BETER receives ESIC Gold Standard Accreditation

BETER has obtained the highest recognition from the Esports Integrity Commission.

Press release.- BETER has been awarded the prestigious Gold Standard Accreditation by the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC)—the highest possible recognition offered by the organisation for esports betting products. This achievement follows BETER’s designation as a Tier 1 Anti-Corruption Supporter earlier in May.

This esteemed accreditation was granted following a comprehensive and rigorous audit process. According to the company, it highlights its “unwavering commitment to fair play and robust integrity measures in conducting its flagship ESportsBattle tournaments, which deliver over 36,000 events every month.”

The ESIC Gold Standard sets out a framework of best practices for tournament organisers, ensuring that events operate with the highest levels of integrity and safety for all participants and stakeholders. Only a few organisations globally have met the stringent criteria necessary to earn this status.

The audit covered several key areas, including governance, educational and awareness initiatives, physical security, preventative measures, CCTV monitoring, restrictions on communication device usage, referee supervision, and overall compliance with ESIC’s integrity guidelines.

BETER’s dedicated Integrity team ensures that all in-house tournaments are conducted with exceptional oversight and transparency. Their extensive measures include mandatory e-learning programs for all participating athletes, a 24/7 whistleblowing platform, the Integrity BOOTCAMP program, comprehensive incident reporting systems, partnerships with law enforcement agencies and sporting bodies/federations, and more. As a result of this broad integrity ecosystem, only 0.01 per cent of events over the past 12 months have been flagged as suspicious.
