Curaçao-based esports betting operator Cyber.Bet has joined the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) as an anti-corruption supporter. 

Cyber.Bet currently offers esports betting in three languages and hosts esports events across Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Its partnership with ESIC will see the bookmaker provide information to help monitor and investigate possible integrity breaches. 

Discussing the news a Cyber.Bet representative said:

“Joining the Esports Integrity Commission is another big step for Cyber.Bet to become one of the most reliable and respectful esports bookmakers. For us, it is not only an honor but also a very important collaboration with such an experienced and reputable organization.

“Since we are not just a bookmaker but a part of big esports community and also tournament organizers, we are deeply interested in keeping our events and the esports industry clean from match fixing and other undesirable factors.”

While Commissioner of the Esports Integrity Commission, Ian Smith, added:

“It is an honour to welcome Cyber.bet as an Anti-Corruption Supporter of ESIC. By joining ESIC as an Anti-Corruption Supporter, Cyber.bet has displayed its commitment to playing its part in maintaining the integrity of esports.

“Cyber.bet joins a long list of Anti-Corruption Supporters who together make it easier for ESIC to investigate suspicious betting activity, assisting in our mission to fight cheating and betting fraud in the esports industry. We look forward to working with Cyber.bet to continue to protect the integrity of esports.”

ESIC is building an extensive network of partners across the esports industry, with both specialist esports-only, and traditional bookmakers joining up to help stamp out corruption. Other partners of the commission include Betway, BLAST, LOOT.BET, Midnite, Parimatch, Rivalry, Sky Bet, and Unikrn. 

AYO.NEWS says:

Well done to Cyber.Bet for joining the good fight! With esports betting seeing phenomenal growth, it is imperative that operators and bodies like ESIC work together to stamp out corruption before it gets the chance to reach the levels seen in some traditional sports, like tennis.
