This is what Re-Play eSports™ brings to the table, powered by official in-game data and video feeds courtesy of GRID, a specialist in game data solutions for the eSports and gaming industry.
CS:GO fans can now engage with the game like never before, placing bets on various outcomes, from predicting the winning team to the first kill and the total number of survivors. It's an immersive experience that not only draws in new players but keeps seasoned bettors on the edge of their seats.
