  • Betting/Gambling in Cybersports

    If this topic has already been discussed previously or inappropriate then I apologize ahead of time.

    I am trying to gauge whether there is any interest among the cybersports community (particularly the non-American community, for legal reasons) for participating in organized betting pools (pari mutuel, not fixed odds) for competitive cybersports - this would involve real money. These would cover the more popular games and tournaments.

    Legality is obviously a big issue. United States residents would very probably be prohibited from participating for at least the near future (depending on what the legislators decide). Also, I know that XLBet already offers a little fixed odds betting in WC3 and SC2 - I believe their primary focus is on more traditional sports. My focus would be on cybersports.

    I have ventured to inquire here because I am somewhat unfamiliar with the competitive scene for cybersports (although I do enjoy watching SC2 tournament shoutcasts). Would any of you be interested in such an opportunity? Relevant comments, opinions, and questions are appreciated.

    Not sure you'll find many fans of pro gaming around here...
