About eSports Portal
eSports Portal has been an independent guide to esports betting since 2019. We compare licensed bookmakers, odds and bonuses for Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, League of Legends, Valorant and other games, in English, German, Russian and Bulgarian.
Who we are
eSports Portal is written by a small editorial team of esports fans and betting analysts.
How we rate bookmakers
We open a real account at every bookmaker we review, make a deposit, place bets and request a withdrawal. Each bookmaker gets four scores from 0 to 5:
- Licence & safety (30%): a valid licence with the regulator and licence number shown, fair terms and conditions, and responsible gambling tools such as deposit limits and self-exclusion.
- Esports coverage (25%): the number of games and leagues, smaller tournaments, map and round markets, and live streams.
- Odds quality (25%): the average bookmaker margin on match-winner markets for CS2, Dota 2 and League of Legends.
- Payments (20%): deposit and withdrawal options and the withdrawal times we measured.
The overall score is 0.30 × Licence + 0.25 × Esports + 0.25 × Odds + 0.20 × Payments, rounded to one decimal. We list only operators with a licence, and we check licences and offers regularly.
How we make money
eSports Portal is an affiliate site: when you open an account through one of our links, the bookmaker may pay us a commission. This costs you nothing. Commissions never decide a score or a position in our ranking, and every affiliate link is marked as an advertisement.
Our principles
- We do not promise wins and we do not publish "sure bets" or staking systems.
- We show the bonus terms (wagering, minimum odds, end date) next to every offer.
- Our content is for adults aged 18 and over. Please read our responsible gambling page.
