This study is expected to contribute to the literature by dealing with the concepts of esports and cyberbullying and to shed light on both academicians and practitioners about cyberbullying behaviors, types, potential risks, and precautions in esports business. Esports can make a significant contribution to promoting digital citizenship skills, as it contributes to the development of community awareness of cyberbullying that is necessary not only for the players but also for the whole society and esports business.
