But if you want to bet on a small event, like a challenger tour match, you will only find limited markets and most likely only from the day before the event. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/08\/csgo-character-3.png.webp\" alt=\"CS:GO\" width=\"280\" class=\"alignright lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 734px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 734\/990;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/csgo-character-3.png\" alt=\"CS:GO\" width=\"280\" class=\"alignright\" \/><\/noscript>Some of the most popular bet types that you will find at Counter Strike betting sites include outright tournament winner, head to head markets like match winner, match scores and so on. There will also be markets for things like tournament VIP or most head shots in a certain match. Basically CS2 betting sites are expanding their odds range surrounding this game all the time. <\/p>\n<p>What Counter-Strike 2 betting sites you can sign up at will largely be determined by your location and gambling laws. For instance, many states in the USA now have regulated sports betting, while other countries like the United Kingdom, Australia, some states in Canada and much of Europe has regulated betting. This essentially means you can only bet with CS2 betting sites that have got a license to operate in your country. <\/p>\n<p>Other players hunting for CS2 betting sites that are in a country like New Zealand, that does not have regulated sports betting, will find that they can bet on esports at offshore betting sites.

This could be that an event simply has less interest around it, so there are less markets or a bookie may not have branched out extensively into esports. The EsportBet.com team strive to only recommend the best CS2 betting sites that feature extensive odds on professional matches. <\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"color\">The main betting markets available on Counter-Strike 2 esports competitions and tournaments are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"pageList mb arrows\">\n<li><strong>Draw<\/strong>: You are placing a bet on whether the outcome of the CS2 match results in a draw.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Group of Winner<\/strong>: You are placing a bet on the group which contains the overall final winner of the entire tournament. This is a great way to get decent odds, on very good players early in the CS2 esports event.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Group Winner<\/strong>: You are placing a bet on the winning group of the specified CS2 tournament (if teams are organised in groups). This CS2 bet type has continued to grow in popularity and is available at many betting sites.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CS2 Handicap bet<\/strong>: You are placing a bet on whether the team with the handicap advantage or disadvantage wins. Example: You place a bet on Team A, which has a 3 round advantage against Team B at a Major CS2 esports tourmament. The final score is 8 &#8211; 10, but with the 3 round handicap, Team A wins with the revised score of 11 &#8211; 10, which means your wager is paid out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Over\/Under<\/strong>: You are placing a bet on the number a sportsbook predicts for a particular statistic in a given game (most often combined score of the two teams, also factors such as total kills and first to markets); whether the actual number in the game is either higher or lower than the bookmaker\/sportbook&#8217;s odds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Region Winner<\/strong>: You are placing a bet on the specific region the winner is from, if the tournament separates them by region.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total Rounds<\/strong>: You are placing a bet on whether the overall match will go over or under a certain number of rounds. Many CS2 sportsbooks have not got this market available when Major events roll around.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Special types Counter-Strike 2 eSports bets<\/h3>\n<p>These are more exotic types of betting markets available for Counter-Strike 2 at online and mobile sportsbooks.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"pageList arrows\">\n<li><strong>Map Betting<\/strong>: You are placing a bet on the team that has the best

