BETER Joins ESIC to Strengthen Anti-Corruption Efforts in Esports Betting

New Partnership Focused on Integrity in Esports

BETER, a provider of fast betting content, data, and live streaming, has formally joined the Esports Integrity Commission as a Tier 1 Anti-Corruption Supporter. In this capacity, the company will assist ESIC in identifying suspicious betting patterns and supporting investigative activities aimed at addressing integrity breaches in esports.

As a member, BETER will actively contribute to ESIC’s monitoring and intelligence work, particularly through its ESportsBattle tournaments. The events, totaling over 36,000 each month, are monitored around the clock by BETER’s internal Integrity team. The company has committed to sharing insights and cooperating fully with ESIC’s efforts to detect and investigate betting irregularities.

BETER’s integrity framework includes a range of preventive measures designed to uphold fair play. These include e-learning for all tournament participants, a 24/7 whistleblowing system, a structured Integrity BOOTCAMP program, and cooperation with both law enforcement agencies and sports bodies. The company reported that only 0.01% of its events were flagged as suspicious over the last year, a figure it attributes to the robustness of its internal systems.

Company and Commission Perspectives

Andrii Nekrutov, Chief Integrity Officer at BETER, commented on the partnership:

“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, CEO of ESIC, added:

“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.”
