CS2, Dota 2, $55K Freebets: Dexsport's Esports Calendar Plan
Web3 betting platform Dexsport is closing out August with a $55,000 esports campaign built around two of the season’s biggest competitive events: the CS2 Esports World Cup and Dota 2’s The International 2026.
The campaign combines a free-to-enter prediction format for CS2 with a betting leaderboard for Dota 2. With both promotions scheduled to end on August 23, users now have their final opportunity to join.
The timing also comes amid a wider expansion of Dexsport’s esports and Web3 offering, including its partnership with OG’s Counter-Strike 2 roster and the recent launch of a dedicated Prediction Markets section.
Two Tournaments, Two Formats
Dexsport has allocated $5,000 in freebets to its CS2 EWC Pick’em, running from August 12 through August 23.
The format lets users submit predictions on selected Esports World Cup matches without making a deposit or placing a real-money wager. Correct predictions generate leaderboard points based on the odds available when the pick is submitted.
The $5,000 freebet pool is shared among the top 50 eligible participants.
Prize qualification includes several additional conditions. Users need at least 300 leaderboard points and 10 submitted predictions, as well as a minimum of three settled real-money bets on different CS2 EWC matches with at least $20 in combined stakes.
For Dota 2, Dexsport has taken a more competition-driven approach.
The International 2026 Challenge carries a $50,000 freebet pool and ranks participants according to qualifying betting volume accumulated after they activate the promotion.
Both winning and losing settled bets on The International can count. Eligible wagers require a minimum $10 stake and odds of 1.3 or higher. The top 50 participants receive freebets, with $20,000 allocated to first place.
“At Dexsport, we want to bring a Web3-native experience to different areas of betting, and esports is one of the spaces we care about most. Major tournaments and the communities around them are naturally a big part of that. We’re happy to give both new and existing users – especially CS2 and Dota 2 fans – more ways to engage with the events they already follow, combining the betting experience with community-driven formats and the flexibility of Web3,” said Ivan Muller, CEO of Dexsport.
Esports Meets a Broader Web3 Product
The August campaign sits alongside several other developments at Dexsport in 2026.
Earlier this year, the company became the headline sponsor and official betting partner of OG’s Counter-Strike 2 roster. The team now competes as OG.Dexsport, giving the Web3 betting brand a direct presence within the CS2 competitive scene.
Dexsport has also rolled out Prediction Markets, where users can take positions on defined future outcomes rather than conventional match odds. Current categories extend beyond sports into areas such as crypto, economics and other events.
That creates a broader mix of formats across the platform: traditional pre-match and live betting, esports tournament leaderboards, Pick’em contests and event-based prediction markets.
