Live betting and streams

Streams: no streams. In-play CS2 odds move after every round, so a fast, stable bet slip matters more than in most sports.

Many bookmakers pause CS2 live markets during key moments of a round and reopen them between rounds; the length of those pauses decides how usable live betting is.

Payments

Supported methods: Cards, bank transfer, PayPal, e-wallets. Methods, limits and fees differ by country, so check the cashier before the first deposit.

Withdrawals usually go back to the deposit method, and a first withdrawal often triggers identity checks. Upload documents early to avoid delays during the Major.
