1xBet is giving away $10,000 in Counter-Strike 2 skins

One lucky player is entitled to $10,000 worth of Counter-Strike 2 skins courtesy of 1xBet. However, the list of eligible fans who can claim this prize is incredibly, incredibly short.

The recipient of this prize has to claim it from Counter-Strike 2 host and 1xBet Ambassador James Banks during the Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) Cologne. The hunt has already started, but not everybody is entitled to it.

To claim it, the player must present their account that has a Diamond Coin from the recently concluded BLAST.tv Austin Major. This involved making accurate pick'ems during the event, and correctly predicting some of the quarterfinals, semifinals, and the grand final.

"If I find someone who can prove they have it on their account in person at IEM Cologne they will win $10,000 worth of skins - it's that simple," wrote Banks on an X post.

According to CS2 stat tracker Leetify, only 0.01% of participating players were able to get the Diamond Coin for the Austin Major.

The odds of this handful of players being in IEM Cologne 2025 are incredibly low. But, for $10,000 worth of CS2 skins, the trip may be worth it.

"I'm really looking for a unicorn," wrote Banks in a reply after revealing that he himself only earned a gold coin from the event.

IEM Cologne 2025 is set to crown its champions on August 3. 24 teams from all over the world met and competed, and now the event is nearing its conclusion.

Betting sites like 1xBet have been closely integrated with the CS2 esports fan and viewer experience. 1xBet's presence in the BLAST.tv Austin Major was due to their recent partnership, where 1xBet was named as the event's official betting partner. On the other hand, ESL and 1xBet have been long-running partners, and the parties' signed contracts dictate that the two will continue to work together at least until IEM Katowice in 2027.
