand the other games, and their tournaments gain so much hype. For now, while there is still pandemic, I don't think there would be a chance for Valorant to have huge tournaments or be gambled online, until the pandemic ends..

Valorant is a game that have attracted a lot of people in their community.
However, the community is still small.
If the community is not going to be bigger then there will be no betting activity for Valorant from the book makers.

As of the moment, Valorant still needs to fix tons of bugs, especially in their maps and characters. Eventually, they are already in to Esports and soon, will enter esports betting just like CSGO. While playing Valorant, I noticed that it is kind of having the same feel with the economy of CSGO, skills of League of legends, and ambience of Overwatch. With such a combination of experience, we can expect more players to engage in Valorant Community, which will mean that sports betting with this game will be fun.

When it comes on creating something new then game developers would really have that idea on mind on creating that hasnt been found nor exist on the current market.

When i tried to check out the game this is really a combination of CSGO and overwatch  but we cant really deny the fact that there are players whom do stick out to the games

that they've been used to.

Im sure that there are bookies that do offer this one but most in fiat based bookies for now but pretty sure this would be available soon in crypto bookies as well.

I've also tried it out and it's very different. Like they were trying to take some features from overwatch and add it to a standard CS game.

The levels seem more tight and a little bit more boring than those from CS, there also seems to be more hackers. It will probably gather its fair share of fans.

Yeah definitely more games will be disovered and will become new trend. I have been seeing it since I am a fan of counter strike where it goes online games and others started to bet and win rounds in the games. After that I have been seeing also warcraft to which it became trend. After the counterstrike and warcraft, dota, dota, crossfire and other known rpg games like ran, ragnarok, mu to modern warfare and etc.

So basically these are subject for esports but for now dota2 is more establish with mobile legend as its counterpart with same stratetigic building items in differebt heroes.

This really depends on how the platform handle the game itself.

CSGO, LoL ad Dota 2 are there for a long period of time now and they are still one of the most popular esports game in the world. Tekken is also a thing the same with other fighting games out there. Valorant is a game developed based on the two games, CSGO and Overwatch. They developed something that counters these two games.

We will be seeing more games in the future that's for sure but that is different since this is a game expected to be something else.

But who knows how long this trend will continue. It's mostly streamers swichting from games like Fortnite, Pubg, Apex, etc. It's not really new players who haven't played before now starting to play because of Valorant. Likely we will see another game coming out in 6 month and then the players start shifting again. It's really hard for a game to be around for a long period of time.
On twitch at the moment even Call of Duty has more viewers than Valorant - not mention Mobas such as LoL.

Its funny how theybname it operator, it is like a pun to the awp of CSGO that way it can still be called AWP or OP.



T1 is a good team with brax and ska in it but they can't defeat a full roster ex-pros CSGO players of TSM. Also, it is said that Wardell might be the face of Valorant, like simple of CSGO, or maybe Faker of LoL. I guess TSM is worth to be observed in their next matches. I also thought Team Liquid created a team with shroud, what happened with it?

They lessen the recoil of each gun, spots in some map is easier for a snipe user(Operator).

There's a recent bug on Reyna where she can plant inside the platform. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I8KBMuApVs but it's already fixed.

Anyways, it's a good game, gathering intel at first and then action. In the eSports side, I'm looking forward to the team TSM and T1, I watched their gameplays and it looks promising for them to win the championship. Might look into 'em if someone wants to bet on this game.

I tried downloading this game last month and I can't really stop playing until now. As you said, you can easily one tap enemies right away especially if you are using the vandal or the phantom. Another thing is that most of the time you don't need to spray so if you are a new player, you don't need to memorize the spray quickly.

Every agents are fun to use but the thing here is that there are still bugs in the game that should be taken care of by the developers. That is important if they will be in the esports.

Yes, I noticed that too.

It's much easier than CS:GO even they have complex mechanics by putting skills on the characters. It's not that really hard to 1-tap the enemy through headshot, you just need an IPS monitor and good mouse for fast reaction. So definitely, it'll be one of those eSports betting that will hit the market and people will like this game and bet on this.

You'll see a lot of streamers of FPS games switching to Valorant these days, as we know it is hot as a newly baked pancake, just like every games does every launch. I started playing Valorant last week and I can say is that it is really a CS:GO type of FPS with added skill,  I already mentioned it before. I've been following NRG Aceu FPS game player in youtube for like months now, I've watch him dominate the Apex Legends and twitch rivals, now he's playing valorant and it seems like he's totally in switched from Apex to Valorant. It's been a while since I watched him play Apex legends.

