GG.BET has announced the launch of a dedicated €20,000 betting tournament to coincide with Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) Krakow 2026, one of the most anticipated Counter-Strike 2 events of the year. Running from January 22 to February 9, the promotion rewards GG.BET customers for placing winning bets on CS2 matches, with the top 100 participants sharing the total prize pool.
Betting meets competition during IEM Krakow
IEM Krakow 2026 will take place from January 28 to February 8, marking a historic moment for the Intel Extreme Masters series. For the first time, the iconic IEM playoffs will move away from Katowice and be hosted in Krakow, adding an extra layer of excitement to an already legendary esports tournament.
As the world’s best CS2 teams battle on the main stage, GG.BET is offering fans an opportunity to compete off the server through its Legendary Krakow Tournament, designed to reward consistency and smart betting throughout the event.
How the GG.BET tournament works
Participation in the tournament is simple and open to eligible customers:
- Log in or register at GG.BET (21+ only).
- Navigate to the Competition section, select “Legendary Krakow Tournament”, and click Join.
All winning bets placed on IEM Krakow 2026 and other CS2 tournaments at odds of 1.50 or higher count toward the leaderboard. Each successful bet earns points equal to the stake amount — for example, a €100 winning bet earns 100 points.
€20,000 prize pool and leaderboard rewards
The tournament features a €20,000 total prize pool, distributed among the top 100 players on the leaderboard. The highest-ranked participants can earn cash prizes of up to €2,000, making every winning wager an opportunity to climb the standings.
The more points accumulated during the tournament period, the greater the chance of securing a top-100 finish and a share of the prize money.
Multiple betting options, including Bet Builder
GG.BET customers can earn points using a wide range of betting formats, including:
- Single bets
- Accumulators
- System bets
Players can also take advantage of Bet Builder, which allows the creation of custom bets by combining multiple markets from a single CS2 match. Available options include map winner, individual player kills, total rounds played, and other popular CS2 markets, often with boosted combined odds.
A timely promotion for CS2 esports fans
With IEM Krakow 2026 set to redefine the Intel Extreme Masters legacy and showcase elite Counter-Strike 2 competition, GG.BET’s €20,000 tournament offers fans an additional way to engage with the action. By combining esports knowledge with strategic betting, participants can turn every winning pick into leaderboard points and real cash rewards.
