Puntt.gg will specifically sponsor the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive side of the ESL Premiership, which also includes competition in Dota 2. The pool betting system lets fans wager against other esports fans.
As mentioned, Stakester was first announced as an ESL Premiership partner for the Spring 2020 season, and has been extended into Autumn. Stakester allows fans to bet on their own performances as they compete online against other fans for cash and merchandise.
