Following an agreement with Sportradar, Tipbet is now offering betting on e-sports events and games to the German and international online markets.

CS:GO

"E-sports is a young and exciting project," said Tipbet managing director Bahadir Malkoc.

"With our new e-sports offer we are using and furthering the popularity of the sports at the same time. We believe in the future of e-sports and want our product to be a part of this successful story."

Lorenzo Caci, Sportradar’s director of sales, added: "We are delighted that Tipbet has chosen to work with us and trust our expertise. We have worked hard in-house to ensure that our full suite of products and services are fully tailored to the individual e-sports.

"We want our clients to be able to attract seasoned e-sports bettors, we want them to pique the interest of non e-sports bettors to try their hand at this new sport. But most of all, we want them to be confident that they have a partner who will generate value for them today and tomorrow."

The events and matches on offer will cover League of Legends, Starcraft II, Counter Strike: Global Offensive and Defense of the Ancients 2.

Live betting on the important matches from CS:GO will be available from the start. Shortly after live betting will also be made available for DotA2 matches.
