This category rounds up the titles that don’t fit neatly under a single big circuit — tactical shooters, battle royales, a digital card game, and a couple of legacy esports whose competitive scenes have shrunk or ended entirely. What they share is a smaller, more fragmented betting market than Call of Duty or Rocket League, and formats different enough from traditional team-vs-team esports that the bet types themselves need explaining.
Tactical and team shooters
Rainbow Six Siege is the standout here, built around its flagship event, the Six Invitational. It plays like a traditional round-based tactical shooter, which makes it bet the way Counter-Strike does — match winner, map handicaps, round totals — so if you already follow shooter esports the format is familiar.
Battle royales bet differently
Fortnite, PUBG, and Apex Legends esports (the latter through the Apex Legends Global Series, or ALGS) are battle royale formats, and that changes the betting shape entirely. Instead of a single head-to-head result, these events run bracket-style with placement points and elimination points accumulated across multiple games by dozens of squads or players at once. Markets tend to center on outright tournament winner, top-placement finishes, or a specific player/team’s total points, rather than a simple moneyline — there’s no direct “who wins this match” bet when 20+ teams are competing simultaneously.
Card games and legacy titles
Hearthstone and Clash Royale represent a different genre again — digital card games with their own competitive circuits, though at meaningfully smaller scale than the shooters. Heroes of the Storm and World of Warcraft sit even further down the long tail: Heroes of the Storm’s competitive scene (the HGC) was discontinued by Blizzard back in 2018, and WoW esports today runs through smaller-scale events like the Mythic Dungeon International and Arena World Championship rather than a large franchised league. Betting coverage for both is minimal to nonexistent on most mainstream books.
How to use this section
Check the specific title you’re interested in before assuming a betting market exists at all — coverage here ranges from actively booked by several operators (Rainbow Six, Fortnite) down to essentially untracked by sportsbooks (Heroes of the Storm, World of Warcraft). The individual pages below are honest about which end of that range each title falls on.
