Best Esports to Bet on in Singapore
Singapore bettors have access to a wide range of esports titles for betting, from global juggernauts like CS2 and Dota 2 to Southeast Asian favourites like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. Here is our ranking of the best esports to bet on in Singapore based on market availability, regional relevance, and betting value.
Step 1: Mobile Legends: Bang Bang — Best for Singapore Bettors
MLBB is the top-ranked betting title for Singapore players due to the strong Southeast Asian competitive scene and the cultural familiarity of the game. The MPL (Mobile Legends Professional League) runs biannually in multiple countries, with Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia all fielding competitive teams. Sportsbooks with Southeast Asian coverage offer deep MLBB markets including map handicap, first tower, and total kills. The local knowledge advantage for SEA bettors is significant.
Step 2: CS2 — Best Global Market Depth
Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) is the most widely covered esports title by volume at international sportsbooks. Major tournaments like ESL Pro League, BLAST Premier, and IEM events attract hundreds of pre-match and live markets. CS2's round-by-round structure creates frequent in-play opportunities. If you prefer betting on globally recognised tournaments with high liquidity, CS2 offers the deepest market selection of any esports title.
Step 3: Dota 2 — Best for High-Value Bets
Dota 2's The International (TI) is the highest-prize-pool esports tournament in history, and the associated betting volume creates competitive odds from multiple sportsbooks. Dota 2 markets are also deep outside TI, covering the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) leagues and major invitational events. The game's complex mechanics reward bettors with deep game knowledge who can identify momentum shifts invisible to casual observers.
Step 4: Valorant — Growing Fast
Valorant's structured regional league system (VCT) has matured rapidly since its launch, with dedicated Pacific, Americas, and EMEA leagues feeding into global champions events. Singapore has representation in the Pacific league, increasing local interest. Valorant's betting market has grown significantly and most major sportsbooks now carry VCT markets with live betting options.
Step 5: League of Legends — Established with Asian Presence
League of Legends remains one of the most-watched esports globally, and the LCK (Korea), LPL (China), and MSI/Worlds tournaments attract the highest global viewership of any esports event. Singapore bettors benefit from strong coverage of Asian leagues. LoL betting markets are mature with deep market offerings at major sportsbooks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is MLBB popular for betting in Singapore?
Yes. Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is the most culturally relevant esports title for Southeast Asian bettors, including Singapore. The MPL leagues run throughout the year with Singapore-based players and fans following regional teams closely, creating a strong betting market among local sportsbooks with SEA coverage.
Which esports title has the best odds for Singapore bettors?
CS2 typically offers the tightest odds margins (most competitive pricing) due to the highest betting liquidity of any esports title globally. MLBB offers competitive odds at sportsbooks with SEA-focused operations. The best odds for any given match should be compared across multiple sportsbooks before placing a bet.
Can I bet on minor-league esports in Singapore?
Yes. Many sportsbooks cover tier-2 and tier-3 tournaments in CS2, Dota 2, and LoL, as well as regional MLBB and Valorant circuits. However, minor-league markets carry higher margins and lower liquidity, meaning odds may be less competitive than for tier-1 events. Focus on tier-1 and well-covered regional tournaments for the best betting conditions.
