ESL FACEIT Group names CHEXX as betting partner

ESL FACEIT Group (EFG) has announced a partnership with online casino and sports betting platform CHEXX.

As a result of the deal, the platform will become EFG’s official betting partner for its Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2 esports tournaments taking place throughout 2026.

The collaboration marks CHEXX’s first foray into the esports industry. According to a release, CHEXX will launch a range of experiences designed to enhance the fan experience throughout EFG’s Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2 seasons.

Experiences include GO NEXXT Moments, a range of exclusive surprises that appear during events and broadcasts.

“At ESL FACEIT Group, we are looking for partners who prioritise the fan experience above all else,” said Dainel Mauritz, SVP of Brand Partnerships at ESL FACEIT Group. “CHEXX’s ‘GO NEXXT’ philosophy aligns with our mission to push the boundaries of esports entertainment. By integrating their innovative platform into our Counter-Strike and Dota 2 circuits, we’re offering our global community a more immersive and rewarding way to engage with the world’s most elite competition.”

CHEXX is the latest addition to EFG’s extensive partnership portfolio. The betting platform joins the likes of Shikenso Analytics, Intel, and esports data platform GRID in supporting its esports events hosted across the world.

EFG’s partnership with CHEXX is the second deal it has secured this year. On January 7th, the organiser joined forces with non-profit organisation Brace for Impact. The deal sees EFG support the women’s Counter-Strike scene through the use of FACEIT Clubs to host regional tournaments.

With several Counter-Strike and Dota 2 events taking place across the year, CHEXX aims to expand its presence within the esports industry through various activations.
