BETER Joins ESIC to Protect Esports From Corruption

When it comes to esports and betting, trust is everything. That is why BETER, a well-known provider of fast betting content and live-streamed events, has joined forces with the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC). The company has become a Tier 1 Anti-Corruption Supporter, a role that comes with real responsibilities.

• Good to know
• ESIC helps fight corruption and match-fixing in esports globally.
• BETER offers over 36,000 monitored esports events each month.
• Only 0.01% of BETER’s events were flagged as suspicious last year.

BETER brings more than just a name to the table. Its involvement means active cooperation with ESIC to detect and investigate any unusual betting behavior. With its experience running thousands of esports events under the ESportsBattle brand, BETER has the tools and people to contribute meaningfully to ESIC’s work.

Each month, BETER delivers over 36,000 esports matches. Behind the scenes, its Integrity team keeps a close eye on every single one. They monitor events non-stop and use a system built to prevent problems before they happen. Players in these tournaments go through detailed e-learning programs to understand the rules, and a whistleblower platform remains open around the clock.

BETER has also created the Integrity BOOTCAMP, works with law enforcement, and partners with sports bodies to share information and set higher standards. Over the last 12 months, only 0.01% of events triggered a deeper look for suspicious behavior — a tiny number that reflects how well the system works.

By joining ESIC, BETER will help boost efforts to fight match-fixing and fraud. Their involvement gives the Commission better insight into what is happening across the fast-moving esports betting scene.

Andrii Nekrutov, Chief Integrity Officer at BETER, shared his thoughts:

“BETER’s strict measures and strong commitment to fair play principles in our ESportsBattle tournaments provide us with the qualities needed to be a strong and reliable member of the Esports Integrity Commission. We are one of the most experienced esports betting content providers with educational programs and approaches that are unrivalled when it comes to integrity and fairness. The team looks forward to working with the Commission to improve the esports ecosystem by eradicating match-fixing and bolstering principles of fair play. We have done a great job of this with our esports tournaments and believe we can help do the same for the wider industry.”

Stephen Hanna, Chief Executive Officer at ESIC, also welcomed the move:

“BETER’s membership to the Esports Integrity Commission is a testament to the company’s alignment with our mission to uphold and promote the highest standards of integrity, transparency and fair play within the global esports ecosystem. By becoming a member, BETER joins a growing community of industry leaders dedicated to fostering a safe, transparent and sustainable future of esports.”

For both sides, the goal is the same — make sure esports remains fair and trusted by fans, bettors, and players. With more betting tied to digital competitions, that trust needs ongoing support, which is what this partnership aims to provide.
