Some of our favourite esports betting sites include websites like Bet365, Picklebet, Unibet and Leo Vegas although none of these are currently taking bets on Honor of Kings. Whether you can bet on Honor of Kings esports will largely be determined by your location and what esports bettings sites you have available.

For instance, Honor of Kings betting sites are much more likely to accept Chinese bets, rather than UK bettors, because the game is played heavily in Asia and not at all in the United Kingdom. We expect the access to Honor of Kings betting odds will continue to grow as the game expands outside of mainland China.

Most of the Honor of Kings betting sites we promote on this website have got downloadable apps available. These esports betting apps are generally available for both Android and iOS smartphones and tablets.

Honor of Kings Gameplay

Honor of Kings is similar to the very popular Riot Games developed League of Legends, but instead of being on all PC platforms, Honor of Kings is only on iOS and Android devices.

The main similarities between the Honor of kings and LoL esports gameplay are that you need to destroy the enemy team’s turrets and then win the game by destroying the core building at the enemy team’s base. The player plays the game with a hero that has abilities that you can level up and improve by earning experience and gold.

Honor of Kings have a unique way to play their game with no PvP battling, instead each player has to kill non-player characters to earn experience and gold.

Each account that is used to play Honor of Kings starts at level one and can be levelled up to level 15 as a maximum level. When the account is levelled up, the players account receives in-game bonuses and awards, along with the ability to unlock more summoner abilities and heroes.

There are three game modes that are played in Honor of Kings being 1v1, 3v3 and 5v5. The Rift of Kings (5v5) game mode is the game mode that is played in the competitive esports matches.

Honor of Kings esports history

Since Honor of Kings has only been played in Asia there isn’t a lot of history that has been front and centre on the world stage. The game has grown exponentially over the last three or four years with the game grossing US$2.8 billion in 2021.

Given the success in the Asian markets, there is no reason to think that Honor of Kings will struggle on the global market when its developers release the game in late 2022. With the global release of the game, we should see massive prize pools for major events along with an even larger player pool which could one day see this game become the most popular esports game ever played.
