As the number of top-class tournaments and events grows, the opportunity for Rocket League betting expands. You can now place bets on the biggest, most exciting Rocket League clashes right here at Stake.com.

Since California-based Psyonix released the game in 2015, its high-octane sporting action has hooked gamers on platforms including PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC. New features, maps and game modes have been added over the years to keep the audience engaged, whether home gamers or professional players on the eSports circuit.

With popular eSports such as League of Legends (LoL), Dota2, Call of Duty (COD) , and Arena of Valor (AoV), Esports betting has become increasingly popular amongst keen sports bettors online. Learn everything there is to know about Rocket League eSports with our betting guide and tips at Stake Sportsbook .

Rocket League Teams and Tournaments

With eSports continuing to grow, fuelled by live streams on Twitch and YouTube, watched the world over, it’s no surprise that Rocket League’s novel and entertaining format would take to the big stage. Various big tournaments run throughout the year, such as RLCS, Electronic Sports League (ESL), and Major League Gaming (MLG), all of which are available for Rocket League betting opportunities.

Tournaments This Week

This week the FIFAe World Cup 2024 in in full swing from December 5th to 8th as the best Rocket League players in the world represent their nation for glory. The group stage kicks off with several must-watch matchups. All eyes will be on Morocco, featuring Karmine Corp's itachi and dralii, who enter as tournament favorites based on their recent performances. Their opening matches should showcase why they're considered the team to beat, with their roster combining individual mechanical skill with proven competitive experience.

Another highlight is the United States versus Brazil showdown, featuring the complete Gen.G Mobil1 Racing roster against FURIA Esports' full lineup. The American squad, led by Retals and CHEESE, faces a tough challenge against yANXNZ and DRUFINHO's Brazilian contingent in what promises to be a high-octane matchup between two aggressive playstyles.

The European derby between Belgium and Netherlands stands out as potentially the most balanced matchup of the opening rounds. Both teams boast impressive rosters - Belgium's Atow and AztraL facing off against the Netherlands' squad featuring Joreuz and oaly. With both teams known for their creative offensive plays, this could be one of the most entertaining matches of the group stage.

France also enters as a serious contender with a stacked roster including Vitality's zen and M0nkey M00n alongside Karmine Corp's Vatira, making their early matches must-watch affairs for any Rocket League fan.

The key events for Rocket League to look out for on Stake include:

Rocket League Championship Series

The RLCS is the premier series for the game, currently offering a cool $6,000,000 prize pool. The series is split into three: Fall, Winter and Spring Splits. Each Split has three regional events (i.e. European or Asian), and after a series of qualifiers, 16 teams come together to play for International Majors.

Teams earn points for progressing in the Splits, with the totals combined to determine the overall winner. Some regions are considered easier, and so points are weighted.

Women’s Car Ball Championship

This female-only series operates worldwide and now features a second division or Challengers League. Matches are streamed weekly, with the final top teams entering a playoff format to determine the champion.

Regional tournaments

Even some of the regional events, like the North American Collegiate Rocket League, which Psyonix organises, get a lot of traction. Crimson Wings also organises leagues in the US. But you are less likely to see these games feature on Stake owing to the small geographical target.

How to Bet on Rocket League eSports and Bet Types

Similar to a soccer match, Rocket League betting has familiar markets, so it’s perhaps easier to get started with this eSport than others.

The main types of bets are:

  • Outright winner – select the team you think will end the overall winner of a tournament. You will likely get better odds on your favourite teams the earlier you place your bet before matches begin.

  • Match winner – perhaps the easiest (and so most common) way to enjoy Rocket League betting is to predict which of the two teams you think will win the individual match.

  • Handicap betting – if one team is a big favourite, handicap betting is a way to even things up in a betting sense. For example, Moist eSports might be a big favourite to beat Quadrant. Here, the handicap bet might be -2, meaning Moist would need to win by three goals or more for your bet to come in. On the flip side, if you back Quadrant at +2, they would have to lose by a single goal (or win the game) for you to win.

  • Goals over/under – Stake.com sets a line on the expected total number of goals in a game. You select whether there will be more or fewer than that total.

  • Correct score – As simple as it sounds, get the score right to win.

  • First goalscorer – Which player will drive to the ball and knock it into the goal first?

  • Specials – Consider these prop bets, like which team will score the most goals or whether a playing period will remain goalless.

eSports Betting Tips and Strategies for Success

There are some key things you must do if you’re going to find success at Rocket League betting. All it needs is a little research.

Simply guessing the outcome of upcoming tournaments based on the odds is not the best betting strategy for success. Instead, take note of our elite sports betting tips , as well as the following techniques to increase your betting potential:

  • Learn the game’s rules – You’ll be at a major disadvantage if you don’t know how Rocket League is played. Get to know how teams play, how to score, and the times allowed for each period and game.

  • Understand tournament formats – All Rocket League tournaments and leagues follow different formats, with leagues or knockout stages or a bit of both. Some also have longer matches. With this in mind, keep up to date, so you are not placing bets that make little sense.

  • Keep up with the news and stats – By regularly following the action and reading up on the game, you’ll spot betting opportunities. Perhaps a team’s key player is out for an upcoming match, something that should affect the odds, but you spot they haven’t shifted. Getting a grip on the stats might also throw up anomalies, like a lower-ranked team regularly getting good results against a particular opponent.
