888STARZ review: wide esports reach and mobile-money payments

888STARZ is run by Bittech B.V. under a Curaçao licence; our data also lists Kahnawake. It is not related to the 888 group. We rank it on 19 pages: CS2, Dota 2, LoL, Call of Duty, Rocket League, Tekken, Street Fighter, Injustice 2 and World of Tanks, plus tournaments such as the PGL Major, RLCS and the World of Tanks Grand Finals.

Its cashier leans on mobile money and e-wallets: M-Pesa, MTN, Orange Money, Airtel Money, bKash, Nagad and Vodafone Cash sit beside Visa, Skrill and crypto. Below: CS2 markets, payments and alternatives.

Our verdict: a broad esports book for bettors in Africa, South Asia and Eastern Europe who pay by mobile money. Withdrawals have fewer options than deposits.

Market guide · CS2 Example odds

CS2 markets at 888STARZ, priced as an example

Example odds for The MongolZ vs Falcons (BO3) to show what each market means, its implied probability and its margin. Which markets 888STARZ opens differs from match to match, so check its own list before you bet.

Match winner

Who wins the series. In a BO3 the first team to two maps takes it.

Outcome Odds Probability
The MongolZ 1.55 64.5%
Falcons 2.40 41.7%
Sum 106.2%
Margin 5.8%

So what: usually the cheapest CS2 market, so the one to compare between books first.

Map handicap

The MongolZ −1.5 maps must win 2–0. Falcons +1.5 wins if they take at least one map.

Outcome Odds Probability
The MongolZ −1.5 2.55 39.2%
Falcons +1.5 1.47 68.0%
Sum 107.2%
Margin 6.8%

So what: turns a short favourite into a longer price, at a higher margin.

Total maps

Over 2.5 if the series goes to a decider, under if it ends 2–0 either way.

Outcome Odds Probability
Over 2.5 2.10 47.6%
Under 2.5 1.68 59.5%
Sum 107.1%
Margin 6.7%

So what: a bet on how close the series is, not on who wins.

Map 1 winner

Who wins the first map only. In most CS2 vetoes map 1 is one team's pick.

Outcome Odds Probability
The MongolZ 1.65 60.6%
Falcons 2.15 46.5%
Sum 107.1%
Margin 6.6%

So what: map pool strength matters more here than overall form.

Total rounds, map 1

Over or under 21.5 rounds. CS2 regulation is 24 rounds (MR12), first to 13; overtime goes over.

Outcome Odds Probability
Over 21.5 1.85 54.1%
Under 21.5 1.87 53.5%
Sum 107.5%
Margin 7.0%

So what: a 13–9 or closer map goes over.

Example odds set by esportranker, not live prices. Implied probability = 1 ÷ odds. Margin = 1 − 1 ÷ (sum of implied probabilities).
