Thunderpick
$1.5M Thunderpick World Championship
Building on the success of its $1.1M championship in 2025, Thunderpick has increased the total prize pool for its 2026 World Championship Series to $1.5 million across CS2, Dota 2, and Valorant brackets.
The championship runs from April through November 2026, with open qualifiers allowing any team to enter. Regional stages cover Europe, North America, South America, and Asia-Pacific, with finals held at a yet-to-be-announced LAN venue in November.
In-Platform Live Streaming
Thunderpick now offers integrated live streaming for major esports events directly within the betting interface. Players can watch matches and place in-play bets without switching tabs or opening external streaming platforms.
The feature currently covers all Tier 1 and Tier 2 CS2 events, Dota 2 Pro Circuit matches, Valorant Champions Tour games, and select League of Legends competitions. Stream quality is available up to 1080p with minimal delay.
1st Map Insurance: A Unique Esports Feature
Thunderpick has introduced '1st Map Insurance' for CS2 and Dota 2 bets. If your selected team wins the first map but loses the series, you receive your stake back as bonus funds up to EUR 1,500.
This addresses a common frustration in esports betting where a team can dominate early and then collapse. The insurance is automatically applied to qualifying bets with no opt-in required.
Casino Expansion to 6,000+ Games
While esports remains the core focus, Thunderpick's casino section has grown to over 6,000 games from providers including Pragmatic Play, Evolution, and Hacksaw Gaming. The 100% match bonus up to EUR 2,000 on first deposit applies to both casino and sportsbook play.
Supported cryptocurrencies include BTC, ETH, USDT, SOL, and eight additional tokens, with Polygon and BSC networks available for low-fee USDT transfers.
