CURRENT LAW

Esports coverage on Hard Rock Bet is limited compared to states with multiple operators. For more options and a wider range of esports markets, see our best esports betting sites guide.
THE ALTERNATIVE
Esports staking is different from traditional betting and is available in all 50 US states. 1v1Me is a live esports staking platform where you back professional gamers competing in real matches. You choose a player to win, place a stake, and share in a percentage of the prize pool if your player wins. It's a player-backed model, not traditional esports betting odds.
