Esports Overview
Picklebet is widely described by independent reviewers as "Australia's leading esports betting site" with "the widest range of esports markets in Australia." Because the company was built by esports fans first and only later expanded into sports and racing, esports coverage is where it consistently outperforms bigger, more traditional Aussie bookmakers.
Multiple reviewers highlight that Picklebet is "the most popular bookmaker for esports in the globe" and has built a loyal customer base through reliable daily tips, esports news, competitive underdog odds, and integrated live streaming inside the app.

Market Types on Each Esport

- Match Winner (H2H) — the classic head-to-head market
- Map Winner — pick the winner of a specific map/game
- Round Winner — round-by-round markets on CS-style games
- Total Maps Played — over/under total maps

- First Blood / First Kill / First Team to X — event markets
- Correct Score — exact map score predictions
- Outrights & futures — tournament winner, group winners
Esports Live Streaming
Picklebet streams "practically every major esports event" directly inside the app and website. This is a rare feature — most Australian bookmakers stream horse racing but ignore esports entirely.
How to access streams
- Streaming is available inside the Picklebet website and app
- Look for the red video icon in the "Next to Go" / event listings
- You do not need an active bet on the event to watch (in most cases)
- Streams cover FIFA, NBA 2K, CS, Dota 2 and other titles
Free Esports Tips & Content
Multiple competitor reviewers highlight that Picklebet publishes daily esports tips and news for its existing user base. This is content, not gambling advice — and it's part of why Picklebet retains a loyal community that stays engaged even between big tournaments.
You'll find:
- Daily match previews for CS, Dota 2 and LoL
- Tournament betting guides around majors
- News articles on team changes, roster moves and meta shifts
