1xBet Esports Betting — Titles on the Board
Esports is not one sport. Each title has its own rules, its own way of counting maps and a slightly different market set. These are the names Vietnamese players back most on the 1xBet board.
- League of Legends. The oldest MOBA and the biggest esports betting volume. Domestic VCS plus international Worlds, MSI, LCK and LPL. BO3 in the group stage, BO5 in the knockouts.
- Arena of Valor (Lien Quan Mobile). The most popular mobile MOBA in Vietnam. The DTDV and AIC events draw a huge community — 1xBet posts match winner, map handicap and total kills.
- Dota 2. Valve's MOBA with The International (TI) — the largest prize pool in esports history. The DPC circuit runs year-round with regional Majors.
- CS2 (Counter-Strike 2). Tactical shooter. The Majors, ESL Pro League and BLAST Premier carry deep boards: map winner, map handicap, total rounds.
- Valorant. Riot's tactical shooter. The VCT (Valorant Champions Tour) runs regional stages and a world final at year's end.
- PUBG Mobile & Mobile Legends. PUBG Mobile (PMGC, PMPL) scores on placement and kills; Mobile Legends (MPL, M-Series) is a strong mobile MOBA across Southeast Asia.
A general rule when picking a title to bet: start with the game you watch most. Knowing the meta, which team is strong in which role and reading the run of play on stream is a real edge, bigger than any betting tip. Someone who watches VCS every week reads VCS odds better than someone who only looks at the price.
1xBet LoL Betting — VCS, Worlds, LCK and LPL
League of Legends is the most-backed esports segment in Vietnam. 1xBet covers the domestic league and the major international events, from the group stage to the final.
VCS — Vietnam's pro League of Legends
VCS (Vietnam Championship Series) is the top domestic LoL competition, where teams like GAM Esports and Team Whales fight for international slots. It splits into a spring and a summer season, BO3 in the group stage and BO5 in the playoffs. Because the community follows it closely, roster news and lineup changes move VCS odds fast — a regular viewer has a clear reading edge.
International LoL events on 1xBet
- Worlds. The World Championship in late autumn — the biggest LoL event of the year, peak betting volume. Full markets from groups to the final, plus an outright that opens before the event.
- MSI (Mid-Season Invitational). The mid-season event gathering each region's champions. The board is as deep as Worlds.
- LCK (Korea). The strongest league in the world for years. LCK odds run alongside VCS in the same season window.
- LPL (China). A large league with a dense schedule. The richest source of esports odds during the week.
- LEC (Europe). The European regional league, late-night kickoffs Vietnam time.
For LoL, beyond match and map winner, 1xBet posts the MOBA-specific in-game markets: first dragon, first tower, first Baron, first blood and total kills across the match. This is where a player who knows the meta finds a mispriced line — a team with a strong jungler tends to force first blood and early dragons.
1xBet Arena of Valor Betting — DTDV and AIC
Arena of Valor (Lien Quan Mobile) is the most popular mobile MOBA in Vietnam, and its betting community rivals PC esports. The domestic league is the DTDV (Dau Truong Danh Vong), and the AIC (Arena of Valor International Championship) is the year-end international event.
The AoV board on 1xBet follows the game's format: playoff series run BO5 or BO7, so map handicap and over/under maps carry real weight. The total kills market fits AoV because the tempo is fast and the fights are constant — kill totals usually run higher than PC LoL. Someone who follows the DTDV knows which teams force early team fights and which play a slow lane game, which reads straight into the kills market.
- DTDV. The domestic pro league, two seasons a year. Match winner, map handicap and total kills for each tie.
- AIC. The international event gathering strong regions — Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan. The outright opens before the event.
- Asian Games and SEA Games. AoV is a medal esport — markets open once the schedule is set.
1xBet Dota 2, CS2, Valorant and Mobile Betting
Beyond the two familiar MOBAs, 1xBet covers the other big esports titles. Each game has its own way of counting maps and its own market set.
Dota 2
Valve's MOBA, famous for The International (TI) — the largest prize pool in esports history. The DPC (Dota Pro Circuit) runs year-round with regional Majors. Dota 2 odds mirror LoL: match winner BO3/BO5, map handicap, first blood, first Roshan and total kills.
CS2 (Counter-Strike 2)
A 5v5 tactical shooter scored by map and round. The Majors, ESL Pro League and BLAST Premier carry the deepest boards in the FPS segment. CS2 markets include map winner, map handicap, round handicap (like a goal handicap but in rounds), over/under total rounds per map, and which team wins the opening pistol round.
