Two Esports gambling related stories to chew on. Esports bookmaker Loot.Bet create two new Esports leagues, and Fnatic wants to clean up Esports betting.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) President, Mark Emmert, recently told the associated press not to expect Esports to become a formal part of the university athletics program anytime soon.
“We don’t particularly embrace games where the objective is to blow your opponent’s head off,” said Emmert.
Luckily, for Esports fans who like a punt, Loot.Bet has a different perspective on the whole head blown off thing. The Esports speciality bookmaker is exploring the value of hosting leagues of their own, with the company’s loudspeakers blaring out news of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) and Dota 2 leagues.
