AGON, the premium gaming brand from AOC, has launched a sweepstakes that puts one of the most desirable monitors in competitive gaming on the line. The AGON Pro CS24A Counter-Strike 2 Edition packs a 610Hz refresh rate into a design built exclusively for Valve's shooter, but there is a catch: this monitor is not available for purchase in North America. The only way to get one is to win it, and AOC is giving away 10 units valued at $899.99 each.

The entry period opened on September 28, 2026 at 12:00 AM PDT and closes on November 23, 2026 at 11:59 PM PST. Legal residents of the fifty United States, the District of Columbia, and Canada (excluding Quebec) who are 18 or older can enter. The promotion is powered by Crowd9 PTY LTD through the Gleam platform and is not hosted by IGN, which means entrants agree to Gleam's privacy policy when they participate.

ℹ️ Note: The AGON Pro CS24A Counter-Strike 2 Edition is not sold in North America. This sweepstakes is the only way to acquire the monitor in the region.

What You Need

Before you enter, confirm that you meet the eligibility requirements. You must be a legal resident of the United States (including the District of Columbia) or Canada, though residents of Quebec are excluded. The minimum age is 18. You will also need a valid email address and access to the Gleam entry widget, which handles the sweepstakes mechanics. No purchase is necessary to enter or win, and the monitor itself cannot be bought in North America regardless of the outcome.

Because this is a PC-focused giveaway centered on a 610Hz display built for competitive shooters, entrants should realistically have a system capable of pushing high frame rates to take advantage of the hardware. A modern GPU and a CPU that can sustain hundreds of frames per second in Counter-Strike 2 will let you actually use the monitor's headline feature. If your current rig tops out at 144Hz, you will still win a premium display, but you will not see the full benefit until you upgrade the rest of the pipeline.

Step-by-Step

  1. Visit the official sweepstakes page hosted on the Gleam platform during the entry period (September 28, 2026 – November 23, 2026).
  2. Sign in with your email address or the available social login options provided by the Gleam widget.
  3. Complete the available entry actions. These typically include following AGON or AOC social channels, visiting a product page, or sharing the giveaway. Each action grants a specified number of entries.
  4. Submit your entries before the deadline of November 23, 2026 at 11:59 PM PST. Entries submitted after this time will not be eligible.
  5. Wait for the winner selection. Ten winners will be chosen and notified according to the official terms and conditions.

Tips and Tricks

Maximize your entry count by completing every action the Gleam widget offers. Most sweepstakes of this type award bonus entries for daily visits, so return each day during the entry period to claim any recurring actions. Use a dedicated email address you check regularly; winner notifications often have a short response window, and missing the email could forfeit the prize. Read the full terms and conditions linked on the entry page — they contain the exact odds, prize fulfillment timeline, and any tax responsibilities that apply to Canadian winners.

The 610Hz panel is the star here. For Counter-Strike 2 players, that refresh rate translates to significantly reduced motion blur and lower perceived input latency, which can make a measurable difference in high-level play. Even if you do not compete at the highest ranks, the monitor's exclusive Counter-Strike 2 branding makes it a collector's item that will not appear on store shelves in this region. Treat the entry process like a daily login bonus: low effort, high potential reward.

💡 Pro Tip: Complete all daily entry actions on the Gleam widget every day until November 23 to stack the maximum number of entries.

Ten winners will walk away with a monitor that does not exist in North American retail. The odds are long, but the barrier to entry is low — a few clicks a day for two months. For anyone already deep in Counter-Strike 2 or building a high-refresh-rate setup, this is the kind of giveaway worth the few seconds of daily effort. Just do not forget to check the spam folder when the winner emails go out.