Valorant
Riot's tactical shooter, with the VCT (Valorant Champions Tour) running regional stages and a world final at year's end. The market set matches CS2: map winner, map handicap, round handicap, over/under rounds.
PUBG Mobile and Mobile Legends
PUBG Mobile (PMGC, PMPL) is a battle royale scored on placement and kills across several games — markets include match winner, most kills and top-placement bets. Mobile Legends (MPL, M-Series World Championship) is a strong mobile MOBA in Southeast Asia, with an AoV-style board: match winner, map handicap, total kills.
How to Bet on Esports at 1xBet — 4 Steps from New Account to First Slip
Four steps, and step one you do only once. The other three repeat for every match you want to bet.
-
Register and enter code VNPOWER88Open an account on the web or the 1xBet app, pick VND as your currency, and type VNPOWER88 in the promo code field. See the full walkthrough on the 1xBet registration page.
-
Deposit through MoMo or ZaloPay
-
Open Esports → pick a title → pick an eventThe Esports section gathers LoL, Arena of Valor, Dota 2, CS2, Valorant and the mobile games. Pick an event (VCS, Worlds, DTDV...) then open a match for map winner, map handicap, first blood and total kills.
-
Build the slip and place your betSingle, accumulator or system bet. Enter your stake in VND — the slip shows the potential return in real time before you confirm.
1xBet Esports Markets — Map Winner, Handicap, Props, Live
Five market groups on the 1xBet esports board. Pick a tab to see what each one does and where a player who knows the game finds value. The anchors from the contents jump to the matching tab.
🏆Match Winner and Map Winner
The basic, most-backed marketThe match winner backs the team that takes the series (BO3, BO5, BO7). The map winner backs the team that wins a specific game — map 1, map 2, the decider. When two teams are far apart in level, the match winner pays very little on the favourite, and the map winner or map handicap gives a price worth backing.
- Match winner (the full BO3/BO5/BO7 series)
- Map 1, map 2, decider winner
- Correct map score (2-0, 2-1, 3-1...)
- Team to win both opening maps (yes/no)
- Series to go the distance or not
⚖️Map Handicap and Over/Under Maps
Balances the odds when teams differThe map handicap adds or subtracts maps from a team. In a BO3, a favourite at -1.5 maps must win 2-0 for the bet to land; the underdog at +1.5 maps wins by taking at least one map. Over/under maps bets the total maps in the series: in a BO3 the line is 2.5 (2-0 is under, 2-1 is over). CS2 and Valorant add a round handicap within each map.
- Map handicap -1.5 / +1.5 (BO3)
- Map handicap -2.5 / +2.5 (BO5)
- Over/under maps — line 2.5 (BO3), 3.5 (BO5)
- Round handicap per map (CS2, Valorant)
- Over/under total rounds per map
⚡In-game Props — First Blood, Tower, Total Kills
Where meta knowledge paysThe markets that track what happens inside the game. For LoL and Dota 2: first blood, first tower, first dragon/Roshan and total kills across the match. For CS2: pistol round winner and first kill per map. This is where a player who follows the meta finds a mispriced line — a team with a strong jungler tends to force first blood and early objectives.
- First blood — team with the first kill
- First tower / first dragon / first Baron
- Total kills in the match (over/under)
- Correct map score
- Pistol round and first kill (CS2, Valorant)
🥇Tournament Outright
Bet early for a better priceThe outright backs a team to win the whole event, opening before it starts and running all the way through. Betting early pays a better price: backing GAM to win VCS before the group stage carries far higher odds than once they are in the final. Beyond the winner there are markets for a team to reach the final, to escape the group, and for group placement.
- Tournament winner (VCS, Worlds, DTDV, TI...)
- Team to reach the final / the semis
- Team to escape the group stage
- Group placement
- Group head-to-head (team A above team B)
📡1xBet Live Esports Betting
In-play betting with cash-outFrom the moment a match starts, the odds update with the run of each map. A team ahead on gold and kills sees its map winner price adjust at once; after each map in the series, the match winner reopens at a new level. Partial cash-out lets you bank a profit mid-series and leave the rest running. LoL and Dota 2 often flip on a single team fight — live betting rewards the player who reads the timing.
- Winner of the current map, new line with the state of play
- Match winner, reopened after each map
- Next team to take a major objective (Baron, dragon)
- Full and partial cash-out
- Live statistics board: gold, kills, towers, objectives
1xBet Live Esports Betting — In-play and Cash-out
Esports suits live betting better than most sports because a match runs across several maps, and each map splits into fights that can swing the state of play. A viewer reads the momentum before the odds catch up — that is the real edge of live betting.