Well, it is a new game and they really slammed CSGO since they released at the time that SG is still the meta and CSGO pros are so mad about it since teams are spamming this gun. As Valorant release was a success, CSGO nerfed the gun. A streamer said reaction to this is that, "now they will be doing that because of Valorant". Take note though, its been some time before they nerfed the SG.

Another thing is that it is an easier game than CS so people would actually dig this, for the moment.

Actually, it's very popular now, the same hype with CS:GO.

Riot is good at advertising their games through cinematics and it's very effective since many Asian people are now playing it. Most of the CS:GO players are from EU and some in NA, while Valorant dominated all of the regions and very popular in streaming platforms like Twitch. Some CS:GO ex-pros are now pro-player again in Valorant like Skadoodle who's a teammate of shroud during CS:GO days in C9. 

It will be added if it gets popular like CSGO but we've seen other games fail to rank due to variety of games already out there with the same type. I guess it will be tough to compete against core games that has been out there and manage to gain community and supporters. And depending on demand sports betting site cannot randomly add games without number of people requesting it.

Many are conducting tournaments in Valorant, whether it's "official" or not. It can be done by a lot of gaming companies and even small time group of gamers, especially amidst this pandemic, which would make online tournaments be their only options. It is already hot on the gaming community and a lot of stucked-in-pandemic gamers are trying Valorant and enjoying it, hence no wonder it was already popular the day it was released.

In my own opinion, Valorant wouldn't be adopted that early by gambling platforms. Even Fortnite nor Apex Legends had limited to none betting activites, yet only famous in tournaments and streaming platforms. I guess the reason why it is rare to have bets in such games is that they are just rip-offs of the famous CSGO. If they would have a feature that would be unique in their game, they might have a chance to be addicted by most of people.

The game looks like CS:GO and Overwatch had an ugly baby. I played a few matches but didn't enjoy it.

Considering it's Riot Games game there should be some big tournaments coming.

So hard to be honest.

There are a lot of professionals from CSGO that are quickly adapting the game but most of them said that Valorant will never be able to take down CSGO. As Summit1G watched a video that most of the places of this maps in this game are so claustrophobic. Still, a lot of players are enjoying this game since it is easier than CSGO. The best part here is that it can still be played by those players with not that much powerful PCs gathering more players.

Valorant, just seen this game's gameplay on youtube which is similar to battlefield game like COD but I don't like it too much to be honest because this just same as other existing games.Maybe this game also will get popular due to its light weight layout model.

Do they have official tournaments? This will make them more popular than tournaments conducted by random websites.

There are tournaments already ready for Valorant. Check the liquipedia page for most updates for completed, ongoing and upcoming tournaments. This is a good game to catch up for those who are good pointers and players in FPS games like CSGO and become professional on this game.
One sample of on going tournament.

There are more them just browse on that page.

New game.

I also playing VELORANT right now, there still has some minor bug from the game and need to be fixed. Just like @shroud said about this game, RIOTS make a faster decision to release this game really fast after the beta phase. If we see on the game perspective, I don't know why VELORANT hitbox or something like that's was better than CSGO. I playing both of this game, but CSGO aim and hitbox harder than VELORANT.

The question here is that will there be a tournament?

As far as I know, there is a tournament that happened though I don't know who won. CSGO pros are loving the game so I think we might be seeing more players gathering around this new game. If this will be added to esports, then we will not be doubting this to be in a lot of betting sites. Though I think we will see ex-CSGO pros here.

Erm, a few betting sites already have Valorant on its list. A few I could name is Loot.bet and unikrn. And it isn't surprising, RIOT surprisingly developed the game pretty well and since the combined elements of Overwatch and cs:go plus some additional here and there, it really is a fun game. I've had my fair share with it and it truly revitalizes your will to play fps games, especially if you've been playing cs:go for a long time and is starting to get bored of it or is starting to look for something similar. And unlike other games, It can easily be considered as an Esports game because of how similar it comes off with cs:go.

Also became curious though, recently, few of colleagues started to play this game as an alternative for CS GO. While being one of the hottest game in todays' news, they are continuously making a discussion which players of CS GO are migrating to Valorant. They sent a link containing a list of pro players specifically in CS GO.

