Esports Betting at MelBet Philippines
Esports betting can be traced back to the advent of competitive gaming with titles like Starcraft, Counter-Strike, and Warcraft III in the early 2000s. By 2010, real-money wagering had entered the scene, transforming esports into a global entertainment phenomenon with millions of fans and multi-million-dollar prize pools in games like Dota 2 and Overwatch. However, most platforms still only offer the match winner betting line when it comes to esports betting.ย
Unlike other esports betting sites, your options as a Filipino esports bettor arenโt limited to match winners on MelBet Philippines, whether you are playing on desktop or the MelBet app.ย Keep reading to check out how you can bet on esports with MelBet for real-money wins, games to bet on, betting lines to explore, and other betting options to consider.ย ย
What is Esports Betting and How It Works on MelBet
As stated, your esports betting options are not limited with us, hereโs how. Electronic sports betting Philippines is similar to traditional sports betting, but digitally. Instead of wagering on popular sports, you wager on teams or players in popular competitive games like DOTA 2, Overwatch, and CS. At MelBet, we acknowledge that esports is not just a niche market but instead a standalone betting category that increasingly rivals traditional sports in popularity and scale.
Although most Filipino players are only familiar with classic win or lose wagers when it comes to esports betting, we offer markets that offer the same variety as traditional sports. Where do we clear the scales? Our fair system allows us to offer low-margin esports odds. Hereโs how you can take advantage in a few intuitive steps.

Understanding Esports Betting Odds
Esports betting odds function the same as traditional sports odds, representing both the probability of an event happening and the potential payout you can receive from a winning bet. Keep in mind, Lower esports odds mean the team is favored to win, while higher odds suggest an underdog with a potentially bigger esport bet payout.

Other Esports Betting Options on MelBet
If you are a fan of the variety you get to explore when you bet on basketball, football, or other events, we offer the same variety when it comes to esports betting. Hereโs a quick breakdown of our most popular options.
First Blood
First Blood bet is one of the most popular special markets in cyber bets, and it is particularly popular in such games as Dota 2, CS2, and League of Legends. It is the forecasting of the team or the individual player that will get the first kill in a game.
Map Duration
The Map Duration market allows bettors to wager on how much time a particular map will take in a match in esports. The bet is not centered on who wins a match, but the overall time played before the map is over. This is a rather popular option in such games as Dota 2, League of Legends, and CS2.
Map Winner
Map Winner bet is another popular market in e-sports betting, particularly in games like CS2, Dota 2, Valorant, and League of Legends. As opposed to betting on the overall result of the match or the series, the bettors place a bet on which team will win a particular map in the match. It is common in best-of-three (Bo3) or best-of-five (Bo5) competitions, where momentum may change map-to-map.
Total Maps Played
Speaking of best-of-three (Bo3) or best-of-five (Bo5) competitions, the total maps played is another option popular in competitions with this format. The Total Maps Played market focuses on the overall length of a series rather than which team wins. This allows bettors to predict whether a match will finish quickly or extend to the maximum number of maps.
