The Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) has approved wagering on Call of Duty League.

Licensed bookmakers in the state will now be able to post and accept bets on Call of Duty League matches throughout 2020 – with head to head, match winner, and overall winner wagers permitted.

Call of Duty League has switched to an entirely online format in response to the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis, with bettors in Nevada getting their first opportunity to bet during the Chicago Huntsmen Home Series from 24-26 April.

In-play betting will remain prohibited and any additional markets, other than the three already cleared, will require separate applications and approvals.

As we previously reported, Nevada has recently approved betting on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, League of Legends, Dota 2, iRacing, and Overwatch.

Hats off to the NGCB for speeding up esports betting application approvals – it is sure to be appreciated by both the betting industry and punters alike during these difficult times. As esports proves popular and the regulator becomes more comfortable regarding integrity, we’re sure further approvals will be announced.