[1] https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/valorant-still-cs-go-pros-move-onto-hot-new-shooter-riot

It is one of the most popular games being streamed right now, thousands are now playing it since it is easier to play than CSGO. I heard a streamer said that if players are used to CSGO, they can quickly adapt the game and that is why most of the professionals of CSGO are playing the game to be the next pros of this game. As far as I know, we have the first tournament of it and most of them are CSGO pros and as far as I know, Subroza is there.

Wardell is said to be the future face of Valorant, who is a CSGO pro. When the tournaments pop up, and it was considered as an esport, obviously it will be added in betting sites, but I know some sites are already in it.

It would still need more years for these kind of games to be listed out on esport betting sites.I havent tested out Valorant yet but it looks like it is something that is worthy to try on. Ive been playing Apex Legends for a while now and Overwatch.
I did make up some research and Valorant is already listed out on popular bettings sites like https://loot.bet/sport/esports/valorant and you can also find it here
https://gg.bet/en/betting/?tournamentIds[]=gin%3A26c29b2f-ce1a-4e21-89a8-738346106337

This might not involved with crypto though but if you are really interested on making up some bets then this would do just fine.

there is no doubt. once Valorant's community grew enough for organizer and sponsors to notice that they could profit from them then it is just a matter of time before they create tournaments fro Valorant and when that happens it will also be just a matter of time before sports betting site includes Valorant into their list of eSports that you can bet on.

Bookies would need some more professional teams to form and at least a tournament going on to add this game IMO. Currently they would have no idea how to calculate odds. Players in Valorant don't even have that long of a match history. Thankfully for them RIOT is already making match history and leaderboards public much like in lol, so it'll be easy to study that at least. However, it might take at least half a year until a pro league can form. And don't forget that the pandemic is still ongoing in the US so in-person events might be off for at least until after the summer. Which means that tourneys are also off to smaller revenues due to no ticket sales etc. It's a good time for starting a new game in terms of online viewers and/or a player base but not the best time to create a pro scene.

Bookies that we know and love currently might include lines for Valorant tourneys once the game is ironed out for its competitive scene. It got its ranked match recently enabled and perhaps before the end of the first ranked season, that is when we'll be seeing some tournament popping off. If popular organizations like ESL and Starladder starts organizing tournaments for the game, it's a no-brainer that sports bookies follow suit and follow the hype that is lingering around the game.

This is what also think of with Valorant, since it is created by the same company, Riot games, there is so much potential in it to play in competitive stage. And I've seen some streamers jumping for CS:GO to Valorant, maybe it is new but the gameplay of it is actually good with added various skills to your hero, not just fighting with a gun so strategy is wider than CS:GO. Basically Valorant is a mix of Apex Legends ( EA ) and CS:GO (Valve) good job Riot.

I didn't know this, can you spill some of it? I wanna know the teams 

Knowing that it's developed by the same company that made league of legends there's potential for sure but they still need time for their competitive scene to grow since most of the players are coming from CSGO.

Few betting sites already have Valorant markets offered but it's only limited to match winners. Once bigger tournaments get announced in the future, we'll probably get to see them in several bookies.

Yes, Valorant is a new game but this isn't just a new game that just launched but the debut of it was outstanding for real. I've seen them at the top of liquipedia.net being at the left side of Dota 2 which makes it the first and most visible game if ever someone visits the website. Although, it the place of it has been adjusted but being a new game and was already included in this website makes it something special.

I haven't played the game but I've seen highlights, advertisements, and videos for this game which shows that they are very active to promote the game. I've seen also that some esports management has made their teams for Valorant that has been in the professional scene for other games.

I'll be with the same thoughts that it will be included by the bookmakers soon and that's just a matter of time.

Valorant esports is starting to have a rumor about making it into a betting sites. It is a new game where you can feel like playing a CS:Go with some new strategies and gameplay. Just like the other games, we all know that when a team compete with other teams, tournament can become a number 1 priority.

Just like some other Esports, Valorant is a new game that is popping and it is trending right now in a gaming industry. It is not yet known just like League of Legends, Dota 2, CS:Go and other games that can be used in a betting sites.

But I believe that this game has a potential to become included in those gambling esports betting sites, i'm not that sure.

I know that soon, this game will be classified as one of the best fps Esports game that has a betting options just like CS:GO.

I'm hoping that once there is a gambling esports betting site that includes Valorant in their platform, it is safe and fair just like other Esports games.   What are your thoughts?
