Sažetak
The Sars-CoV-2 pandemic marked world history, including sports history. In addition to
numerous legal, economic, medical and scientific challenges, the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic has
significantly affected the development of sports. With the closure of farms, social and sporting
events to combat the spread of the contagion, there has been a rapid development of e-sports that
has in a way replaced traditional sports by playing popular video games. The fact that this is a
serious phenomenon is evidenced by the growing number of viewers and participants in video
games compared to viewers of traditional sports, as well as the amount of money circulating in such
virtual circles. However, the development of e-sports consequently leads to certain criminal law
challenges that are manifested through various forms of manipulation, illegal betting and e-doping.
Manipulations of sports competitions are not a novelty in the field of sports globally, but in such
a specific virtual environment they gain a new dimension. In this paper, the authors analyze the
criminal law challenges that arise in the field of e-sports, especially when playing video games
commit various forms of crime such as manipulation, illegal betting, money laundering, e-doping
and the like.
