This article provides everything you need to know about how to bet on the upcoming Call of Duty competition at the Esports World Cup.
CDL Champs 2025 is in the rearview, and competitors have shifted their focus to the Esports World Cup (EWC). Although the event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, features many top esports titles, Call of Duty will take center stage from July 23 through July 27 with $1.8 million on the line.
So, who are the favorites heading into the Esports World Cup, and how can you bet on the tournament? This article explains everything you need to know.
Where to bet on the Call of Duty Esports World Cup
Many sportsbooks will eventually offer odds and betting lines for Call of Duty at the Esports World Cup. Since we are a few weeks away from the tournament, the odds have not been posted yet. In any case, some platforms you can check out include Bovada, Betway, GG.Bet, Pinnacle, and Rivalry.
These websites typically offer bonuses and promotions, making it worthwhile to explore them. Please note that you must be at least 18 years old to wager on Call of Duty matches and tournaments legally.
The different ways you can wager on Call of Duty
There are a few ways you can bet on Call of Duty, both at the Esports World Cup and at other tournaments. Those are as follows:
- Outright Winner: Picking the team that will win the tournament
- Match Winner: Picking the team that will win a given match
- Map Winner: Picking the team that will win a given map
- Kill/Death Ratio: Betting on a player's kill/death ratio over a tournament or series
- First Blood: Selecting the player who achieves the first kill in a Search & Destroy map
Those give you an idea of what lines and props will be available when sportsbooks begin posting odds for the Esports World Cup. There are also websites like PrizePicks where you can bet the over or under on player props.
Predicting the favorites for the Esports World Cup
OpTic Texas's win at CDL Champs 2025 will likely solidify them as the favorites to win the Esports World Cup. However, it's worth noting that a similar scenario played out last year following OpTic's 2024 CDL Champs win.
The squad did not meet expectations, which opened the door for other teams, such as FaZe Clan and 100 Thieves, to find success. Coincidentally, 100 Thieves and FaZe Clan will likely occupy the second and third lowest odds.
You may have the opportunity to catch decent value on Team Heretics and the Vancouver Surge. Both were solid throughout most of the 2024-2025 season, and the Surge might fall in the odds despite finishing second at the World Championship.
