Esports Betting

If you want to place esports bets at BetJordan, you will find one of the largest selections around. We have set up a dedicated section for you where you can see all the games and betting options, along with the many betting markets, at a glance. This matters because the regular sports betting section additionally contains simulated events such as eSoccer. To make choosing easier, we have added a dropdown menu in the top bar. It lets you switch between sports and esports. With us you will find 16 titles such as League of Legends, plus an esports hub for a better overview. We also have a bet builder on selected match pages. No separate account is needed to place sports bets and play in the casino. You can access every section at any time with a single account. There’s more about our sports offering below.

Which esports games are available

In the esports hub, players can see all the available games at once. The largest part of the range is made up of MOBAs, such as League of Legends. Mobile Legends and King of Glory, for example, are two MOBAs developed primarily for mobile devices. Then there are the popular shooters like Counter-Strike, Valorant and Call of Duty. We bring all the legendary esports together in this section. Which matches you see at any given moment depends on the tournament calendar. The range can still be fairly modest for a morning fixture and look completely different a few hours later. That is why we deliberately avoid quoting fixed event numbers. You can see our current games in the overview below.

Category	Games
MOBA	League of Legends, Dota 2, Mobile Legends, King of Glory
Shooter	Counter-Strike, Valorant, Rainbow Six, Call of Duty, Crossfire, PUBG Mobile
Strategy	StarCraft 2, World of Tanks
Sports simulation	FC 26, NBA 2K26, Cricket 24, Rocket League

Betting markets in detail

Markets are organised on three levels: match, map and round. Games with maps also get their own tab per map.

Level	Markets
Match	Winner, map handicap, total maps
Map	Winner, 1X2 (excluding overtime), round handicap, total rounds, winner and total rounds combined
Round	Pistol round winner (rounds 1 and 13)

Map handicap. One team gets a notional head start on a map. A handicap of 1.5 means the team has to win by two maps. Win by one and the handicap bet loses, even though the team won the series. Total maps. An over/under bet on how many maps are played before a winner is decided. There are also combinations of map winner and map count. Round handicap. The same idea as a map handicap, but counted in rounds. You are betting on the margin, not just the result. Total rounds. How many rounds are played on a map. Over/under on whether more than 4 rounds are played, for example. 1X2 excluding overtime. This one settles at the end of regulation, so a draw is possible. In CS2 that means a 12:12 scoreline. Six extra rounds follow, but this bet is already settled. Pistol round winner. The opening round of each half, where both teams start with limited equipment. Everyone has a pistol and nothing more. Markets cover round 1 and round 13. How deep the markets go depends on the game. Titles without maps lose that level entirely. That does not mean fewer markets, just a different structure.

Bet Builder for esports

The Bet Builder combines several selections from the same match into one bet. The individual prices become a single set of odds. You might combine the match winner, a total maps line and the winner of one specific map. The Bet Builder shows you which selections can go together. One thing to be clear about. If any single selection in the bet does not come in, the whole bet is lost. More legs means longer odds because more has to go right.

Esports live betting

Live esports covers League of Legends, Dota 2 and Counter-Strike among others. Match cards show the current score and the phase of play, and the odds move as the game goes on. If a market drops out for a moment, it is because a significant play is being settled. It comes back. Worth knowing before you start. An esports series has multiple maps, and each map has many rounds. That means a lot of individual live markets settle in a short space of time, and bets can stack up faster than in a single football match.

Esports or sports simulation?

Three different things sit near each other on the site. Esports means real players competing in real tournaments. League of Legends, Counter-Strike, Dota 2 and Valorant are esports. Sports simulation means real people playing a sports video game against each other. FC 26, NBA 2K26, Cricket 24 and Rocket League are in this group. They sit on the Esport tab too. Simulated events are software-generated with no players involved at all. eSoccer, eBasketball and eHorse Racing are in this group, and you will find them on the Sport tab. A random number generator decides the result.

How to place an esports bet

Open the dropdown in the top bar and select Esport. Pick a title, or use the Esports Hub for the full overview. Open the match you want and choose a category tab. Select a market and a price, and it goes to your bet slip. Enter your stake and confirm the bet. European decimal odds are the default. You can change the format at the bottom of the site. Titles and matches you follow can be saved as favourites, and “My Bets” shows your open and settled bets.

Offers for esports betting

There are two sports promotions running, one for new players and one for regular players. Neither is esports-only, and there is no bonus built specifically for CS2 or any other title. Both cover the whole sportsbook, esports included. The welcome offer is a €25 free bet on a €25 deposit, valid for 7 days. The rotating sports free bet changes which events it applies to. Read the terms each time, because betting on the wrong event means the offer does not count. Only one bonus can be active at any time.

Rules that apply before your first bet

Bonus terms are not the only conditions that matter. Our terms, under § 8, do not allow betting professionally with us. Breaking that rule can lead to your account being locked and your balance forfeited, under the conditions set out there. Deposits above 50,000 USD trigger a check on where the money came from, under § 21. Withdrawal limits apply per payment method, up to a maximum of €10,000. Winnings from a bonus are capped at 3× the bonus amount granted, under § 16. One account per person, under § 22. Multiple accounts can get you blocked.

Responsible gaming

Esports has a particular risk worth naming. A single series runs through several maps and dozens of rounds, and there is a market on most of them. Bets settle every few minutes, and each one invites the next. That adds up much faster than one bet on one football match. A deposit limit is the tool for this. You set it in your personal settings, daily, weekly or monthly, at an amount you choose. There is also a cooling-off period of up to 7 days and a temporary suspension of up to 90 days. The self-assessment test gives you a picture of how you are betting. Self-exclusion covers every account under our licence. You must be 18 to bet with us. Our trained staff can help, and we link to Gambling Therapy, Gamblers Anonymous and BIÖG (formerly BZgA), all free to contact.
