Esports live odds provider Oddin.gg and PGL have agreed to a multi-year strategic alliance. Per the agreement, which extends between 2024–2026, Oddin.gg will be the exclusive provider of data and integrity services for PGL, the provider of esports events including Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2.
“Our commitment is to affiliate with the premier entities in esports, and PGL stands out as a peak of excellence within the tournament circuit,” said Oddin.gg Co-founder & Managing Director of Partnerships Marek Suchar in a statement. “Their team has masterfully orchestrated the top three most-watched Counter-Strike and the two most-watched Dota 2 tournaments in history.
“With the dynamic evolution expected in 2025, we are both excited and privileged to align with PGL’s visionary path for the esports community to support, protect and entertain esports fans. This partnership is a strategic step towards enhancing the global esports experience, and we eagerly anticipate the groundbreaking advancements PGL will introduce for Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2 in the years ahead.”
The extended multi-year agreement includes a minimum of eight Dota 2 headline events and at least 11 Tier 1 Counter-Strike 2 tournaments. The competitions will feature elite global teams competing for prize pools of at least $1 million each per tournament.
“At PGL, our core mission is to craft the ultimate esports experience on a global scale,” said PGL CEO Silviu Stroie. “Independence, innovation, and integrity are the pillars we stand on, promoting fairness and sustainability within the esports world.
