2010

Not quite - at that time, esports wasn't yet on the scene. In fact, esports is thought to have originated in 
                        February 2010, when Pinnacle accepted the first bet on a StarCraft 2 competition. Over 12 years have passed, and today, an

This is the format for Volta Football, which is popular at the moment. But the majority of esports tournaments are also 
                        held in standard formats of 2x4 and 2x6. The BETER Esports portfolio boasts events in all three time formats - classic FC 24 
                        tournaments in 2x4 and 2x6, and Volta Football in 2x3. Most importantly, we offer over 23,000 efootball events each month with 24/7 
                        availability - you won't find better than that!

2x3 minutes!

This is definitely the most common and popular match format in efootball. But the longer 2x6 format and Volta Football’s 
                        2x3 format are also widely used by organizers. The BETER Esports portfolio boasts events in all three time formats - classic FC 24 
                        tournaments in 2x4 and 2x6, and Volta Football in 2x3. Most importantly, we offer over 23,000 efootball events each month with 24/7 
                        availability - you won't find better than that!

I think the answer is 2x4 minutes.

This is the longest of the formats typically used in daily competitions, but 2x4 and 2x3 are also popular among site 
                        members and operators alike for their fast pace and energy. The BETER Esports portfolio boasts events in all three time formats - 
                        classic FC 24 tournaments in 2x4 and 2x6, and Volta Football in 2x3. Most importantly, we offer over 23,000 efootball events each 
                        month with 24/7 availability - you won't find better than that!

Easy! 2x6 minutes.

Right! The BETER Esports portfolio boasts events in all three time formats - classic FC 24 tournaments in 2x4 and 
                        2x6, and Volta Football in 2x3. Most importantly, we offer over 23,000 efootball events each month with 24/7 availability - 
                        you won't find better than that!

All answers are correct.

<p>Correct answer! The term “322” derives from the odds 3.22 - 
                        this exact bet was placed way back in 2013 by player Alexey “Solo” Berezin 
                        against his own team. “Solo” was caught, and the story has gone down in esports history.</p><p>
                        It's little wonder that many operators have long been wary of esports precisely because of 
                        this kind of risk. At BETER, we have developed a system of integrity and risk management in 
                        order to minimize risks of any kind. And the numbers speak for themselves: out of over 40,000 
                        events every month, only 0.004% of our events are deemed potentially suspicious. That's something we’re proud of!</p>
                        

Fixed matches.

It looks like you might be getting 322 mixed up with Dust II :) Actually, this term refers to the fixed 
                        nature of a match or game by an individual player. Many operators have long been wary of esports precisely because of this 
                        kind of risk. At BETER, we have developed a system of integrity and risk management in order to minimize risks of any kind.

It’s the name of the map in CS2!

You're thinking 4-4-2 or 4-3-3, but not “322”. Actually, this term refers to the fixed nature of a match or game by an 
                        individual player. Many operators have long been wary of esports precisely because of this kind of risk. At BETER, we have developed a

                        proud of!

Surely it’s an FC 24 formation!

You’ve got it! When analyzing data from the last World Cup and European Championships, we noticed that the overall 
                        growth in bets on efootball events increased by tens of percent during the tournaments! So, thanks to the synergy of real football and 
                        simulations, operators can increase their earnings significantly. Don't miss out on your chance to benefit this summer ;)

Also increases significantly!

Not quite: our studies of data from previous World Cup and European Championships show that the overall growth in bets on 
                        efootball events increased by tens of percent during the tournaments. So, thanks to the synergy of real football and simulators, 
                        operators can increase their earnings significantly. Don’t miss out on your chance to benefit this summer ;)

Stays more or less the same.

It’s actually the opposite: our studies of data from previous World Cup and European Championships show that the overall 
                        growth in bets on efootball events increased by tens of percent during the tournaments. So, thanks to the synergy of real football and 
                        simulators, operators can increase their earnings significantly. Don’t miss out on your chance to benefit this summer ;) 

Falls - all the bettors' attention is on real football.

That’s a little too late :) Actually, it was all the way 
                        back in November 1999. Now, the whole world is playing the 24th version of 
                        this popular simulation. BETER Esports has been organizing year-round ebasketball

                        hundreds of thousands of matches. In 2024, we’re delivering content and odds feeds for 3,180+ ebasketball events every month.

Pretty sure it was 2010.

The International 2023 (Dota 2)
