The esports ecosystem is young and innovative, but it doesn’t mean it is free from experiencing the integrity issues that traditional sports always suffered. All fraud practices such as match-fixing are serious issues that need to be addressed by stakeholders and esports organizations.
Oddin, as a dedicated esports betting provider, is aware of these problems that can be harmful not only for the esports community but for the betting partners as well. The integrity issues addressed by ESIC are serious topics within the betting operators.
ESIC’s mission is to preserve the integrity of esports and to take responsibility for disruption, prevention, investigation, and prosecution of every form of cheating within the esports ecosystem. From now on, Oddin will work together with ESIC in the common goal of enjoying fair and exciting esports competitions over the world.
‘’We are happy to welcome Oddin into our global anti-fraud network. It is very important for us that key esports betting provider such as Oddin becomes a member. They will help us fight match-fixing practices over the multiple jurisdictions they operate in. We look forward to having long-term cooperation with them.’’ said Ian Smith, Commissioner of Esports Integrity Commission.
‘’As an esports betting provider, we can’t ignore the integrity issues within the esports sphere. Our goal is to provide an entertaining product that can engage esports fans and enhance their experience when watching esports matches. This whole experience can be ruined if someone alters the competition by cheating. Match-fixing is something we are fighting against thanks to our traders’ expertise and our risk management tools, and now as well collaborating with ESIC.’’ said Marek Suchar, Head of Partnerships at Oddin.
