Esports betting uses competitive video-game event outcomes as the settlement basis. A match winner, map winner or series handicap are different markets with potentially different rules.
Match, map and series are distinct selections
| Market | What settles it | Important caveat |
|---|---|---|
| Match winner | Official match/series result | Check scheduled format |
| Map winner | Result of specified map | Map cancellation or replacement |
| Map handicap | Margin under stated map handicap | Series and map count conditions |
| Outright tournament | Winner of named competition | Tournament cancellation rules |
Terms vary across sportsbooks and games; examples are educational rather than operator-specific market listings.
Best-of-three example
A best-of-three series ends when a team wins two maps. A Team A match-winning bet can win despite Team A losing the opening map; a Team A first-map bet would settle on that opening map alone. Read whether overtime and forfeits are covered.
Integrity, data and roster changes
Market integrity depends on accurate outcomes and transparent acceptance/settlement. The Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission describes sporting-event integrity agreements as a condition in its regulated framework; this illustrates a regulator model and does not assert that Razed is licensed there.

What void or suspended markets mean
- Check whether the match started and whether the specified map was completed.
- Find the operator’s actual postponed, abandoned, disqualified and technical-forfeit rules.
- Keep the confirmed betting slip and official result source for a disputed settlement.
- Do not assume two bookmakers have the same esports cancellation rules.
