Blockchain Bets — E-sports and Crypto Gambling: A Perfect Pair

Validated Individual Expert

Introduction

The gaming landscape has been transformed by the rapid growth of E-sports over the past decade, and with the emergence of decentralised gambling, has led to a paradigm shift in how people engage with gaming and wagering activities across the globe.

E-sports, fuelled by the rising popularity of competitive video gaming, has caught the attention of millions of fans, providing them with a new, fresh and exciting form of entertainment. Simultaneously, the development of decentralised gambling platforms, underpinned by blockchain technology, has revolutionised the online gambling sector by offering players enhanced transparency, fairness, and security.

This article aims to delve into the convergence of these two markets, shedding light on the ways in which e-sports and decentralised gambling not only complement each other, but also drive mutual growth and innovation within their respective industries.

The Growth of E-sports

Over the past decade, E-sports has experienced exponential growth in popularity, viewership, and revenue. The rise of online gaming platforms, such as Twitch and YouTube, has facilitated the growth of E-sports and the gaming community. The competitive nature of E-sports has attracted a large number of fans and players worldwide.

Revenue

The global E-sports market is expected to reach $2.8 billion in revenue by 2028, up from $1.08b in 2022. The mobile gaming industry has also seen significant growth, as smartphones and tablets have become more powerful and affordable, allowing people to play games on the go. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated the growth of E-sports as people spent more time at home and sought out entertainment online. The industry has also seen significant investments from traditional sports teams, media companies, and tech giants.

Synergies

So, what are the synergies between E-sports and crypto gambling platforms? I’ve noted the ones I feel offer the greatest opportunities to thrive:

  1. Blockchain technology — $BCB provides a transparent and secure way to facilitate betting and gambling on E-sports events. By using cryptocurrencies and smart contracts, E-sports betting on $BCB ensures that bets are executed fairly and transparently.
  2. E-sports gambling — could potentially drive increased engagement and viewership for E-sports events. As more people bet on E-sports matches, they may be more likely to watch those events and follow the players and teams involved, and promoting them on their socials!
  3. Decentralisation — Both e-sports and crypto gambling have the potential to be decentralised, meaning they are not controlled by any single entity or organisation. This could lead to increased transparency, fairness, and security for players and fans.
  4. Innovation — Both E-sports and crypto gambling are innovative industries that are constantly evolving and pushing boundaries. By combining the two, there is potential for new and exciting products and services to be developed within the Blockchain Bets platform.
  5. Cryptocurrency adoption — The integration of E-sports and crypto gambling could help to drive mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies. As more people become familiar with using cryptocurrencies for E-sports betting, they may be more likely to use them for other purposes, such as staking $BCB tokens to own a part of the casino.
  6. New Betting Types: E-sports and crypto gambling could also create new types of betting opportunities that are not available in traditional sports betting. For example, players could bet on the outcomes of in-game events, such as the first team to get a headshot in Call of Duty.
  7. New Business Models: The integration of E-sports and crypto gambling could also create new business models for both industries. For example, E-sports organisations or teams could create their own $BCB smart contract bets to receive a % of the winning volume generated, which creates a new revenue stream for the sector.

Conclusion

The potential synergies between E-sports and crypto gambling are, in my opinion, just starting. As the industries continue to evolve, it will be interesting to see how they work together and create new opportunities for fans, players, and organisations. Blockchain Bets will no doubt be at the forefront of this with marketing campaigns, their smart contract create a bet system and a community fully engaged in embracing the E-Sports sector.

     Beijing Business Daily reported that at a press conference held by the Ministry of Public Security on January 10, it was announced that as of the end of 2024, more than 53,000 Chinese criminal suspects involved in telecommunications fraud in Myanmar's northern region have been arrested, and the "Four Major Families" criminal groups in Myanmar's northern region have been successfully destroyed. The Ministry of Public Security pointed out that although the crackdown has achieved significant results, the crime situation is still severe. Fraudulent groups are constantly upgrading their criminal tools using new technologies such as blockchain, virtual currency, and AI intelligence. These groups are well-organized and engage in illegal activities such as cross-border cooperation in app development, traffic diversion and promotion, and money laundering. Fraudsters tailor their scripts to target victims of different ages, professions, and educational backgrounds, and the victims are widespread. Although the telecommunications fraud park near the Chinese border in Myanmar's northern region has been cleared, there are still many fraudulent dens operating overseas under the guise of "technology parks" and "development zones".
