The rise in esports has been monumental over the last 12 months. More players than ever before are now competing in the top games as professional players. The potential winnings are sky high; the sponsorship opportunities are lucrative, and the leading players enjoy global recognition.

You don’t have to be a talented gamer to enjoy the esports movement, however. The highest ranking tournaments and leagues from across the planet are now streamed live to your desktop computer and mobile app. This allows fans to keep up to speed with the progress of their favourite players and the most successful teams.

It’s no surprise to learn the top betting sites in Vegas are showing more of an interest in esports. Bettors can wager on the outcome of fixtures either before they begin or at any stage of play thanks to live betting. An exciting esports gamble is just a click away and the top mobile apps give you access when on the move.

In this article, our aim is to explain to you how to place bets on eSports using your mobile app.

How to download a betting app quickly

Your first choice is which bookmaker to bet with. There are many options out there, but some are better than others so take your time and research what’s available. You should register with a betting app that’s free, has a generous welcome offer of a free bet, covers esports betting and boasts competitive odds.

Once you have chosen your bookie you should download their betting app to your Android or IOS device. You will find a link on the betting site’s homepage to download each version of the app. Simply click the link to install it on your device. Create an account and log in. You will now be able to bet on all available esports.

How to get a free bet for esports

Many of the leading betting firms offer new customers a welcome bonus to encourage them to choose their app over the competition. The online gambling industry is a ruthlessly competitive one and the most successful sportsbooks must stand out from the crowd if they are to survive.

The welcome bonuses offered come in many different shapes and sizes but the best ones to look out for are free bets and risk-free bets. Most free bets are deposit matched bonuses which means the value of your free bet will be equal to your first deposit and gamble.

For example, if you opened an online betting account and deposited £50 then bet it on esports or sports you will bag a £50 welcome bonus. This can be used on the market of your choice. When choosing a welcome bonus be sure to read the terms and conditions in full before accepting any offer. This is an important step as it will ensure you have a full understanding of what’s required of you when using the free bet. It’ll also explain any steps you must pass before withdrawing the winnings earned from the bonus.
