Venture capitalists attending the GamesBeat 2015 conference talk about the future of eSports being in the gambling sector, and Alex Dreyfus writes a blog for the Huffington post talking about the need for online poker to change.

GamesBeat 2015 is in its seventh year. It is a meeting of the minds of over 500 of the most important groups of people in the gaming industry. Amongst those important groups are investors, and a few of them recently took to the GamesBeat stage to state that the biggest investment opportunities in eSports are to come from gambling and daily fantasy sports (DFS).

Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences president Martin Rae chaired a panel of venture capitalists including IDG Ventures managing director Phil Sanderson, AID Partners’ Jason Kay, and Signia Venture Partners Sunny Dhillon.

All three investors agreed that gambling will be integral to the future growth of an eSports industry currently rocketing towards a $1 billion market value.
