Dexsport Brings $55,000 in Freebets to CS2 EWC and The International 2026
21-08-2026
Dexsport is putting esports at the center of its August promotions with two tournament campaigns offering a combined $55,000 in freebet rewards across Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2.
The Web3 betting platform is running a $5,000 Pick’em around the CS2 Esports World Cup alongside a separate $50,000 leaderboard challenge for The International 2026. Both promotions are scheduled to close on August 23, putting the campaign into its final stretch.
Rather than repeating the same mechanic across both games, Dexsport has given each tournament its own format.
$5,000 CS2 EWC Pick’em
The
CS2 EWC Pick’em runs from August 12 through August 23 and is free to enter.
Users predict the winners of selected CS2 Esports World Cup matches and collect leaderboard points for correct calls. The number of points depends on the odds attached to the chosen team when the prediction is submitted, meaning a successful higher-odds pick can produce a bigger score.
The top 50 eligible predictors share $5,000 in freebets.
Submitting predictions does not require a deposit or real-money wager. Prize eligibility comes with additional conditions, however: participants need at least 300 points, a minimum of 10 submitted predictions and at least three settled real-money bets on different CS2 EWC matches with a combined stake of $20 or more.
$50,000 Challenge for The International
The Dota 2 campaign follows a different model.
Dexsport’s
The International 2026 Challenge runs from August 13 through August 23, with $50,000 in freebets distributed across the top 50 positions on the leaderboard.
After activating the promotion, users build leaderboard volume through qualifying bets on The International. Both winning and losing settled real-money bets count toward the total. Eligible bets require a minimum stake of $10 and odds of at least 1.3.
The first-place finisher receives $20,000 in freebets, with rewards extending through 50th 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.
Beyond the August Campaigns
The two promotions arrive during a broader period of esports activity for Dexsport.
In May, the platform became the headline sponsor and official betting partner of OG’s Counter-Strike 2 roster. The team now competes under the
OG.Dexsport name, connecting the partnership directly with the CS2 scene.
Dexsport has also launched a dedicated Prediction Markets section in 2026, adding event-based markets across crypto, sports, economics and other topics to its existing sportsbook and casino offering.
Betrush recently
covered one of the more unusual examples: a prediction market asking whether former MMA rivals Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor would get into a physical confrontation at Cristiano Ronaldo’s reported wedding.
The combination of OG.Dexsport, prediction markets and tournament-specific promotions gives the platform several different ways to engage esports audiences without relying on a single format.
For the current campaign, however, there are only a few days left. Both the CS2 EWC Pick’em and The International 2026 Challenge are due to end on August 23, with full participation rules and freebet conditions available on Dexsport.
