StarLadder has announced Rollbit as the official betting partner of the Budapest Major 2025, which kicks off on November 24. 

The partnership with StarLadder builds on Rollbit’s sponsorship of StarSeries 19 last month. As the official partner, the crypto gambling platform can provide fans with live analytics and a range of betting options. 

In a press release, Sam Norman, Head of Partnerships at Rollbit, stated, “We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with StarLadder for the CS2 Major Budapest 2025.”

“Counter-Strike is a core part of our roots, and our collaboration celebrates the shared passion of both brands for innovation and the global esports community. Through this event, we’re excited to bring fans closer to the action with enhanced analytics, seamless crypto integrations, and exclusive betting experiences that make every moment of the Major more engaging and rewarding.”

StarLadder Adds New Features For Budapest Major 

The Budapest Major kicks off on November 24 with group stages, culminating in the Grand Finals on December 14. A total of 24 teams will compete for a grand prize of $1.25 million. 

StarLadder has announced that the event will be the first Counter-Strike 2 Major to feature a best-of-five grand final.

StarLadder is a Ukrainian-founded esports tournament organiser and promoter, established in 2001. The company hosted the CS:GO Major in Berlin in 2019 and expanded into Dota 2 events, including The Chongqing Major.

In January this year, esports and gaming company NODWIN Gaming acquired StarLadder for around $5.5 million. 

Rollbit Backing FaZe Clan For Budapest Success

The deal marks the latest sponsorship in esports from Rollbit. The company signed a deal with FaZe Clan last year, who will be competing at the Budapest Major. 

FaZe Clan are at odds of around +3400 to win the entire event. The team looks certain to progress past Stage 1 at odds of -599. 

Team Vitality is the overall favorite at odds of +250, followed by FURIA at +350. FURIA’s success at BLAST Rivals Hong Kong took their trophy tally to four for the season, making them well-backed in Budapest.  

Trainwreck Unlikely To Be Backing Team Falcons

The win was not good news for Kick streamer Trainwreck, who placed a $5 million bet on Team Falcons. 

Following the loss, Trainwreck compared Falcons’ performance to the iBP team banned for match-fixing in 2014. 

He wrote on X, “IBUYPOWER LEVEL OF GAMEPLAY. I put a massive bet on it, and suddenly they are making NOVICE level mistakes.”

Team Falcons are at odds of around +400 to rebound with victory in Budapest.
