Internet betting site VulkanBet has announced that they have launched a sportsbetting platform powered by UltraPlay, and will offer wagers on eSports as a direct result.
The launch will see players being offered the chance to place wagers on Overwatch, which has proven to be one of the most popular games of 2016. In Overwatch, players work in teams to complete different goals, and each character serves a different purpose. Players will be able to place live bets on these matches with the new product platform.
Commenting on the launch UltraPlay Head of eSports Peter Ivanov said, "Following the competitive scene and working closely with the largest tournaments as well as analyzing the whole game gave us the confidence in kicking-off the first Live-traded Overwatch matches."

It's still strange for me when they calling eSports a sport, so not agree this is exactly a "sportsbetting" platform. But anyway these are just terms and I'm sure there are quite a few young people out there which don't know in fact there are other forms of sport existing out there 😉
