One of the biggest innovations in the sports betting industry in recent years has been the addition of esports to the catalogue of events available to place bets on. As well as the likes of football, horse racing, basketball, tennis and other top sports, punters are now able to visit their favourite bookmaker, including pretty much any of the top betting sites UK, and place a bet on a host of esports, virtual sports and more. Here we run through some of the most popular esports games available in 2023, many of which have been established industry favourites for the best part of a decade. 

Call of Duty

This is the biggest multiplayer shooter game on the planet, and the competitive nature of the CofD community is enough to rival the dedication committed to any sport. Call of Duty professionals are to be found participating in huge global tournaments with eye-watering prize pots at stake. It’s no wonder that the tournaments themselves now attract major betting interest, with contests often live streamed on bookmaker sites. The interest in this game is phenomenal.

Dota II

Ubiquitous on any major sports betting site, Dota II (aka Defense of the Ancients) is undoubtedly one of the most popular esports in the world, and generate millions in bets placed every year. On the scene for ten years now, this multiplayer online battle arena game is not only one of the most live-streamed games on the viewing platform Twitch, it also attracts some of the highest prize funds available in any esports tournaments. No wonder it generates such interest and has become one of the most competitive esports games on the planet.

League of Legends

LoL is another esports game that can be found on pretty much every sports betting site – or at least any sports betting site worth its salt. With literally millions of dollars handed out in prize money every year, this is a game that successfully blends elements of both first person shooter games and role playing. Teams of champions can go to battle in various game modes, and the constant updates from Riot Games – the developer – ensure fresh game play and additional competitive elements that keep LoL near the top of any esports gaming lists. 

Overwatch

The brainchild of Blizzard Games, Overwatch has risen to become one of the best-known names in esports, with the developer creating the Overwatch League which has become one of the biggest and most competitive E-gaming leagues in the world. Events attract live audiences in their thousands, with millions more tuning in through platforms such as Twitch. This is another first-person shooter game with a huge game-playing community and dedicated fanbase that ensures millions are bet on Overwatch events annually.  

Counter-strike: Global Offensive

Global Offensive, part of the universe of Counter-strike games, is without doubt one of the most popular and participated in esports communities anywhere in the world. Hundreds of CS:GO tournaments are organised every year either by third parties or by the game’s developer itself, Valve. There’s even a popular franchise league. Regular patches and major content updates ensure the game is kept fresh and this is another esports game that has developed a dedicated following in the ten years since the game’s release. 

Starcraft II

It’s hard to believe that Starcraft II has been around since 2010. In Korea the game is nothing short of a religion, and attracts live audiences that established sports could only ever dream of. A third-person strategy game played in real time, the secret of its esports success is the one-Vs-one format that is, arguably, the most exciting of all the esports spectacles. That in itself guarantees its enduring success, and as a result the game continues to thrive and remain a constant on the list of betting sites’ esports offerings.

Who’s been a good boy? The Growing Trend of Pet Photos with Santa in the UK In the festive corner of a bustling London shopping centre, three-year-old Bella sits patiently next to Father Christmas, her tail wagging gently as the photographer adjusts the lighting. Bella isn't your typical visitor to Santa's grotto – she's a Golden Retriever, and she's part of a growing trend that's transforming Britain's holiday traditions. It used to be that a trip to see Santa was a moment reserved exclusively for the kids, a chance to capture toothy grins and whispered gift requests in a timeless holiday snapshot. But these days, Santa’s knee has more than just children vying for attention. Increasingly, the jingle of bells in a crowded grotto includes the soft patter of paws, wagging tails, and the occasional contented purr. Across the UK, pet owners are clamouring to capture that perfect festive moment with their furry companions by snapping holiday photos with Father Christmas himself. From Dobbies Garden Centres hosting “Santa Paws” sessions to independent pet boutiques and even select Pets at Home stores embracing the trend, it’s clear that the bond between owner and animal has never been stronger. Once considered a novelty, these events are now firmly entrenched in the Christmas calendar, drawing pet parents who see their dogs, cats, and even the occasional exotic creature as true members of the family. Why Owners Are Embracing the Trend In an era defined by social media and personal expression, festive pet photos offer something genuinely heart-warming. For many, their four-legged companion is as much a child as any human offspring. Including pets in the seasonal ritual of “meeting Santa” not only enriches family traditions but produces the kind of shareable snapshots that brighten social feeds and stir conversations. The cherry on top? Many Santa Paws events double as charitable fundraisers, with proceeds going to animal welfare charities – a gift that keeps on giving, both to pet owners and the broader community. The Business Angle The UK’s pet industry continues to boom, with owners enthusiastically investing in premium products and services. Offering Santa photo sessions is a smart move for retailers and venues looking to engage a dedicated, passionate customer base. Richard McKay of Sprung who sell specialist flooring for dogs explained “Many garden centres, like Dobbies, transform parts of their Christmas grottos into pet-friendly wonderlands and land offer costumed photo opportunities, it’s a natural extension of a marketplace that already thrives on special treats and pampering services. Some retailers even designate special “pet hours,” ensuring a calmer atmosphere that reduces stress on animals while drawing in enthusiastic customers keen on making a day of it.” Tips for a Stress-Free Pet Photo Session Planning your pet’s encounter with Santa doesn’t have to be complicated. To ensure everyone enjoys the experience, give your dog a good walk beforehand to burn off excess energy. Arriving early or booking a quieter slot can help reduce your pet’s anxiety, and always have a handful of their favourite treats on hand to maintain focus. For a festive flair, consider a comfy, themed jumper or a collar with bells, but remember that comfort is key. With the right preparation, that photo you’ve been dreaming of – complete with your pet’s best “smile” – can become a treasured keepsake. A Reflection of Changing Times Ultimately, the rise of Santa pet photos symbolises more than just a fun trend; it reflects changing attitudes towards pets in society. From family photos hung above the fireplace to Instagram posts that spread cheer to friends around the world, these images capture a growing cultural consensus: Our pets are not just welcome at the Christmas party, they’re at the heart of it. As the holiday spirit flows, Santa’s grotto welcomes all creatures great and small, and that’s one tradition sure to endure.