Full and partial cash-out
Full cash-out closes the slip before the series ends, whether it is winning or losing. The figure the bookmaker offers reflects the current chance: back the favourite to win the series, and once they take map 1 and lead map 2 the cash-out price moves close to the full return. Partial cash-out banks half the slip and leaves the rest to run — it fits when your side leads but the opponent has just won a fight back.
Odds delay and the stream
The official stream usually runs 30–90 seconds behind the game server. The bookmaker prices this delay into the live odds, so do not bet live off a single play you just saw on stream — the odds may already reflect it. A safer approach: use the 1xBet live statistics board (gold, kills, objectives) as your base, combined with what you know about the two teams, rather than chasing single plays.
1xBet Esports Outright Odds — Bet Early for the Price
The outright is the market for a player who follows a whole event rather than a single match. It opens before the event starts, with the highest odds at that point, falling as the strong teams advance. Backing VCS, Worlds or The International from the group stage pays far better than betting at the semi-final.
- Tournament winner. A team to win the whole event. Best price when you bet early.
- Final / semi-final. Lower risk than the outright winner, softer odds.
- Escape the group. Fits events with a long group stage like Worlds and TI.
- Placement and head-to-head. Back team A to finish above team B in the group.
A note on discipline: the outright ties up your stake for the whole event and only pays if the team finishes first. Most long-term players put a small share of their bankroll into outrights and keep the bulk on individual matches, where the information is clearer.
1xBet Esports Odds in VND — Reading the Line and Working Out Returns
Open the account in VND and every figure on the slip is in dong, no conversion. The default format is decimal odds: the return is the stake times the odds.
| Stake | Odds (decimal) | Return if it wins | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| VND 100,000 | 1.90 | VND 190,000 | VND 90,000 |
| VND 200,000 | 2.10 | VND 420,000 | VND 220,000 |
| VND 500,000 | 1.75 | VND 875,000 | VND 375,000 |
| VND 100,000 (3-leg acca) | 1.80 × 1.90 × 2.00 = 6.84 | VND 684,000 | VND 584,000 |
Players used to Malay or Hong Kong odds switch the format in account settings — the displayed price changes, the return does not. Minimum deposit VND 50,000, no platform fees; withdrawals to e-wallets usually process inside 24 hours, often in minutes.
1xBet Esports on the App — Android and iOS
Esports fits the phone: matches run late at night, and players watch the stream on a computer while placing live bets on the app. The 1xBet app has a dedicated Esports section, split by title and event.
- Fast betting when the domain is blocked. Vietnamese ISPs block the main domain — the app routes around the block, with no need to hunt for a fresh 1xBet link each time.
- Match-time alerts. Turn on notifications for the events you follow — the app pings you before VCS, Worlds or DTDV starts.
- One-tap cash-out. Close a live slip mid-match with a single button, no digging through menus.
- Slip kept across screens. Switch from the stream to the app and back, and the live slip stays intact.
Download the Android build (APK) and the iOS install guide on the 1xBet app page. Google Play blocks betting apps, so the Android build installs directly from the site.
Watching Esports Live Streams on 1xBet
Many major events stream inside a funded 1xBet account, next to the bet slip on one screen. For matches without video, the live statistics board still shows enough data — gold, kills, towers, major objectives — to enter a live bet on a solid footing.
A common setup for Vietnamese players: run the official stream on one screen (following the run of play and the caster audio) and the 1xBet live board on the other. Remember the 30–90 second stream delay — a live-bet decision should rest on the bookmaker's statistics board, not only the play you just saw on stream.
1xBet Esports Bonus with Code VNPOWER88
Esports counts as part of the sports track, so the sports welcome bonus applies to esports bets. Enter code VNPOWER88 at sign-up to lift the first-deposit match from 100% to 130%, up to VND 3,250,000.
- Sports bonus terms: wager the bonus 5× in accumulators of 3+ legs, each leg at odds of 1.40 or higher. Esports odds around 1.80–2.00 clear this with room to spare.
- How it works in practice: combine three matches from events in progress — say one VCS match, one LCK match and one CS2 match — into a 3-leg acca around 1.90, for a total near 6.9.
- Slip discipline: each added leg multiplies the odds but also multiplies the risk. Most long-term players keep accas at 3–4 legs and do not load a whole week of matches onto one slip.
The full terms sit on the welcome bonus page; the code that unlocks the 130% level is on the VNPOWER88 promo code page. If you also bet on football, see the V.League and Premier League odds on the same account.
