GRID launches in-round esports betting markets with GRID Odds
GRID Esports, the data platform specializing in providing in-game data to publishers and operators alike, is adding one more offering to its list of solutions–GRID Odds.
The company announced on LinkedIn yesterday that GRID Odds were going live for Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, VALORANT, and League of Legends.
As a part of this, GRID says that its odds combine proprietary models with specialist trading expertise across pre-match and live esports markets.
Notably, live wagering dominates amongst total bets for most esports tournaments. A recent report by sportsbook solution provider DATA.BET revealed that during the
Esports World Cup (EWC) 2026, live betting accounted for 70.9% of all bets.
GRID
already works with operators through its exists products and solutions, including live esports data, and GRID BET solutions. Its website mentions Data Bet, Bet365, and GGBET amongst the company’s clients.
GRID Odds to offer in-round markets
Now, GRID is moving one step forward by utilizing its data repositories and expertise to generate odds. The company has said that its odds, which would encompass everything from match winner to handicaps, would come straight from server data.
Furthermore, GRID will offer in-round markets, with
betting odds
across markets like first blood, bomb plant, and clutch. These will open and settle within the same round.
“Built on official data direct from the source, GRID Odds is powered by exclusive rights partnerships with some of the biggest rightsholders in the industry — including Riot Games, ESL FACEIT Group, and BLAST,” said Mikael Westerling, the chief sales officer and co-founder at GRID Esports. “It’s live now for CS2, Dota 2, VALORANT, and League of Legends, covering everything from match and map winners to player props and in-round betting.”
GRID has extensive experience with esports data, evidenced by its recent partnership with Riot Games where it powered the publisher’s own LoL Esports’ Crystal Ball during the Mid-Season Invitational with server data.
GRID’s direct partnership with gaming publishers definitely gives it an edge for this new offering. With in-round betting opportunities for CS2 and VALORANT, two of the biggest
esports betting
titles, GRID Odds has the opportunity to shake up the market.
