Esports, certainly not immune to the coronavirus pandemic, has mostly been thriving as many events can still be played minus the spectators.  Some of the major competitions have been postponed.  But there is great news for the sector when it comes to gambling.

Esports global gambling revenue is set to double to US$14 billion in 2020, according to new research from global consumer surveyors 2CV and market analysts ProdegeMR.
