Most 1xBet esports promotions run for a single tournament. 1xBet's Chick Point spans 18 separate Counter-Strike events across nearly the entire 2026 calendar, combining a guaranteed per-tournament bonus tied to a ten-stage "map" with a ticket system feeding 18 independent prize draws. Comparing the prize lists across all 18 tournaments reveals a pattern 1xBet doesn't spell out directly: the two CS Majors on the calendar are treated differently from every other event.
Which Bets Qualify
Every bet has to be placed on one of the 18 featured CS tournaments, with a minimum stake of 3 USD. Two bet structures qualify:
- Single bets at odds of 1.5 or higher.
- Accumulator bets with 2 or more selections, each at odds of 1.4 or higher, where at least one selection is from a featured tournament.
Only real-money, settled bets count — both wins and losses qualify equally, while bets placed with bonus funds or promo codes, canceled bets, sold bets, Advancebets, and refunded bets are all excluded.
The Map: A Guaranteed Bonus Per Tournament
Each of the 18 tournaments has its own "map" of ten stages, and progressing through it during that specific tournament guarantees a free bet based on the average stake of the bets placed:
| Stage | Bets Required | Bonus Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 | 10% of average stake |
| 2 | 5 | 20% of average stake |
| 3 | 7 | 30% of average stake |
| 4 | 9 | 40% of average stake |
| 5 | 11 | 50% of average stake |
| 6 | 13 | 60% of average stake |
| 7 | 15 | 70% of average stake |
| 8 | 17 | 80% of average stake |
| 9 | 19 | 90% of average stake |
| 10 | 21 | 100% of average stake |
The progression is exactly linear: every stage requires precisely 2 more bets than the one before it, and pays exactly 10 percentage points more than the one before it, all the way from Stage 1's modest 10% to Stage 10's full 100% match on the average stake. A map can only be completed once per tournament, so only one guaranteed bonus is paid out per tournament regardless of how far past Stage 10 a customer keeps betting.
Worked example, mid-map. A customer places 9 qualifying bets during PGL Bucharest 2026, reaching Stage 4, with a combined 360 USD in stakes across those 9 bets. Average stake: 360 ÷ 9 = 40 USD. At Stage 4's 40% rate, the bonus is 16 USD, credited automatically within 48 hours of the tournament ending.
Worked example, reaching the cap. The maximum free bet is 300 USD regardless of stage. At Stage 10's full 100% rate, an average stake of exactly 300 USD already produces the full 300 USD cap — 21 or more bets averaging 300 USD each (6,300 USD or more in total stakes) during a single tournament would max out the bonus, with no further benefit from betting beyond that average.
Because this guaranteed bonus resets and recalculates independently for each of the 18 tournaments, a customer chasing it consistently could, in theory, earn a separate capped bonus for every one of the 18 events across the year — a maximum theoretical total of 18 × 300 = 5,400 USD from the map mechanic alone, entirely apart from anything won through the ticket draws.
Once credited, the free bet must be wagered within 72 hours — a longer window than several comparable 1xBet offers — through an accumulator with 3 or more selections, each at odds of 1.5 or higher. The minimum bonus amount is 0.5 USD; anything calculated below that isn't credited.
The Ticket System
Every qualifying bet also earns tickets toward that tournament's own prize draw, scaled by stake size:
| Stake (USD) | Tickets |
|---|---|
| 3 | 1 |
| 5 | 3 |
| 10 | 10 |
| 20 | 25 |
| 40 | 60 |
| 60 | 90 |
| 100 | 180 |
| 200 | 380 |
| 400 | 800 |
| Over 450 | 1,000 |
There's no ticket cap, and — unlike the map bonus — the ticket system doesn't reset per stage; it simply accumulates for each tournament's own draw based on all qualifying bets placed on that event.
Eighteen Tournaments, Four Repeating Prize Templates
At first glance, each of the 18 tournament prize lists looks unique — the specific device names and CS skins change from one stage to the next. But comparing every prize list side by side across the full calendar shows they actually cycle through only four distinct templates, and which template a tournament gets isn't random:
| Template | Tournaments Using It | Distinguishing Superprizes |
|---|---|---|
| A | PGL Cluj-Napoca, PGL Bucharest, Esports World Cup, ESL Pro League S24, PGL Masters Bucharest, BLAST Rivals Fall (6 tournaments) | HYPERPC LUMEN 5 PLUS, ASUS ROG Strix, Apple iPhone 17 Pro, Sport Gloves | Slingshot |
| B | ESL Pro League S23, IEM Rio, PGL Astana, BLAST Open Fall, Esports Nation Cup (5 tournaments) | HYPERPC PLAY X, MSI Stealth 14 Studio, Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, Butterfly Knife | Lore |
| C | BLAST Open Rotterdam, BLAST Rivals Spring, CS Asia Championships, StarLadder StarSeries Fall, IEM China (5 tournaments) | HYPERPC PLAY 9 ULTRA, Apple MacBook Pro M4 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, Talon Knife | Slaughter |
| D | IEM Cologne Major, PGL Major Singapore (2 tournaments) | HYPERPC LUMEN X PRO, Apple MacBook Pro M4 Pro, ASUS ROG Strix, Huntsman Knife | Gamma Doppler |
Template D is the tell. It appears at exactly two tournaments across the entire calendar — the Intel Extreme Masters Cologne Major and PGL Major Singapore — the only two events on the list carrying CS's "Major" designation, the highest tier in the competitive calendar. Every other tournament, regardless of organizer or region, draws from Templates A, B, or C in rotation. In other words, the prize pool a customer is playing for quietly depends on whether the tournament is a Major, even though nothing in the promotion's own wording calls this out directly.
Each individual prize list — Major or not — awards a consistent structure regardless of template: 4 unique superprize items (1 winner each), 2 items with 5 winners each, and 1 item with 10 winners, plus free bets to 5, 10, and 15 winners across three value tiers. That's 24 superprize winners and 30 free-bet winners per tournament, or 54 total winners at each of the 18 draws — 972 prize winners across the full calendar if every draw runs as structured.
Draws and Claiming
Each tournament's draw is held shortly after that tournament ends — for example, PGL Cluj-Napoca's draw ran on 24 February 2026, while the final draw for PGL Major Singapore is scheduled for 15 December 2026. Winners are selected at random from that tournament's own ticket pool, and a participant can win only one prize per draw, though winning in one tournament's draw never excludes them from any other tournament's draw. Free bet prizes are credited automatically within 48 hours of the draw, issued as a promo code checkable in My Account.
Eligibility and Fair-Use Rules
Participants need a complete profile — full name, an activated mobile number, email address, and city and country of residence — and must opt in to bonus offers in Account Settings before pressing "Take part" on the offer page. The offer is limited to one participant per account, family, IP address, and PC. 1xBet reserves the right to review transaction records for strategies it considers abusive and reclaim the bonus if it finds them, to request KYC documents or photo/phone identity verification at any time, and to amend, cancel, or renew the offer at any time without prior notice.
