When it comes to the best Skrill betting sites, I’m sure you’ve had more than enough spammy recommendations for two lifetimes. I feel you, many bettors are interested in betting with Skrill and who wouldn’t: faster processing times when cashing out, lower minimum deposits and increased account security are very tempting reasons to forget about that credit card.
However, picking a website is difficult. Let me tell you why:
Currently, the industry is in its growth stage, with annual revenues breaking the $1,5 billion dollar mark.
Just in 2016, there have been over 10,000 professional tournaments with tens of millions of dollars in prize money. We even broke a few world records - 46 million people tuned in to watch IEM Katowice in February 2017.
All things considered, 2017 in eSports has kicked off just right. Don’t get me wrong — we are still getting warmed up for the biggest tournaments of the year, despite the fact that we’ve already seen some pretty big things happening in the industry.
In today’s post, we are going to go over some of the more interesting things that have shaped this year so far, so let’s jump right in.
It was exactly three weeks ago when we decided to do something of greater good to the eSports betting community and, after 10 minutes of NSFW ideas involving Trump and unicorns, we came up with an instant winner: why don’t we just poll our visitors and see how they ended up betting on eSports.
Because, let’s face it - analytics are good and all but they’re not telling you the story of real people, traveling through miscellaneous websites on their way to their next adrenaline fix.
Which is basically what this website teaches you to do, through betting on your favorite video game.
But does a betting website have to just be about busting out countless match predictions and praying to God that your readers will not take revenge if they lose money?
No. On the contrary.
We conducted a poll on visitors from United States, Canada, Sweden, Germany, Portugal, Brazil, Australia and Poland. Have in mind that we are a fairly new website so we had to settle on these countries and a limited, but statistically relevant, sample of 1,000 unique users.
We asked our Troopers (that’s what we call our visitors, crazy, I know) an open-ended and anonymous question:
How did you get started with eSports betting?
Soon enough, the replies started rolling in. Read more →

Disclaimer: the strategies used in this guide are for informational purposes only. We do not promise rainbows and unicorns.
If you’re like most of us then you have searched for CSGO betting predictions on more than one occasion.
What you found was a bunch of tipsters and promises, but not a lot of tangible information that you can trust.
Trust me, this happens all the time.
CSGO is one of the most competitive games in eSports. Right now, there are more than 2,000 tournaments in a year, with a total of 4,500 professional players.
And that can be overwhelming.
Hence, many of us have, at one point, decided to take a shortcut and follow someone else’s tips instead of spending time analyzing the matches ourselves.
Don’t get me wrong, there are good tipsters out there. But in my own experience, there are also a lot of scammers.

Today I’m going to show you how you contributed to the massive growth of competitive gaming in 2016.
But let me just get one thing out first:
I feel bad for people who missed out on all of the excitement that we had this year.
Even though we can all agree that it was a pretty bad year for the world (with the global political situation and stuff) I can confidently say that it was a kick ass year for eSports.
Esports Championship Series (ECS) Season 2 Finals are taking place between December 9-11 in the Anaheim Arena, US. The tournament features 8 teams from North America and Europe and a pretty decent $750,000 prize pool.
In this post, we are going to primarily explore the form of all 8 teams ahead of the ECS Season 2 Finals.
This means that you’ll get:

Another day, another exciting tournament wrapped up. Simply put, IEM Oakland 2016 was a blast.
We blazed through the playoffs, staying up all night and tracking everything that was going on in the community. To recap:
The mighty NiP are back in style, after a three month break. They won the tournament (along with a $125,000 check) by defeating SK in the finals (2-1).
The tournament MVP is f0rest from NiP, despite the strong competition by Coldzera and Taco, who both played incredibly well throughout the entire event.
The next stop for our CSGO addiction is ELeague, which will prove as a revenge platform for teams who found themselves disappointed. Expect SK to pick up the pace there as well.

IEM Gyeonggi: We’re Taking Over Football Stadiums Now!
Gyengoi.
Geygongoi.
Guggongi.
Just a sec…
Gyeonggi is a province in South Korea with a population of over 12 million.
11,5 million of those are apparently professional gamers but there are a few that are not into gaming, as I’ve heard.
For the uneducated ones, South Korea is the biggest shrine of our world.
A place where gamers go on a pilgrimage and pay respects to the legends, such as Faker, Mvp, Life and several others.
It is also a place that is soon to be the epicentre of ESL’s LoL, SC 2 and Overwatch tournament — IEM Gyeonggi 2016. Read more →
