This study explores the motivations behind students’ engagement in e-sports, focusing on the social, entertainment, technological, financial, cognitive, and psychological factors.

According to the findings, these elements not only operate as important engagement boosters but also show that e-sports is becoming more and more popular as a potential profession and a venue for personal growth. With implications for educational institutions, e-sports organizations, and legislators seeking to create a more welcoming and encouraging atmosphere for players, this study adds significant knowledge on the motives of students in the digital gaming space.
