Esports disciplines make serious competition to traditional sports, and bookmakers respond to this by adding esports events to the line. CS:GO is among the three most popular disciplines, with an audience of more than 10 million worldwide.
A real boom in betting on CS:Go falls in 2013, that is, just a year after the release of the game. At this time, skins for the game appeared, which in some countries are even perceived as material value, and therefore players could sell or buy them. Skins are various themes for the design of a computer game that add uniqueness and individuality to it.
Offices began to appear where players could put skins from the game to play roulette, blackjack or bet on the outcome of esports events. The offices were controversial because they did not adhere to the norms of the law, allowing everyone to play, including underage gamers. At the same time, legitimate bookmakers lost the competition, not allowing players under the age of 18 to bet and accepting only money.
To date, many of these offices are banned, as the legislation in the betting and gambling industry is becoming more and more developed.
CS:GO tournaments.
In general, according to CS:GO hosts many tournaments, both regional and international, but the cappers for betting choose the most prestigious. This category includes "Majors" (ESL One, FACEIT, PGL, etc.). The geography of the competition may vary, so pay attention to the prize pool. By the way, the largest prize pool is played at the annual World Esports Games (WESG). Top bookmakers reflect the most prestigious tournaments in the line, but offices with a roll on esports also add less publicized events.
