Abstract
It is undeniable that the world of esports is quickly becoming a mainstream form of entertainment and competition. With changes to federal law allowing states to legalize sports gambling, individuals are attempting to capitalize on the burgeoning growth of esports. While there is no shortage of discussion on traditional sports betting, esports betting has yet to fully be explored. Esports is arguably a subset of the sports industry and with the United States currently going through a transitional period regarding the way it treats sports gambling, now is the perfect time to begin regulating esports betting. Because many states have recently begun passing esports-specific betting legislation, this Article discusses the challenges in regulating esports betting, before identifying and advocating for ideal regulatory solutions to assist in minimizing the major risks associated with esports betting.
