BETBY has introduced a custom-made Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) league for CSGOEmpire.

Integrated into BETBY’s esports content portfolio BETBY Games, the newly launched exclusive league looks to fully replicate the lifecycle of a real CS2 match. The supplier explained that it follows a best-of-three (BO3) format with a maximum of 24 rounds (MR24) and overtime, incorporating side switches, weapon purchases, bomb plants and ‘all the mechanics that define real CS2 gameplay’.

Kirill Nekrasov, Head of Sportsbook Product at BETBY, said: “Our partnership with CSGOEmpire to develop a custom CS2 league highlights our ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of innovation in esports betting. 

“We have meticulously designed this league to replicate the real dynamics of professional CS2 gameplay, ensuring that CSGOEmpire’s users enjoy an authentic and engaging experience that cannot be found anywhere else.”

The initiative is part of BETBY’s broader strategic collaboration with Moonrail Limited, the parent company of CSGOEmpire. 

Through the deal, the company has provided both its technology and services with the aim of enhancing CSGOEmpire’s sportsbook operations.

Esports has become big business in the betting sector, and CS:GO is one of the scene’s most widely played titles. In BETBY’s case, this is hardly the first move the firm has made in CS:GO lately, following the addition of player prop markets to its product late last year.

In recent weeks, the firm also announced that it is expanding the reach of its proprietary esports product through a partnership with Softlabs. The solution is now available to all operators on Softlabs’ partner network.

“At CSGOEmpire, we are always looking for ways to bring our users the most authentic and immersive esports betting experiences,” added a representative from CSGOEmpire on the new deal. 

“BETBY’s ability to develop a fully customised CS2 league that mirrors real gameplay is a game-changer for us. This exclusive league not only strengthens our brand identity but also provides our community with a truly unique betting product they won’t find anywhere else.”
