Hi all. I can say that your risks will lie in choosing a bookmaker, so I advise you to choose a reliable site. I mean there are a lot of bookmakers out there right now, but not all of them offer esports betting. Therefore, if I were you, I would choose a reliable bookmaker such as https://wewatch.gg/dota2/players. I have been playing and betting at this bookmaker for a year now and am very pleased with my choice.
