Popular R6 markets
How R6 betting works
Siege matches are played on maps chosen by veto, with round-based scoring similar to CS2 and Valorant. Markets include map winners, handicaps and round totals. Brazilian teams have long been dominant, alongside top European and North American sides.

Format and the competitive circuit
Pro maps are usually first to 7 rounds, with overtime at 6–6. Teams play attack and defence, so map bans and each team's attack/defence strength matter. The year runs through regional leagues, two Majors, the Esports World Cup event and the Six Invitational world championship in February.
R6 betting tips
- Brazilian teams (FaZe, FURIA, w7m and others) have been among the strongest — check form rather than reputation.
- Check map win rates on attack and defence separately.
- Round totals are sensitive to overtime — evenly matched teams push them up.
- Stick to Majors and the Six Invitational for the best data and liquidity.
