Esports World Cup Foundation Launches Official Fantasy Platform with $200,000 Prize Pool
The cross-game initiative invites fans to predict outcomes, build fantasy rosters, and compete for prizes while advancing interactive fan participation at EWC 2025
The Esports World Cup Foundation (EWCF) today unveiled Fantasy at the Esports World Cup 2025, an interactive experience that invites fans around the world to participate in the tournament through prediction, competition, and strategy. With a dedicated prize pool of $200,000 USD, the launch represents a significant expansion of the global fan experience at EWC 2025, the world’s largest esports and gaming event, and marks a new step in fan engagement, digital innovation, and community participation.
The fantasy experience is available now through the official EWC 2025 Game Hub, a unique, cross-game fantasy platform at esports, at fantasy.esportsworldcup.com and through the EWC mobile app on iOS and Android devices.
“The Esports World Cup is built to serve every level of the esports ecosystem – from grassroots fans to the world’s top Clubs and players,” said Mike McCabe, COO of the Esports World Cup Foundation. “With the launch of Fantasy, fans can connect more deeply with the competition – competing with friends, representing their favourite Clubs, and putting their game knowledge to the test. It turns spectators into participants and makes every match matter more.”
Real-time scoring, intuitive navigation, and built-in social sharing features make it easy for fans to stay connected and engaged throughout the tournament, whether they’re competing with friends, representing their favourite Clubs, or simply putting their game knowledge to the test.
The Fantasy suite at EWC 2025 features two distinct formats designed to broaden participation and reward strategic thinking. Pick’ems across all 24 game titles allows fans to predict the top eight finishers for each tournament. Using a drag-and-drop interface, players can lock in their predictions before each event begins and accumulate points based on the accuracy of their rankings. Participation is free, with a total of $100,000 in prizes awarded to top Pick’ems performers.
Fantasy League, live once each tournament begins, offers a deeper layer of engagement. Focused on five titles – VALORANT, Dota 2, League of Legends, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and Counter-Strike 2 – the format allows fans to become the CEO of their dream team, and assemble a virtual roster using a $100 million fictional budget. Participants draft their teams, improve their roster via substitutions, strategic transfers, and boosters, track player statistics in real time, and score points based on actual in-game performance. $100,000 in prizes will be distributed amongst the highest-ranking Fantasy League players.
Each title within the Fantasy League has a tailored scoring system, designed to reflect the nuances of its competitive format. Both Pick’ems and Fantasy League are available via the mobile app and desktop, in English and Arabic, entirely free to play, with built-in sharing features and leaderboard tracking that foster ongoing competition throughout the tournament.

There are thousands of bets placed on Betandyou every single day. Some place small bets, some go big, and sometimes someone hits a win that stands out from everything else.
That’s exactly what happened this November – one of our players placed just $12 and hit a life-changing $54,719 payout!
What Happened Before the Big Win
It all started like any ordinary bet. Football filled the screens – Manchester, Barcelona, Milan, Porto.
The player with ID 6301********, a part of our community since June 2023, opened the Betandyou app and placed his usual pick. No big stake. No drama. Just a regular moment of excitement for the game.
The Four Predictions That Changed Everything
A $12 accumulator and four football matches. Most impressively, exact score predictions – something you don’t see every day and a true sign of confidence. And here’s how the night unfolded:
- Manchester City – Bournemouth: 3–1
- Barcelona – Elche: 3–1
- Milan – Roma: 1–0
- Porto – Braga: 2–1
One by one, the results started to fall into place. The first two games, perfect 3:1 calls. Then Milan held Roma to 1:0. And finally, Porto sealed it with a 2:1 win. Four matches. Four exact scores.
4560 Odds: A Moment You Can’t Predict
- Total odds? 4560.
- The payout? That’s $54,719!
When the final whistle blew, the numbers on the screen told a story we don’t see every day, the kind of win that makes your heart skip a beat and your hands tremble just a little before hitting “Check balance.” That’s the kind of moment every bettor dreams about, when the impossible suddenly becomes reality.
CEO Betandyou: Official Comment
“Wins like this always draw attention,” says the CEO of Betandyou. “But what excites us even more is the story behind it. Our players don’t just bet, they feel the game. They analyze, they take risks, they follow their passion. This win isn’t just luck; it’s the perfect mix of intuition, strategy, and a love for football. At Betandyou, we live for moments like these, because every big win starts with a small belief.”
More Than Just Numbers
This player has been with us for more than a year, and this time their loyalty, patience, and boldness paid off in the best possible way. It’s not really about the amount – it’s about that feeling when your choices turn into something real. When your screen lights up and you realize that yes, you just did that.
At Betandyou, that magic happens every day, sometimes quietly, sometimes spectacularly. But one thing is certain: there’s always another story waiting to be written.
So who knows? Maybe the next headline will be yours.
Stay in the game with Betandyou!

This year has seen an explosion in uptake of the service, with strong uptake globally, with Brazil, the UK, the US, Romania, Canada, Kenya and South Africa showing the highest levels of engagement.
BetBlocker’s Founder and Managing Trustee, Duncan Garvie had this to say:
“We invested a lot in 2024 improving our data, to allow us to communicate accurately the performance of our project to our supporters, and to build confidence via transparency. That’s meant ensuring that our data is exactly what we say it is and a focus on making our data easy to understand. We don’t talk about downloads. The number would be higher, but far less meaningful. When we talk about “active users” it means “users with an active BetBlocker restriction in 2025.”
I’ve been blown away by the rate of growth that BetBlocker has seen this year. We would never have imagined that this type of growth was possible at the start of the year, but the rapid and sustained upward trend strongly evidences that there is a huge need for free and anonymous support for gambling harm.
That uptake is distributed so broadly across the globe also demonstrates how universal the need for support managing access to online gambling services is in the digital age.”
