DraftKings eSports isn't your run of the mill eSports betting site - instead, it offers players from Ontario the opportunity to take part in fantasy eSports games. As one of the world's foremost daily fantasy sports (DFS) competition sites, DraftKings has added eSports to its already impressive lineup of fantasy sports. DraftKings eSports offers Ontario players the opportunity to form fantasy eSports teams and compete in tournaments, leagues and matches in a variety of formats for a share of a prize pool.
DraftKings offers a nice 20% deposit match bonus up to a maximum of $500 for players in Ontario, which will also get them a free $3 ticket that can be used to bet in a DraftKings eSports CS: Go fantasy tournament. In addition, there are lots of free-to-enter promos and fantasy tournaments for Ontario residents offered by DraftKings eSports that will keep you entertained for a long time. DraftKings also has a nice invite-only VIP section in which regular Ontario players can get rewarded with points which can then be redeemed for some lovely prizes at the VIP Store.
Players from Ontario can deposit funds into DraftKings eSports using a variety of methods including VISA, Mastercard, American Express, Discover Card and Paypal to make bets. You can also use online bank transfers and cheques from Ontario, but these methods are rarely used nowadays. You can also deposit using a prepaid DraftKings Play+ Card.
The customer support options at DraftKings eSports consists of an email/query form, an FAQ section, phone and live chat for Ontario players, though instant support is not available 24/7.
There are many products at DraftKings eSports available for Ontario players. There are fantasy one-on-one matches as well as leagues and tournaments in several popular eSports - League of Legends, Valorant, CS: GO, Rocket League, Call of Duty, iRacing and Dota. You can build your own eSports fantasy team and then pay an entry fee to bet in head-to-head matches, qualifiers to bigger tournaments, freerolls, winner takes all tournaments, leagues and various other interesting formats.
Unfotunately, there is no live betting option once an event starts. This is because of the fantasy betting format which means that you will be given a set virtual budget using which you have to form a fantasy eSports team. You can then pay an entry fee (ranging from less than a dollar to a few hundred dollars per entry) to bet and participate in various fantasy eSports events with your team for a chance to win cash prizes if you finish high enough in the final standings.
DraftKings eSports can be played on native mobile apps available for download on iOS and Android devices to Ontario customers. The app is very well designed and all betting and playing functions work equally well on all devices.
If you are looking for traditional eSports betting options from Ontario, then DraftKings eSports is probably not the place for you. However, if fantasy sports is your thing, look no further than this site which combines the very best of fantasy sports with eSports and offers a fine platform to test your fantasy team against others from Ontario and around the world, and stand a chance of winning cash prizes.
