5 ways to bet on fast esports tournaments
COVID-19 has impacted many industries, including sports.
A lack of traditional sports betting events, the closing and postponing of sports matches have forced operators to seek a solution that will help them keep the lights on.
Long story short: the esports industry was there to help.
In 2020, worldwide revenues generated in the esports market amounted to $950 million. It is expected that by 2023 esports will generate almost $1.6 billion. Consequently, this growth turned the attention of the majority of sportsbooks to esports. Global betting operators have started to increase the number of esports events on their websites.
For instance, the number of ESportsBattle matches streamed by one of the leading betting operators has increased x 3 from December 2020 to May 2021.
Previously being the choice of the smaller proportion of sportsbooks’ audience, today esports is the front runner of the betting industry and bears fruits. Bettors got more opportunities to bet on their favorite esports events and teams, and earn more. It is noteworthy to mention that the audience of traditional esports such as CS:GO also rises.
This is evidenced by the number of ESportsBattle | CS:GO audience. It increased x7 from January to June 2021.
So, what are the 5 most popular ways to make money on fast esports 24/7 tournaments?

Conduct your own research
Grantland Rice said, “It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.” Teams or individual players that you’ve chosen to bet on determine whether you win or lose. So, it’s true: before placing bets, you need to conduct your own research to discover the strengths and weaknesses of teams and players. Thus you’ll get an idea of how a game will go. Picking only the best player or team to bet on is always a wrong strategy. But having a birds-eye view of esports and betting in a non-bias way based on what you know about players and teams can help increase your chance of winning money.

Know industry trends
Esports is a fast-paced industry. New teams constantly appear in the world rankings, other teams split up, fresh blood players enter the market, etc. If you want to win, you need to be aware of the industry status quo and changes. Don’t get blindsided by new players joining tournaments and unsettling your strategy. You also don’t need to bet on a team because you know its strengths, only to find out later that they’ve replaced half of their squad. When it comes to winning money on esports betting, knowledge is power.

Bet on fast content
Just think about it: rules of games and duration of the matches in classic sports have not changed for years, and not every bettor is interested in watching 90 minutes of football. Let’s say a person has only 15 minutes and wants to place a bet on the whole match, and it includes watching the game, checking the result, and getting a quick calculation of a bet.
Some platforms and organizers hold quick matches and provide fast content for betting, for instance, ESportsBattle. Fast commercial 24/7 tournaments of ESportsBattle are popular with bettors in more than 150 countries. The organizers of ESB tournaments hold up to 10 events simultaneously and more than 15K matches/month with an average match duration of 12 minutes. The fact is, efootball is one of the most popular tournaments globally. The number of ESportsBattle efootball tournament views has significantly increased in 2020: from 4M in June to 22M in December.

Choose your game
With traditional sports, everything is clear: mostly, sports bettors are people who just love sports. But with esports everything is a little bit different, esports bettors are young people who grew up in the era of CS:GO, Dota 2, Valorant, etc. Consequently, this newborn audience of gamers and fans has generated a demand for such content among betting operators. Thus, sportsbooks must distinguish between traditional sports, console sports, and esports. These are three distinct areas with entirely different target audiences.
Today the popularity of the CS:GO discipline is snowballing. The monthly number of CS:GO matches on the ESportsBattle platform has increased from 549 in 2020 to 2,214 in 2021.

Bet on the outcome of the game, or just choose your favorite event
Each esports discipline has its characteristics that betting companies take into account. It means that bettors have lots of options in esports betting: they can bet on match results, win/draw/lose outcome of team/player, etc. It is possible to bet on the results of an entire tournament or in ‘live’ (when the match is already underway).
Due to the numerous events that ESportsBattle offers, you bet on multiple matches of various disciplines simultaneously and get fast results.

