Online skill-based games are online games in which the outcome of the game is determined by the player's physical skill (like fast reaction or dexterity) or mental skill (logic abilities, strategic thinking, trivia knowledge). As in off-line games of skill, the definition has legal meaning, as playing games of chance for money is an illegal act in several countries. (Source: Wikipedia)

Online skill-based games are online games

If it's about computer games I know that Quake3, Counter-Strike and Starcraft/Warcraft had a fairly big base of serious users. All three are hand-eye coordination type of agility games (plus the last one is a strategic thinking based).

Best Polish counter-strike team has been good enough to win this years WCG (World Cyber Games) in China which is a pretty big achievement. So called proffesional gaming in Poland is still a toddler, I don't know of many polish players beside mentioned counter-strike team who earns for a living by playing games - hence there ain't many polish skill-gaming platforms.

The only one I know is:

esport.pl
cybersport.pl

And of course particular games have their own main sites with leagues and such..
