Esports Betting Q4 – Top Trends

Let’s not waste any time, here’s a look at the Q4 Esports Betting trends from 2024 according to Abios and Sharpr using data from Kambi, a major sports betting supplier:
- Leading esports title – Counter-Strike with 64% of total betting market share
- Dota 2 – 4% decline in esports betting in 2024
- LoL – 2% growth in esports betting in 2024, now 26% of the industry
- VALORANT – 2% growth in esports betting in 2024, now 5% of the industry
- Demographics – Gen Z (44%) outnumbering Millenials, improving from 36%
- Most popular events – CS2 Shanghai Major (28%) and Worlds (19%) featured
- Live betting – 46% of CS and 28% of VALORANT bets were made live
With those being the main takeaways, this confirms our suspicion concerning the top 4 titles in esports right now.
Accordingly, we expected Dota to suffer a little following the dissolution of the Dota Pro Circuit while VALORANT and LoL continued to blossom under Riot Games’ careful guidance. Moreover, these titles look to continue dominating the esports scene and will feature the most attention in the years to come.
