Abios, a major provider of esports data and odds, has released a guide designed for operators who want to succeed in the 2025 esports market. Abios, a division of the Kambi Group, covers popular games like Counter-Strike, League of Legends, Dota 2, and VALORANT and seeks to give sportsbooks and fantasy operators the knowledge they need to successfully negotiate the ever-changing esports scene.
The guide offers a detailed look at tournament schedules, teams, and top players, providing valuable data on each esports title. With millions of dollars in prize pools at stake, these games draw massive audiences and intense competition. Abios’ guide, filled with stats and an overview of each title’s annual circuits, serves as a roadmap to help operators plan and strategize for 2025.
Esports betting, with its appeal to Gen Z and Millennial audiences, allows operators to reach beyond traditional sports fans of football or basketball. Games like Counter-Strike, with regular high-profile tournaments, enable sportsbooks to generate steady revenue streams throughout the year.
