On which eSport games is it possible to place bets?

The competition in an eSport game must be structured in such a way that there is a level playing field for the individual players or team – that neither side has any advantages or disadvantages. Instead, skill and tactical prowess are the decisive factors leading to victory or defeat. Additionally, eSport games need to be promoted and the news must spread, in order to build up a greater fan base. Large tournaments with attractive prize money are always hot topics amongst eSport supporters.

Is it legal to bet on eSports?

Electronic sport does not differ legally in the slightest from any other type of sports betting on the internet. Through various regulatory authorities, sports betting portals are granted licences and are thus able to offer odds online.
Of course, the punter must be of legal age, and must have provided correct personal data during registration.

Also, don’t be put off by the arising betting tax, which has been in force in Germany since 2012. The tax is deducted automatically from your winnings by your bookmaker of choice, without you having to bother about it.

Exceptions to this are providers such as Tipico who waive the 5% tax. It must be mentioned that you should sometimes take the odds offered by these providers, who incur the tax on your behalf, into consideration. Lower odds are compensated by the saving of the 5% tax, and in the end, amount to the same thing.
