THERE is a lot of hard cash sloshing around competitive gaming these days, with millions being dished out to players of well-known games such as DOTA 2, Overwatch and Fortnite.

There's now a new player in the game, as adult-oriented publisher Nutaku just announced its own Lewd Gaming Championship, with £19,000 ($25,000) up for grabs.

The Lewd Gaming Championship puts $25,000 on the table for eager dirty-minded gamers

The gameplay itself features 3D tank battles in a variety of scenarios

64 gamers will enter the world's first adult gaming esports tournament using TnT's "intense mobile tank warfare".

The tournament will be online, and feature gamers from all corners of the globe, with a mix of online entrants and participants picked by tournament organisers and partners.

All the entrants will get a 12-month membership to adult entertainment site YouPorn, who are sponsoring the event.

It's not YouPorn's first foray into competitive gaming - the site has its own Team YP competing in Overwatch and Super Smash Bros tournaments.

The campaign mode is certainly not short of titillation

TnT is described as an HD mobile game featuring tank-to-tank combat against both the AI in a single-player campaign featuring "sexy militants" and other busty anime beauties.

The gameplay itself is mostly not of an adult nature, though it features hentai collectables which most definitely are.

Due to to the game's adult content it's only available on Android, and even then only via direct download from Nutaku rather than in the Play Store.

Nutaku told Sun Online that they "wanted to put this tournament together for all the adult gamers out there who are passionate about eSports."

That audience is growing, with the site now registering 75 million visits every month.

There are a number of different options for online competition

"We’re aware of the stigma surrounding the adult entertainment industry," Nutaku says, "but we don’t think it makes eSports any less legitimate. Our platform has over 75 million monthly visits, and we can see an increasing demand for 18+ games."

They feature PC and VR games such as Sexbot: Quality Assurance Simulator as well as a range of mobile titles.

If you want to enter the competition, details on how will be posted on Nutaku's website in the coming weeks.
