How to read it

  • Lower is better. If a team costs 61¢ on one app and 63¢ on the other, the 61¢ buy pays more for the same result.
  • Fees decide close calls. Prices are before fees, and each app charges its own, so a 1¢ gap can close or flip once fees are counted.
  • Top series only. This page shows series with at least one team from our lineups or at a top event (Majors, IEM, BLAST, PGL, ESL Pro League).
  • Kalshi lists fewer CS2 series. Most tier-one events are on both apps; smaller events are often Polymarket only.
  • Since open is how far the favorite’s Polymarket price has moved since the market opened, in cents.
  • Rows clear when a series starts. Live prices and every map are on WIRE.

FAQ

What is MARKET?

Every upcoming CS2 series on Polymarket with the favorite’s price there and on Kalshi, side by side. Each row links to the cheaper app.

Do fees change which app is cheaper?

Often, on small gaps. Prices here are before fees, and each app charges its own, so a 1¢ or 2¢ edge can disappear or flip. Both apps show the fee before you confirm an order.

Why is a Kalshi price missing?

Kalshi lists fewer CS2 series than Polymarket, mostly bigger events, often a day or less before the start. Until then the row shows Polymarket only.

When do CS2 prices move before a series?

Mostly on lineup news: a stand-in, a late roster change or a missing player. Moves in the last hour are usually just more money arriving, not news.

What happens once a series starts?

It leaves this table. Live prices, every map and the result are on WIRE.

Where can I trade these markets?

Polymarket has the most CS2 trading, open to US traders at polymarket.us. Kalshi is a CFTC-regulated US exchange available in most states. Code SKILL works on both. Nothing here is a recommendation.
