Mainstream recognition of e-sports is helping to expand e-sports betting.

Incorporating Betting with Cryptocurrency: Cryptocurrency is quickly becoming the world of e-sports betting. More gamblers are becoming fascinated with digital currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum for its anonymity, rapid transaction speed, and significantly smaller fees. As such, modern e-sports betting sites must include payment through these mediums as a means to tap into a crypto-loving user base that would appreciate such cutting-edge features in their gambling needs. Cryptocurrency adoption is thus sure to accelerate in the space of e-sports betting when it is mainstreamed.

North America dominated the esports betting industry. The e-sports ecosystems of both the United States and Canada are mature, with a rapidly growing base of spectators, numerous professional participants, and numerous large-profile events. The region reaps benefits from having a sound regulatory framework, a well-developed online betting infrastructure, and high and pervasive internet penetration. Other key contributions to the North American market are also being made by major e-sports organizations and traditional gambling operators. The esports betting market in the United States have also provided an attractive environment for both operators and participants in further expanding the scope of e-sports betting.
