Hard Rock Bet Expands Esports Offer in Florida
The state’s gambling monopoly has added a new and in-demand betting vertical with the introduction of esoccer

Hard Rock Bet is enjoying an unopposed sports betting dominance in the state of Florida, owing to a state compact the company signed with the governor. As a result, Hard Rock Bet is the only sportsbook that players can access remotely and place a wager with.
Hard Rock Bets Welcomes Esoccer to Platform
To maintain its momentum, however, Hard Rock Bet has been fleshing out its betting markets with even more available options, and the latest is the introduction of “esoccer” which is listed under the esports category in the sportsbook.
The game featured as the esoccer product is EA Sports FC 24, the franchise that was previously known as FIFA, which is a video game simulator of real-world soccer.
Bettors will now have the opportunity to place a wager on the outcome of such games, as the video game itself has spawned a competitive scene featuring highly skilled games that offer onlookers the opportunity to place a flutter and realize a win.
Esports has been in general a shunned part of the sports betting experience, but the rise of the activity’s popularity has prompted many leading companies to look closer at the vertical, including Hard Rock Bet.
A game of FC 24 is played in 15 minutes, with two halves of six minutes each. Hard Rock Bet features a lot of different selections for sports bettors to choose from, including first goalscorer, totals, point spreads, and outright winner, among others.
The sportsbook offers more than 11 different types of wager groups that players can choose from and bet, with different sub-categories and selections readily available.
Pack all the Excitement in 15 Minutes of Betting
Esports fans can also benefit from live streaming of esoccer games directly through the sportsbook’s app or website, giving them even more fresh opportunities to explore competitive video gaming.
Hard Rock has welcomed the opportunity to expand its esports offer, adding hundreds of more games that registered punters can choose from and bet on.
Hard Rock Bet reminds players that they get to enjoy a fast-paced action that only takes 15 minutes and plenty of scoring which opens up the opportunities to select interesting markets, and contrasts this with the usual drawl that is a standard soccer game that takes more than 90 minutes on average.