Counter-Strike<\/h2>\n<p>Amateurs, third party esports organisations and developer Valve themselves established Counter-Strike: Global Offensive as a serious esport soon after its initial release in 2012, and it has quickly risen to the top of the esports circuit, owing to its highly competitive multiplayer gameplay design and brand recognition from previous entries in the long-running series. Many tournament professional gaming organisers like the <a href=\"\/electronic-sports-league\/\">Electronic Sports League<\/a>, <a href=\"\/electronic-sports-league\/intel-extreme-masters\/\">Intel Extreme Masters<\/a> and <a href=\"\/major-league-gaming\/\">Major League Gaming<\/a> host <em>CS:GO<\/em> tournaments all year round, with prize-pools first starting around $200,000 and eventually ballooning past the $1 million mark from 2015 onwards. <\/p>\n<p>The competitive esports scene has continued to develop around CS:GO, with Valve and its flagship Steam product, finding ways to stamp out online cheating. One of the biggest anti-cheating measures was rolled out in November 2017, when the &#8220;Trust Factor&#8221; was announced. This takes into consideration things like the players actions in-game, have they been reported for cheating and even encompasses the wider Steam network, where your actions could impact your Trust Factor. <\/p>\n<p>On December 6, 2018, Valve announced Counter Strike would be 100% free to play following a patch update. Users who already owned the game were given &#8220;Prime&#8221; status as a thank you, while other players are given the option to upgrade. Around this time, Calve also released an offline version of the game, which allows you to play against bots without an internet connection. A new game mode Danger Zone, with the Battle Royale format, was also added around this time. <\/p>\n<p>Developer Valve co-sponsors and organises many esports events for <em>CS:GO<\/em>, called &#8216;Majors&#8217;, and these are the competitions which boast the biggest prize pools of them all. <\/p>\n<p>Operation Shattered Web was released in November of 2019, which is very similar to other operations. A new battle pass system, characters and other features were included in the latest update. <\/p>\n<p>The 2019 CSGO esports season was dominated by Danish powerhouse Astralis, which managed to win both the StarLadder Berlin Major and the Katowice Major. Astralis also won the last CS GO major of 2018, firmly putting them as the team to beat heading into the 2020 CSGO season. <\/p>\n<p>After years of speculation and multiple leaks, Valve announced during 2023 that they were working on and expecting to release the next version of Counter-Strike, with it to be named Counter-Strike 2.<\/p>\n<p>In September 2023, the full game was released and from October 2023, all tournament will be played on Counter-Strike 2. The first Major on Counter-Strike 2 will be the PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen in March of 2024.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Other games in the Counter Strike series<\/h2>\n<p>Counter Strike was first released in 1999 for Windows and was a mod for the popular FPS engine used in Half Life. In its existence, there have been four different editions of Counter Strike, but it has been Global Offensive that has made this series into one of the biggest esports on the planet. <\/p>\n<div class=\"personDiv\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/counter_strike_half_life.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Counter Strike - Half Life original edition\" width=\"150\" class=\"alignright lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 200\/240;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/counter_strike_half_life.jpg\" alt=\"Counter Strike - Half Life original edition\" width=\"150\" class=\"alignright\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h3>Counter Strike (1999)<\/h3>\n<p>Originally a modified version of the Half Life engine, Valve bought the developers and code base for Counter Strike in the year 2000. The game was a smash hit from the outset, with LAN competitions all over the world. The first professional fantasy esports league was launched in 2004, surrounding Counter Strike, with some crediting this decision with the games longevity and ability to thrive in a crowded esports market. Globally Counter Strike sold 1.5 million units in a two year period from its release.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"personDiv\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/cs_condition_zero.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Counter Strike Condition Zero\" width=\"150\" class=\"alignright lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 200\/243;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/cs_condition_zero.jpg\" alt=\"Counter Strike Condition Zero\" width=\"150\" class=\"alignright\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h3>Counter Strike: Condition Zero (2004)<\/h3>\n<p>Counter Strike: Condition Zero was the follow up to the original title, with it hit with mixed reviews. Developed bu Turtle Rock Studios, Condition Zero, graphics wise, was very similar to the original. How it was different was an included single-player mode, that allowed you to play a campaign, or essentially follow an adventure. CS Condition Zero is comparison to what was to come made very little impact in sales and buzz, with it failing to outshine the original.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"personDiv\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/08\/cs-source.jpg.webp\" alt=\"CS:Source\" class=\"alignright\" class=\"block-img lazyload\" width=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/671;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cs-source.jpg\" alt=\"CS:Source\" class=\"alignright\" class=\"block-img\" width=\"150\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h3>Counter Strike: Source (2004)<\/h3>\n<p>Counter Strike: Source was released in 2004 and was the first big shake-up of the game, with it running on the Source engine. Released for Beta testing on August 11, 2004, Counter Strike: Source was given rave reviews, and quickly gained popularity, first being packaged free with Half Life 2, and then given a stand-alone release.

Remarkably there has not been another release in the series, since CS:GO but this is not surprising given the strong numbers that still play it and the huge profits the company makes, largely through its ownership of Steam. CS GO is available on the PS3, XBOX360, Mac and PC. It&#8217;s largely the PC version of CSGO that competitive esports is played via, with many of the tournaments and leagues boasting millions of viewers via streams and millions in prize money. CS:GO will go down as one of the best esports to hold tournaments, with many memories and legends made during the 10-year history of the title.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"personDiv\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Counter-Strike-2.webp\" alt=\"CS GO bets online\" width=\"150\" class=\"alignright lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/900;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Counter-Strike-2.webp\" alt=\"CS GO bets online\" width=\"150\" class=\"alignright\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h3>Counter-Strike 2 (2023)<\/h3>\n<p>Counter-Strike 2 was the fifth release in the CS series, again running on the Source engine and being developed by Valve. After 10 years of tournament play on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, players and coaches will have to transfer everything they know to the new and improved game. Every upcoming tournament from 2023 onwards will now be played on Counter-Strike 2, with huge prize pools attached to big events and Majors set to begin in 2024.\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<!-- Table view:

questions<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"pageList mb\">\n<li><strong>How do I watch CS2 online?<\/strong> Counter-Strike is one of the most popular esports, with millions of people tuning in to watch it via streaming services such as Twitch and Youtube. <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/counter-strike\/where-to-watch\/\">Streaming Counter-Strike<\/a> can also be done via some esports betting sites, while it will always be free to watch. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Is it legal to bet on CS2?<\/strong> This will largely depend on where you are in the world, with CS 2 betting laws determined by the government in your country, or even state. For instance in the USA, sports betting is only legal in some USA states, although this is changing rapidly following the successful repel of the PASPA ruling by the state of New Jersey.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Who is the best Counter-Strike player in the world?<\/strong> There are a number of players that could lay claim to the title of &#8220;best Counter-Strike player&#8221; and it can change from tournament to tournament, or even day to day, with form and other factors playing a role. At the time of writing Ukranian S1mple is regarded as the best player in Counter-Strike. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Is betting on CS2 easy?<\/strong> The more you know about professional CS 2 the more luck you will have betting on it. If you are a newcomer to CS 2 betting it pays to do some research about the match you are going to bet on. For instance have the teams played before? Who dominated? Is there any players missing this time around? Like all esports betting, the more you know about the pro circuit the more informed bets you will be able to make. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CS2 Events Betting Guide &#038;
