BETER, a recognized leader in delivering rapid betting content, data, and live streams for both esports and traditional sports, has proudly achieved the esteemed Gold Standard Accreditation from the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC). This accolade represents the highest form of recognition from ESIC for excellence in esports betting products. The milestone follows BETER’s earlier recognition as a Tier 1 Anti-Corruption Supporter, awarded in May.
The honor was granted after a thorough and demanding audit process, underscoring BETER’s steadfast dedication to integrity and fair competition. This is particularly evident in their flagship ESportsBattle tournaments, which host more than 36,000 events each month, all operated under strict integrity protocols.
The ESIC Gold Standard serves as a benchmark for best practices in tournament organization, establishing a clear framework to ensure that events uphold the highest standards of fairness and safety for players, organizers, and fans alike. Only a select few global organizers have successfully met these rigorous standards.
The comprehensive audit examined multiple critical areas, including governance structures, educational initiatives, physical security measures, CCTV surveillance, restrictions on communication devices, referee supervision, and overall adherence to ESIC’s integrity guidelines.
BETER’s dedicated Integrity team plays a vital role in maintaining transparency across all their in-house tournaments. Their proactive approach includes mandatory e-learning modules for athletes, a 24/7 whistleblowing platform, the innovative Integrity BOOTCAMP program, detailed incident reporting systems, and collaborations with law enforcement agencies and sports federations. Thanks to this extensive integrity ecosystem, a remarkable 99.99% of events in the past year have been free of suspicious activity.
Andrii Nekrutov, BETER’s Chief Integrity Officer, expressed pride in the accomplishment: “This is a major milestone for both our Integrity team and the entire BETER organization. It reflects the strict measures and unwavering commitment to fair play that we uphold in all ESportsBattle tournaments.
