Quick Answer: Power.Win’s crypto sportsbook takes esports bets and publishes its own rulebook headings for seven esports titles, including Counter-Strike 2, Valorant and Dota 2. Deposits and payouts are crypto only, and esports bets settle on the official result declared on the match stream. The operator is 3-102-968317 SRL, licensed by the Tobique Gaming Commission, licence 0000209.
Finding a website where you can bet on esports with crypto is the easy part. The hard part is finding one that says, in writing, what happens to your ticket when a player disconnects, a team is given a walkover or a map gets replayed. Power.Win publishes those answers in its rulebook: general esports rules for every match, plus game-specific headings for seven titles. Every deposit and payout runs on crypto from start to finish.
Which esports betting sites accept crypto?
Power.Win’s sportsbook accepts crypto for esports betting from the first deposit to the final payout, with no fiat rail anywhere in the chain. The crypto sportsbook offers betting markets for football, basketball, and esports, pre-match and in-play. The docs add that the sportsbook also covers spreads, totals, parlays, prop bets, and same-game parlays. This page covers that one sportsbook in depth.
What does “accepts crypto” actually mean here?
It means the entire financial route runs only through cryptocurrency. The terms rule out fiat deposits and withdrawals, so the account is funded from a wallet, you bet from that balance and payouts go back to a wallet. If you don’t own any cryptocurrency yet, you can take the one card route: buy a cryptocurrency gift card in the Wallet, then redeem its code.
Can you cash out an esports bet early?
Usually, yes. The sportsbook’s docs indicate that early cash-out is available for the majority of pre-match and live markets, with the value updated in real time. They don’t carve esports out, and they don’t promise it on every market either, so treat cash-out as available on most esports markets rather than all of them.
Which esports games can you bet on with crypto?
Seven esports titles have their own headings in the rulebook: Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, Dota 2, League of Legends, King of Glory, eSports FIFA and eSports NBA2K. In addition, all esports betting is subject to general rules. Each citation below names its heading, because the rulebook reuses the same rule numbers across its sports, racing and esports sections.
| Game | Where its settlement rules live | Live betting (per docs) |
|---|---|---|
| Counter-Strike 2 | Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 2.1 Counter-Strike 2 rules (rules 2.1.1 to 2.1.4) | Listed for esports overall |
| Valorant | Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 2.2 Valorant rules (rules 2.2.1 to 2.2.4) | Listed for esports overall |
| Dota 2 | Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 2.3 Dota 2 rules | Listed for esports overall |
| League of Legends | Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 2.4 League of Legends rules | Listed for esports overall |
| King of Glory | Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 2.5 King of Glory rules | Listed for esports overall |
| eSports FIFA | Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 2.6 eSports FIFA (match duration rules; markets settle under the General and Soccer Market Rules) | Listed for esports overall |
| eSports NBA2K | Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 2.7 eSports NBA2K (match duration rules; markets settle under the General and Basketball Market Rules) | Listed for esports overall |
| All seven titles | Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 1. General rules applicable to esports (rules 1.1 to 1.15) | Pre-match and live listed |
What do the Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant rules add?
They each specify four rules, and the two sets are almost word for word the same. The rules cover a player who drops out mid-map, a team that retires or is disqualified, the match format and a round restart. Here’s what each of them does to your bet.
| Situation | What happens to your bet | Citation |
|---|---|---|
| A player disconnects, can’t reconnect or be replaced, and both teams play on 4v5 for at least 5 rounds | Affected bets on that map, the match and match side markets are voided | Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 2.1 Counter-Strike 2 rules, rule 2.1.1; 2.2 Valorant rules, rule 2.2.1 |
| A team retires, gets a win by admin decision or is disqualified before all scheduled rounds of a map are played | All undecided bets on that map and match are voided | Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 2.1 Counter-Strike 2 rules, rule 2.1.2; 2.2 Valorant rules, rule 2.2.2 |
| The match is played in a format such as MR12 or MR8 | Odds already take the format into account, based on official tournament data | Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 2.1 Counter-Strike 2 rules, rule 2.1.3; 2.2 Valorant rules, rule 2.2.3 |
| A round is restarted | Bets stand, and markets resolve on the official score | Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 2.1 Counter-Strike 2 rules, rule 2.1.4; 2.2 Valorant rules, rule 2.2.4 |
What about Dota 2, League of Legends and King of Glory?
Each has its own rulebook heading: 2.3 Dota 2 rules, 2.4 League of Legends rules and 2.5 King of Glory rules. This article doesn’t restate what sits under them, so read those headings on the sportsbook rules page before you bet. The general esports rules apply to all three.
Who operates the sportsbook, and who licenses it?
Power.Win is operated by 3-102-968317 SRL, Costa Rica, licensed by the Tobique Gaming Commission, licence 0000209. This is the operator’s licence line published on the site, and it’s the one to match against any page describing the platform. The line tells you who operates the sportsbook and which body licenses it; it doesn’t set how a bet settles (the Sportsbook Rules do) or your account terms (the terms of service do). Alongside it, the site publishes its terms of service, together with the sportsbook rules and a page on responsible gambling.
How do crypto deposits and payouts work on an esports bet?
