    Bet365 to launch SIS Esports in New Jersey

    "Bet365 and SIS announced a partnership Wednesday that’ll provide New Jersey residents with the first-ever non-tournament esports competitive gaming products.

    SIS’ H2H Global Gaming LeagueTM hosts over 150,000 events per year that have been developed specifically for betting. The Competitive Gaming deal in New Jersey enables bet365 access to ultra-low (sub-second) latency live streaming.

    In addition to visible ESIC-trained integrity referees for every game, and live caster commentary. The experience will also be accompanied by on-screen graphics and unique betting prompts such as form, players stats and results."

    Do you think other operators will follow suit in New Jersey?

    E-Sports were sure popular during league covid shutdowns. But there were a lot of questions about integrity at the time.

    I could see this working if people have confidence its not being rigged real time.

    esports has been highly tainted since the beginning 25 years ago.
    You are dealing with kids that have internet social skills, so their cares of others and integrity are at the bottom of the barrel.

    E-Sport volume way down now
    Too much fixing ruined it
    Bet365 basically bankrupt NJ just a tax right off

    A good book that never caught on in usa
    They could not even dent NJ market

    Agree. By the end of the fad I had lost a lot of respect for the books doing it, based on just blatant profiteering/rigging and opaque rulings.
