Kick is offering free subs for playing CS2, here’s how to get them
Counter-Strike 2 players can now earn free subs on Kick by completing a simple Kick Bounty, and we’ve put together a quick guide for just how these subs can be had with a few quick CS2 sessions.
In 2025, Kick introduced a “Bounties” program to reward both streamers and viewers for staying active on the platform. By completing these bounty challenges, users can earn various rewards, most of which are usable within Kick, while only a few extend beyond it. These bounties are usually tied directly to popular games that are being streamed on Kick, and this time, the platform has rolled out one centered around CS2.
In the new Kick Bounty, five winners can earn 100 gifted subs by hitting 50 kills in a Deathmatch. However, there’s an important list of eligibility requirements in place to keep the challenge fair.
These are the rules players must follow in order to claim the latest CS2 Kick bounty and its free subs:
- Deathmatch must be played on the official Valve server
- Solo queue only
- Must be played in Defusal Group Alpha or Delta
- At least eight players should be on the server
- The scoreboard should be visible at the end of the clip

All participants must share a video of themselves completing the challenge under the official entry post on X. If a clip is legit, players will enter a lucky draw, and five winners will win 100 gifted subs.
How to start a Kick Bounty
The CS2 challenge isn’t the only bounty that Kick is running at the moment, and starting a new bounty challenge is as simple as selecting it on the streaming platform and getting into the relevant game or streaming activity. The Stake-owned platform almost always has some sort of bounty active that players can partake in.
These simple steps are typically all that’s required:
- Go to the official Kick Bounties page.
- Open the All Bounties section from the main menu.
- Click on the drop-down menu on the right side.
- Select Active from the options to see challenges that are currently available.
- Choose the challenge you want to join (for example, the Deathmatch task).
- Click the green Open button to view.
- Select Enter after reading the guidelines to start the bounty.
In bounty most challenges, Kick asks participants to post a clip of the task being completed in the entry thread on X. Some bounties also require you to stream the challenge live under the Kick Bounties category, but not all of them do. For example, one current bounty involves clipping Kick streamers eating a sandwich and sharing it online.
When multiple people attempt the same challenge, winners are usually decided through a lucky draw. The eligibility criteria can vary depending on the game and the bounty itself, so it’s worth checking the rules carefully before jumping in.
Kick Bounties are an excellent way to make your watch and playing time even more worthwhile by potentially earning something along the way. The platform is constantly adding new challenges, so make sure you keep an eye on the official website and Kick socials to participate in those new bounties when they pop up.
