Hearthstone Masters Tour betting: how it works and every world champion
The Masters Tour is Blizzard's open Hearthstone circuit, which started in 2019 with in-person stops in Las Vegas, Seoul and Bucharest. In 2024 its seasonal championships sent four of the eight players to the Hearthstone World Championship, the end-of-year final. OTGxhh won the 2026 World Championship in September. Few bookmakers price Hearthstone, so this page explains what you can bet on, how a multi-deck match works for odds and who has won each world title.

Short answer
Can you bet on the Hearthstone Masters Tour?
Only at a few bookmakers, and usually only on the World Championship and the later rounds of big events. The common market is match winner. Hearthstone matches are long sets in which each player must win with several different decks, so card draws matter less over a full match than in one game; even so, upsets are frequent and no world champion has repeated since 2019.

Hearthstone Masters Tour FAQ
Who won the Hearthstone World Championship 2026?
OTGxhh, who beat XiaoT in the final (8–13 September 2026). XiaoT had won the 2025 title.
How do players get from the Masters Tour to Worlds?
For 2024, four of the eight World Championship players qualified through the Masters Tour seasonal championships and four through ranked play.
Can I bet on Hearthstone?
Some esports bookmakers offer match-winner odds on the World Championship and big open events. Markets are thin and margins wider than on CS2 or Dota 2. See our Hearthstone betting page.
Why are Hearthstone upsets so common?
Card draws and deck match-ups add variance to every game, and players bring several decks to a match. That spreads results, which is why no player has won the World Championship twice since 2019.
How old must I be to bet?
At least 18, and older in some countries. See our responsible gaming page.