From your wallet, you deposit crypto and make bets from your balance, with the payout going back to the same wallet you deposited from. There’s no house fee in either direction; you need to pay only the network fee, which is shown before you confirm. The docs put deposit timing at “a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the coin’s required confirmations.”
| Coin | Networks named in the docs |
|---|---|
| USDT | ERC-20, TRC-20, BEP-20 |
| USDC | ERC-20, TRC-20, BEP-20, Solana |
| BNB | BEP-20 |
| BTC | On-chain only; Lightning isn’t supported |
| ETH, LTC, DOGE, BCH, XRP, TRX, SOL, MATIC | Listed as supported; network not broken out separately |
Which network should you pick for stablecoins?
Whenever you send, pick the same network the deposit address uses. According to the documentation, TRC-20 and Solana are usually the cheapest networks for stablecoins. If you send on the wrong network, recovery can sometimes happen, but a fee usually applies and it isn’t assured, so make sure the network is correct before you confirm the transfer.
When does a payout get a manual review?
Most payouts go through without anyone touching them. The docs name three things that can trigger a manual review: a large amount, an address change or a pending KYC step. The docs add that the support team works 24/7/365. If a transaction ID isn’t moving, the payments FAQ puts it down to network congestion, and if it’s still stuck after several hours, get in touch with the support team.
How are esports bets settled?
Every esports wager resolves on the official score and results, which are declared on the official video stream or the in-game stream of the match (Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 1. General rules applicable to esports, rule 1.1). In case of any interruption during the event, the same general rules decide whether your bet stands or comes back void.
| Situation | What happens to your bet | Citation |
|---|---|---|
| The organizer declares a walkover win | All bets are void | Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 1. General rules applicable to esports, rule 1.8 |
| One team retires during a match | Only completed individual maps are resulted; the match market, match side markets and undecided map markets are voided | Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 1. General rules applicable to esports, rule 1.9 |
| A match or map is replayed because of organizer or technical issues | Affected markets are voided, and the replay is handled as a new match | Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 1. General rules applicable to esports, rule 1.14 |
| A map starts with fewer than ten players | All bets on that map are voided | Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 1. General rules applicable to esports, rule 1.15 |
What happens to a 60 USDT slip if your team forfeits map 2?
Let’s assume you wager 40 USDT on a Counter-Strike 2 match winner at 1.80 and an additional 20 USDT on the same team to win map 1 at 1.95 (the odds shown are illustrative, not a quoted Power.Win price). Your team secures victory in map 1, then forfeits map 2. Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 1. General rules applicable to esports, rule 1.9 covers this exact case.
- Map 1 bet: the map was completed, so it’s resulted. 20 × 1.95 = 39.00 USDT comes back.
- Match winner bet: the match market is undecided, so it’s voided. Your 40 USDT comes back.
- Map 3: the same rule keeps the offer open within map 3, so a bet you place there settles on its own result.
- Total returned: 79.00 USDT back on a 60 USDT slip, a net gain of 19.00 USDT, even though the match market was voided.
What do the odds in that example imply?
To find implied probability, simply divide 1 by the decimal odds. Odds of 1.80 imply 55.56%. If the other side is priced at 2.00, that side implies 50.00%. Add the two sides and you get 105.56%. The 5.56 points above 100% are the overround, which is the bookmaker’s built-in margin and its version of a house edge.

What should you check before you bet on esports with crypto?
Six checks cover most of what goes wrong on an esports ticket.
- The licence line. It should name the operator, the licensing body and the number. Power.Win’s names 3-102-968317 SRL, the Tobique Gaming Commission and licence 0000209.
- Rules for your game. Look for a heading for the title you’re betting on. Power.Win has them for Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, Dota 2, League of Legends, King of Glory, eSports FIFA and eSports NBA2K.
- The settlement source. The rules should say which result counts. Here it’s the official score declared on the official or in-game stream.
- Void conditions. Walkovers, retirements, postponements and replays each need a written outcome before you bet.
- The network and the fee. Match the deposit network to your wallet, and read the network fee shown before you confirm. Payouts go back to the wallet you deposited from.
- Verification tiers. Know when identity checks start, so a payout isn’t held for a document you could’ve sent earlier. KYC in Crypto Casinos: When It Happens and Why explains the logic, and the deposit and withdrawal guide covers the payment side.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which cryptocurrencies can you deposit?
You can deposit BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, LTC, DOGE, BCH, XRP, TRX, BNB, SOL, and MATIC. USDT operates with ERC-20, TRC-20, and BEP-20. USDC runs on those three plus Solana. BTC is on-chain only, because Lightning isn’t supported. There are no fiat currencies involved.
Can you bet on esports live?
Yes. According to Power.Win’s docs, the sportsbook lists live in-play markets for esports along with pre-match betting and early cash-out on most pre-match and live markets. However, the docs don’t give details of live coverage by title, and therefore the live markets available to you depend on the match that you open.
What happens to your bet if a match is postponed?
In case a match gets paused or postponed and isn’t rescheduled within 24 hours of its actual scheduled start time, all wagers placed on that match become voided. This is stipulated in Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 1. General rules applicable to esports, rule 1.3. A match played early falls under Sportsbook Rules, esports special rules, 1. General rules applicable to esports, rule 1.13.
