GRID Launches GRID Odds, a Live Esports Betting Service for Gambling Operators

GRID, the esports data and technology platform, announced the launch of GRID Odds, now live for CS2, Dota 2, Valorant and League of Legends.

This brings together official data, proprietary models and specialist trading expertise to build a scalable, data-driven esports odds portfolio.

Building on years of direct partnerships with esports Rights Holders, GRID is broadening its portfolio. Beyond official live in-game data, streaming, and fan engagement tools, the company now introduces GRID Odds, offering clients:

Accurate, data-driven pricing. GRID Odds combines proprietary models with specialist trading expertise to deliver accurate and competitive odds across pre-match and live esports markets.

Core markets at scale. Match winner, map winner, handicaps, and totals at maximum uptime coming straight from the server data advantage.

Player props. Per-player markets priced off the server’s per-player event stream: [kills, headshots, assists, deaths].

In-round markets, beyond traditional map betting. GRID Odds enables markets to open and settle within individual rounds, including round winner, first blood, bomb plant and clutch, creating multiple betting opportunities throughout every map.

Those markets exist because of where the data comes from. GRID holds official data rights with Riot Games, Ubisoft, KRAFTON, ESL FACEIT Group and BLAST, and captures in-game telemetry directly from the game server at sub-200ms latency on core live feeds, with 99.9% platform uptime. GRID has spent nearly a decade extracting and supplying the official data that the industry relies on to price its esports betting markets, and now it expands to the prices themselves, bringing the platform within reach of a segment it has not previously been able to serve directly.

Esports betting has now arrived and is the fastest-growing in-play sport on the board. GRID Odds arrives as in-play betting becomes the center of the sportsbook. Live stakes now exceed 70% of online esports betting in most major markets. Turning that opportunity into sustainable returns depends on accurate pricing, effective risk management and reliable market availability.

But the value is not simply in offering more markets. It’s about delivering fast, accurate pricing at scale, with the data, models and trading expertise to drive sustainable margin.

Volume is following. Regulated esports betting reached an estimated €14 billion in wagers in 2025, according to GRID’s internal analysis, with CS2, League of Legends, Dota 2 and VALORANT accounting for the majority. In prediction markets, Polymarket recorded $790 million in esports volume in July 2026, a platform record and 33% up on June. GRID Odds covers all four titles responsible for that growth.

The GRID Odds business is led by Thomas Warburton, GRID’s co-founder and Chief Business Officer, who spent over a decade across sportsbooks and official data before GRID, at Sky Betting & Gaming and Genius Sports. GRID has appointed Evgeniy Bekker as VP of Trading, who has built the trading operation from the ground up and previously served as Director of Trading at BETER. Bekker has more than 18 years of experience in the iGaming industry across sportsbook management, pre-match and live trading, and risk management.

Thomas Warburton, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer of GRID, said: “GRID has been built on a single conviction: esports betting success depends on official data access. GRID Odds is the logical, scalable extension of that position. The exclusive data access is where the distinction becomes concrete. In-map player options and in-round micro markets are not a modelling choice but rather are a question of access. Leveraging that access for our customers is why GRID Odds stands out in the market, letting us serve far more operators who are serious about esports. I am glad to have Evgeniy leading the trading side. He brings the experience to drive the business forward, with a team behind him that knows the success lies in the product.”