DuelBits says UFC creator campaign delivers 122m verified video views
DuelBits has published results from its JUSTIN2026 marketing campaign, saying the UFC-focused activation generated more than 122 million verified video views and contributed to one of the company’s strongest MMA betting events “in recent years.”
The crypto sportsbook and casino operator said the campaign launched ahead of UFC event Freedom 250 at the White House and centred on former UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje. DuelBits framed the partnership as an early bet on Gaethje, before broader commercial interest.
According to the company, the campaign set a KPI to exceed 100 million impressions across owned, paid and partnered media, and ultimately delivered more than 122 million verified clip views via a network of more than 140 creators. The asset mix included a hero film, six short-form cutdowns, behind-the-scenes content and still imagery, distributed via DuelBits’ social channels, MMA publishers, creator partnerships and clipping pages.
DuelBits said the hero content was also integrated into Gaethje’s “Art of Violence” YouTube series. The operator added that the activation drove promotional code engagement and helped convert attention into sportsbook activity.
Jasper Hoekert, Chief Marketing Officer at Duelbits, said: “We wanted to support Justin before everyone else recognised the opportunity. Instead of following the hype once he has already achieved greatness, we wanted to back a champion before anybody else did.
“The campaign wasn’t measured purely on views. Of course, surpassing 122 million verified views and exceeding our 100 million KPI was a huge achievement, but the real success was seeing that attention convert into one of our strongest UFC betting nights in recent years.
“It also reinforced something that’s key to DuelBits as a brand, which is that we don’t do small campaigns. Whether it’s the production quality, creator network, or distribution strategy, we want every activation to show what’s possible when sportsbook marketing is treated like premium entertainment.”

Slotegrator now provides native app experience for iGaming platforms with PWA function
Slotegrator’s platform solution now offers progressive web app (PWA) functionality, enabling operators to provide installable casino apps with push notifications, flexible branding, and seamless access across changing domains.
The Casino Builder module in Slotegator’s platform solution has been upgraded with a Progressive Web Application (PWA) feature that allows casinos to deliver an app-like experience without relying on the App Store or Google Play.
Native apps are powerful tools for building customer loyalty and enhancing engagement. However, iGaming brands face serious obstacles, such as strict marketplace policies, long review processes, geographic restrictions, and the constant threat of app removal. Slotegrator’s PWA functionality eliminates these barriers, allowing players to install a casino app directly from their browser and enjoy many of the same benefits as a native app.
After installation, the PWA opens from the user’s home screen, loads fast, and supports push notification integration that enhances player engagement and retention.
“Mobile is still the leading channel for user acquisition and retention; however, it’s difficult to distribute native apps in iGaming,” says Olga Ivanchik, COO at Slotegrator. “Our new PWA feature gives operators an alternative that will be familiar to their players, while eliminating the complications related to conventional app stores. Operators can launch quickly, retain full control over updates, and ensure a perfect mobile gaming experience for any market.”
Within the next 2 months, operators will also have the ability to determine when the PWA install bar will be visible to the player. For example, displaying the install bar immediately after the first deposit, as part of a broader retention strategy, helps drive long-term player LTV. The operator can also set up frequency of the install offer — daily, weekly, just once, etc.
Some operators have to consider UX for multiple frontends. Luckily, the installation widgets are highly flexible, helping them drive maximum conversion without sacrificing user experience. Operators can select a top bar or a top banner installation widget, both of which are fully customizable with branded icons, messaging, and backgrounds.
Operators can limit the visibility of their installation campaigns to specific devices — desktop, mobile, Android, or iOS — thanks to special targeting options. Operators can also design acquisition strategies specific to each platform, driving installs only where they offer the best user experience.
When players install the PWA, operators can connect it to push notification services, so they can re-engage them even when the application isn’t actively open.
Mirror domain compatibility addresses a common operational challenge in restricted markets. If an operator has to change domains due to licensing or regulatory requirements, players who have already installed the PWA will be able to continue using it without reinstallation.
Unlike native applications, PWAs don’t require App Store or Google Play approval, effectively eliminating possible delays and the risk of removal from the market. Instead, operators can deploy updates instantly to every user.
The new PWA functionality is now available in Slotegrator’s Casino Builder module, alongside other tools for improving mobile acquisition, engagement, and player retention.
