Sports betting company BetXchange has noticed the growing popularity of e-sport events and is now offering betting odds on the Dota 2 International tournament to South African punters.

BetXchange has a South African presence, with 8 branches across the country and a website offering live-betting across a variety of sports.

To check out the Dota 2 International betting options, head on over to the BetXchange site.

Dota 2 betting is apparently only the beginning, with plans to add betting for other e-sport tournaments on titles such as Starcraft 2, League of Legends, Counter Strike: GO, and Black Ops.

Would you make use of such a betting service and place down real-money bets for the Dota 2 International tournament? Let us know in the comments and forum.
