Esports map and series settlement (CS2, Valorant and general)
Stake’s Esports General policy: if the organizer allows stand-ins and posts an official result, bets stand. Walkovers void. Mid-match retirements settle completed maps only; match markets and undecided maps void. Format changes or badly listed fixtures can void. Maps that start with fewer than ten players void. Replays for tech/organizer issues void the affected markets; the replay is a separate fixture. Markets include overtime unless named otherwise.
CS2: first half is rounds 1–12; pistol rounds are 1 and 16 (CS:GO legacy numbering). After 12:12, overtime runs in Bo6 blocks. Map side total rounds exclude OT. Round restarts leave bets standing on the official map result. Disconnect without a replace where teams play on 4v5 for at least five rounds — bets stand.
Valorant: first half rounds 1–12; pistols 1 and 13; overtime after 12:12 in Bo2 blocks. On map winner 3-way, overtime makes the draw selection. Retire, admin win or DQ before scheduled rounds finish voids undecided map and match bets. Same crypto rails as sports — settlement still follows this policy HTML, not a casino FAQ.
These rules are Stake’s published sportsbook policy (HTML read 2026-09-14), not universal sports law. Other books on this site have their own terms — check that book’s policy; /go fail-closes on each brand’s geo deny. Crypto funding does not rewrite settlement.

How we read terms
Primary source first. For each book we encode a deny list from that book’s own terms, AML page, or restricted-jurisdiction article. Secondary “reviews” are not the list.
How we earn
If you open a sportsbook account through /go, the book may pay us a commission. That is the only money path on this site.
Play within limits
You must be 18 or the legal age where you are, whichever is higher. Betting can be addictive. If it stops being a game, stop.
We may earn a commission if you open an account through our links. It does not change the facts on the page.
