Yes you make some valid points. eSports are not as timeless as other sports. You may still good some interest in your 30s, say 40s? But further? It would be hard. Plus many of the stars got really bored and started hating how stressful competitive gaming is.

But I think the real issue was that it was all make-believe. eSports were getting huge funding while not being profitable. The companies making the games were pushing it a lot and on top of that there were tons of sponsors. The economy of eSpoets had yet to find balance. I think some leagues continue to have funding issues and the payment for teams has been reduced drastically. I wonder if most of them are still profitable though. They come and go too fast these days. It seems as if even the best teams depend a lot on a handful of big sponsors that they might have been doomed without.

It's no surprise that eSports betting are getting popular now, especially for online games which now have a million dollar winning prize. I do place bets in eSports leagues for more than a year now and there's really a lot of professional gamers in different game leagues. Though there's only few games are known such as Dota 2, CS:GO, Valorant but I've seen there are some other eSports like Mortal Kombat, Rocket League, etc. that was also available but was not that popular to gamblers.

For sure to the largest extent I would blame the organizations because they have too large of a piece of the pie of the blame in this matter. For example making players too stressed and no longer interested in the game is a big issue because esport clubs don't have an agelong history and naturally people are going to fixate on the players not the club. If players are quitting all the time, as the big wave of resignations of pros that came around 2018, then yeah ofc viewership will keep dropping after a certain point. You can only keep attracting so many new viewers. But there are limits. So the clubs have large part of this responsibility.

Sportsbetting is already a big thing even before and E-sports are not new on them either but no doubt that it contribute a lot, especially during the rise of smartphones because they are now capable of running a "triple A" game. You know they are cheap and provides more comfortability, no wonder why their demand are much higher now compared to traditional PC's and laptop.

It's a bad thing once we didn't met our expectations but this is not the case that happens to sports betting. They won't grow huge like this if it's true that they did not attract a lot of clients. With the exposure they have now and the continuous growth of gambling, I'm very sure that they can get more clients.

The sports betting industry is growing, and they are targeting new segments via eSports (younger people, video game fans) and women's leagues (girls, feminists...) that historically did not fall into their target audience.

I don't mean that this is good or bad. It is what it is: they do not only attract clients in the present, but they also aim to secure clients for the future.

I played Country Strike before the old school one which is 1.3 and I can say I was hooked to it for like 5 years of my life. We also play betting games 3x3 where the loser will pay the rent for the computer shop and then another $2 for each player. But now, I rarely play it and I like MMORPG more than it.
Still, from that moment I can say there are a lot of skilled players especially now where some players are making it their careers.
It's cool that they added CS:Go in betting platforms because this will somehow minimize the illegal ways of betting and maybe it could provide more funds for the game and more players will try to get better at it because more money is coming in.
I think this is just the start of the booming industry. Very soon there will be more good games that will come out with the technology growing.

And I hope many betting websites or applications include esports betting because there not much of betting websites or application that is offering esports betting, in short a few only betting apps has that services, because I really want to bet I esports but the thing is its only limited to selected betting websites, because the gaming community is a big community so I'm sure many gamers that watches tournaments related to game would be attracted to place bets, especially me, because I'm into online games and I'm really looking for betting apps that has esports Bettings and also the volume o available games, even though there are few betting games that offer esports, there are only few available tournaments and I notice that its only limited to those popular tournaments like in valorant or DOTA. So I hope esports betting will become more popular and expanded so that many gamers will enjoy the fun and thrilling betting in games.

About the corruption you mentioned, you are right that these players are kids and it must be very easy to buy them, but I wouldn't call it so. In the end, this is how big businesses work. What worries me is the future of so many kids who dedicate their best years to playing instead of studying, and fail to win million-dollar prizes to ensure their future.

Esports have become one of the fastest rising betting markets in the world. There are several factors for this, including the advent of cryptocurrency in sports betting markets, which makes eSports betting something that every handicapper should check out. See below for the top factors that has led to the rise of eSports gambling along with its strong connection to crypto sportsbooks.

Esports Betting is on the Rise
It’s all about data
The issue with traditional sports, from both a bookmaker’s point of view and the point of view of a sports bettor, has to do with data. For example, data regarding what happens on a football field must first collate and then be distributed in a specific manner.

A running back that gallops for a 70 yard touchdown doesn’t consider missed tackles or some other strange occurrence during the run. All the data says is “70 yard TD” and that’s it. But in eSports, the data is not only instantaneous, but it’s exact.

For example, while checking out an eSports League of Legends match, the data regarding which team has won the game flows while the game is being played. Gamblers must look back to see what happened.

There are also plenty of games to choose from including League of Legends, Call of Duty, Dota 2, Valorant, King Pro, Rainbow Six, and Counterstrike CS:GO. The plethora of games is expanding.

eSports broadcast outlets are expanding
It’s becoming easier and easier to check out eSports matches. Twitch and YouTube both show esports matches live. Organizations like Riot Games, which runs League of Legends and Valorant, broadcasts matches on Twitch.TV.

The Call of Duty League, EA’s hope to replace the now defunct Overwatch League, broadcasts on both Twitch.TV and YouTube Gaming. The COD League has quickly become North America’s favorite league.

The Call of Duty League 2024 Championships begin this summer on June 11. Make sure to mark your calendars as EA is all in on the highest grossing video game of all time.

In fact, something that started very timidly with just a few tournaments is now widespread with several contests and sites that accept bets on different games.
The ones that I have seen the most popularity are Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas like Dota 2 and LoL.
Shooter games such as CS:GO, Overwatch, Valorant and Call of Duty have also grown a lot.

However, there are several others such as Card Games such as Hearthstone and Magic and of course sports simulators such as FIFA, NBA 2K and PES

Anyway.... actually, it's just to create a relevant tournament on the world stage and soon a website appears to list the betting possibilities on it.

I think right now we are experiencing the fall of eSports betting rather than the rise of it. Though 2019 to now so many good players resigned, became free agents or entire teams disbanded. It's ridiculous to see that for them there is better money in streaming rather than being in a team.

The sponsors and the gaming companies have reduced the money they invest in tournaments too much. Of course now there are more tournaments but the quality has reduced drastically along with the budget and the rewards. Many tournaments these days even don't have any rewards. The golden era was around 2013 to 2018 probably

You can also blame the organizations and the tournament bodies themselves with such a decline in the esports scene. Most of them have resorted to greed, and only a small portion of the profits from these events actually go into the pockets of players. Even I as a player would surely be demotivated if this is what's happening in the scene wherein I spent hundreds if not thousands of hours just to be good at.

I believe not. The rising popularity of ESports Betting is more because of the growing audience/interest in Esports, which makes those companies like NVidia support and sponsor many tournaments. Those companies would not sponsor tournaments of different games if there was no audience, and no growth potential.

They are also doing it for their own revenue and the advertisement of their company.

I haven't really ever got into exports betting or even watched it.  I can just see so much collusion and corruption if there is big money on any particular game I can see these players being easy to buy.  With corruption huge in all of sports this seems to be one that I can't bet into.  Has there been any serious documented thrown games in eSports?

There were a few cases(Dota, LoL, etc.) and luckily some players got away with a slap on the wrist. It's the same with most sports where it happens in the lower leagues because the prize pool is so low they're making more through fixing matches.
