Banking with an esports betting site from Korea

Making payments to your esports betting provider is very simple.  Each betting site offers their own unique selection of payment methods, but popular ones for South Korea include: Visa and MasterCard credit and debit cards, Astropay Card, Skrill, Neteller, EcoPayz and bank transfers.  If your chosen betting site offers KRW accounts and want to transact directly in South Korean Won, KRW banking methods tend to include Visa, MasterCard, Skrill and bank transfers.  If you would prefer to make payments via Bitcoin, Pinnacle and 1xBet will allow you to do this.

Is online esports betting legal from South Korea?

Providing or hosting a gambling operation is illegal within Korea.  You would not be advised to attend or used such services or participate in their operations.  However, betting online with an off-shore provider does not carry any significant risks for people looking to bet on esports or other sporting events as these services operate legally through their remote-gaming licenses.

Esports in Korea

South Korea is in love with esports. The depth of field in Korean esports is astonishing.  In 2018, the top Korean esports earners held more than 200 Korean athletes among the top 1,000 earners.  This means that a single country of about 51 million people contributes more than 20 percent of the world’s best esports players.  This has led some to compare Korea’s level of dominance in esports to Germany’s level of dominance in football.  Given the numbers, it’s difficult to argue.  Beyond a large middle class with access to gaming devices and the talent that can grow in a natural grass-roots fashion, Korean esports has developed to such a high level due to advanced esport infrastructure, investment and organisations like KeSPA and the Korean Esports Network - OGN.  To this point, the most elite esports athletes have come from Northern and Central Europe.  Esports is so entrenched in Korea now that there is no doubt, very soon, South Korea will develop a top-five-calibre esports athlete of their own.
