Anti-corruption supporters are aiding the ESIC in combatting fraud within the esports industry. They are assisting the commission by investigating suspicious betting activity. ESIC commissioner Ian Smith expressed his satisfaction with the addition of Oddin to the global anti-fraud network, highlighting their importance as a key esports betting provider. He believes that their membership will assist in the fight against match-fixing practices across multiple jurisdictions. The ESIC looks forward to a long-term cooperation with Oddin.
Marek Suchar, the head of partnerships at Oddin, expressed their delight in becoming a member of ESIC. Given the significant growth of the esports industry, they consider this membership crucial, as it enhances their trustworthiness and durability within the online gaming industry. They eagerly anticipate the benefits and opportunities that this collaboration will bring.
The ESIC recently faced baseless allegations questioning its integrity, as some falsely claimed that it was closely tied to the esports betting industry. These allegations included accusations that the ESIC supported the creation of an esports regulatory commission in Nevada. However, the ESIC firmly denied these claims and refuted any association with the betting industry.
