Bank account for esports league?

I've been attempting to open a bank account for a sim racing league I'm starting. Our model is drivers will pay an entry fee which will be paid back as winnings throughout the season. I've formed an LLC for the venture and have been attempting to apply for a business checking account with no luck. Several banks have suggested my business involves gambling (it does not) and refused to work with me. I've tried online banks too. One issue I think I might have was that when I applied for my EIN number I selected "other" as my business category since none of the options seemed relevant. One banker mentioned this was a red flag for them. But for the most part I'm just getting 1000 yard stares from people who are unable to comprehend esports or how that could be a business.
Anyone ever dealt with this or have any insight?
