World of Tanks betting is a niche market: a handful of bookmakers price matches from Wargaming's 7v7 Onslaught series, mostly as match winner and map winner bets. This page explains those markets, shows how a per-map edge becomes a series price and lists the sites we rank for World of Tanks.
World of Tanks EU news, Onslaught Legends Series: Season 6.
Short answer
You bet on a 7v7 Onslaught match, usually on the winner, sometimes on a single map. Markets are thin and limits low, so the price comparison matters more than on bigger esports. A team that wins 60% of maps takes a best-of-three about 65% of the time.
How it works
Check that the bookmaker lists the Onslaught match or event you want to bet on.
Match length varies by event; a best-of-one is far riskier for the favourite.
Match winner is the cheapest and most widely offered market.
Prices differ between the few sites that carry WoT. Set a deposit limit first.
Markets Example odds
The markets you are likely to find. Example odds, best-of-three.
| Market | You bet on | Example odds | Margin | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Match winner | Who wins the match. | 1.68 / 2.16 | 5.5% | the cheapest market in the example. |
| Map handicap | Team A −1.5 maps must win 2–0. | 2.80 / 1.40 | 6.7% | turns a favourite into a longer price. |
| Map 1 winner | Winner of the first map only. | 1.75 / 2.02 | 6.2% | closer to the per-map chance. |
| Total maps | Over or under 2.5 maps. | 2.05 / 1.70 | 7.1% | a bet on how close the match is. |
Example odds, not live. Market availability varies by bookmaker.

Series maths
If each map is independent with the same chance p, a best-of-three win chance is p² × (3 − 2p).
BO3 = p² × (3 − 2p)
BO5 = p³ × (10 − 15p + 6p²)
Example, p = 0.60: 0.36 × 1.8 = 0.648
2–0 (−1.5 maps) = p² = 36%
| Per map | BO1 | BO3 | BO5 | Fair odds BO3 | BO3 vs BO1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50% | 50.0% | 50.0% | 50.0% | 2.00 | ±0.0 pp |
| 55% | 55.0% | 57.5% | 59.3% | 1.74 | +2.5 pp |
| 60% | 60.0% | 64.8% | 68.3% | 1.54 | +4.8 pp |
| 65% | 65.0% | 71.8% | 76.5% | 1.39 | +6.8 pp |
| 70% | 70.0% | 78.4% | 83.7% | 1.28 | +8.4 pp |
| 75% | 75.0% | 84.4% | 89.6% | 1.19 | +9.4 pp |
| 80% | 80.0% | 89.6% | 94.2% | 1.12 | +9.6 pp |
Pure maths with maps treated as independent. Draft, side choice and momentum break this in real series.

Glossary
You bet on a match between two teams, usually on the match winner, and at some sites on a single map or battle. Competitive World of Tanks is played in the 7v7 Onslaught format in Wargaming's current series.
The scene is small next to CS2 or Dota 2 and prize pools are modest, so bookmakers take smaller stakes. A Wargaming season prize pool can be in the tens of thousands of euros, not millions.
At least 18 at every bookmaker we list, and 21 in some countries. Bookmakers check ID before paying out, and many World of Tanks fans are younger than that: if you are under 18, use this page for information only.
Wargaming runs the Onslaught Champions Series and the Onslaught Legends Series, and community events run alongside them. Bookmakers list only some of these matches, so check the event before you deposit.
Wargaming's competitive play has moved to the Onslaught series. Our Grand Finals page covers the event's history; check Wargaming's news for the current calendar.
In a best-of-three the team must win 2–0. At a 60% chance per map that is 36%, fair odds about 2.78 before the margin.
