Nevada, Indiana Add More Events For Sports Bettors

eNASCAR closest thing to a live professional sport going on in U.S.

Gaming regulators in Nevada and Indiana continue to add new options for operators who offer sports betting. With major professional sports shut down across much of the world during the COVID-19 pandemic, mobile operators have been seeking new revenue streams through the handful of sports that are still being played as well as eSports.

Nevada’s Gaming Control Board on Friday added the 2020 eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series and 2020 ESL ONE-DOTA Los Angeles to its list of approved sports to bet on, marking the second time in as many weeks that the NGCB has added new options.

“In a world without your traditional streams of sports, operators are continually looking for additional content to deliver to avid sports fans, and regulators are responding,” consultant Brendan Bussmann of Global Market Advisors told Sports Handle Monday. “It is encouraging to see numerous regulators, especially Nevada, working with operators to allow new sports and other events added to the offering.”

Indiana adds Belarus hockey league

On March 25, the NGCB approved “Counter-Strike: Global Operations,” which is currently being conducted by the ESL Pro League. It was the first time since 2017 that Nevada added a new eSport.
Nevada isn’t the only state that has added new offerings in the last month, as the Indiana Gaming Commission added a more traditional offering Monday morning. Hockey fans in Indiana can now place wagers on the Belarus Extraleague, bringing the total number of active hockey leagues available to bet on in the state to two. Both the Belarus Extraleague and Kontinental Hockey League are located in former Eastern Bloc countries, though the Belarus Extraleague playoffs concluded Friday and play is scheduled to resume in August.
The IGB in March added several new betting options, including table tennis, which has been a winner for some online sportbooks. 

One of Nevada’s latest offerings gives sports fans something very similar to auto racing to bet on — eNASCAR features professional drivers playing a virtual game with a live television broadcast that sounds a lot like one at a live race. Drivers participate from simulators in their homes.

ESL ONE-DOTA was originally scheduled to be the league’s first live event in Los Angeles, but coronavirus forced it online, according to an ESL One press release. The event, which started March 28 and runs through April 19, features 34 teams competing for $375,000 in prize money. The tournament is a round-robin best-of-three format with a best-of-five series for the “grand final.”

Online sports betting is available in Indiana, Iowa, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia.
