Types of Crypto eSports Bets

By Hank Blaine

Crypto and eSports go together like a perfect match, with headshots and highlight reels. The global betting scene is shifting fast, and nowhere is the action hotter than in the eSports arena—especially when you’re placing wagers with Bitcoin or your favorite altcoin. At NitroBetting, where speed and anonymity are king, crypto eSports betting is easy to dive into. But before you go all-in on your next CS:GO matchup, let’s break down the different types of bets you’ll find on the board.

What Types of eSports Crypto Bets Exist?

Match Winner (Moneyline)

The bread and butter of eSports betting. You’re picking which team or player wins the match, simple as that. It could be G2 vs. FaZe, or a straight-up 1v1 in StarCraft II. Odds are set based on skill rankings, form, and the map rotation—but you’re just picking a winner.

Map Winner

If a match is best-of-three or best-of-five, you can bet on who wins a specific map. Team A might grab Map 1 but fall apart later. You can bet just that. It’s a great option when you know a team dominates on specific maps but tends to fade in the late game.

Handicap Betting

Sometimes, the odds are too lopsided on the favorite. That’s where spread betting comes in. If Team Liquid is -1.5 maps, they need to win by at least two maps for your bet to cash. Underdogs get a cushion; favorites need to dominate. Handicap bets make blowouts more interesting—and profitable.

Total Maps / Rounds (Over/Under)

Will the match go the distance? Over/Under bets allow you to wager on the duration of a game in terms of maps or rounds. Perfect if you expect a nail-biter or a clean sweep. You’re not betting on the winner—just how long the match will last.

Correct Score

Want to test your psychic powers? Bet on the exact final score—like 2-1 or 3-0. This is one of the riskier options, but the payouts can be worth the gamble. Just make sure you’ve done your homework. One surprise pick can wreck everything.

Live Betting (In-Play)

Esports moves fast, and so should your bets. With live betting at NitroBetting, you can jump in while the match is happening. Momentum shifts? Tech pause? Map choke? Ride the wave in real time and make smarter bets based on what you see—not just the pre-match hype.

Prop Bets / Specials

Prop bets are where crypto eSports gets fun. Will a player get a knife kill? First Blood in Dota 2? Fastest round win in Valorant? These markets vary by game but offer endless side action if you’re looking for something more than just picking the winner.
