Winio
AI match predictions and analytics for Dota 2 and CS2
As of 15 September 2026, Winio is free to use. Esports analytics platform that models Dota 2 and CS2 match outcomes as probabilities, trained on three years and 350,000+ historical matches. Softwr lists it under Gaming. Winio is available on Web.
Overview
What Winio does
Winio is an esports analytics platform that produces probability forecasts for competitive Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2 matches, with football coverage added alongside them. It is built on three years of historical match data across more than 350,000 matches, combined with live tournament feeds from official providers, and runs more than twenty distinct machine learning models using up to fifty variables each. The modelling is staged rather than single-shot. Three sequential models run per match: a pre-draft model working from team form and head-to-head history, a post-draft model that reads hero and map compositions once they are locked, and a live model that folds in the current game state as the match plays out. Each forecast comes with a breakdown of the factors driving it rather than a bare number, and the platform keeps a public archive of past predictions so its record can be checked against results. Winio is deliberate about what it does not claim. In its own words, it "does not predict exact match outcomes. The platform calculates probabilities, and is transparent about its confidence level." Bookmaker odds are explicitly excluded from model inputs, so the forecasts are not a repackaging of the betting market. Around the predictions sits a layer of conventional analytics covering tournaments, teams and individual players.
What people use it for

The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Winio.
- Prices are not published on the plans page. The tiers and their discounts are shown, but the amounts load client side and are not readable without opening the checkout.
- Coverage is narrow: Dota 2, CS2 and football, with other titles described as future plans rather than shipped.
- The free tier is 2 predictions, which is enough to evaluate the interface and not enough to judge the model.
- Real-time forecast updates during a match and the live forecast chart are advertised as a Premium subscription still in development, not something you can buy today.
- No public API, so the forecasts cannot be pulled into your own analysis.

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Winio, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it.
