2 June 2025 – BETER, the award-winning provider of fast betting content, data, and live
streaming for esports and sports, has been awarded the prestigious Gold Standard
Accreditation by the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC)—the highest possible recognition
offered by the organization 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. It highlights BETER’s 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 organizers,
ensuring that events operate with the highest levels of integrity and safety for all
participants and stakeholders. Only a few organizers 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% of events over the past 12 months have been flagged as
suspicious.
Andrii Nekrutov, Chief Integrity Officer at BETER, commented: “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.
“We are one of the most experienced esports betting content providers in the industry, and
our educational programs are second to none. This Gold Standard accreditation further strengthens our mission to eradicate match-fixing and promote transparency and fairness in
esports and beyond.”
Stephen Hanna, CEO of ESIC, added: “BETER joins a prestigious group of esports content
providers who meet the exceptionally high standards required for ESIC Gold Standard
Accreditation.
“This accreditation is reserved for operators and providers who show an uncompromising
commitment to stamping out match-fixing and investing in robust anti-corruption education
and awareness. We congratulate BETER on meeting these demanding standards. Each new
certification strengthens trust and safeguards the future of esports.”
