One of the biggest questions about sportsbetting and Esports has always been the integrity of the games available in the betting markets. On the surface, this is an understandable concern; we often can’t see the players as they battle, unlike in a game of football or tennis.

Just like corruption cases have come against footballers and tennis superstars, Esports players can be the opposite, that being players of great integrity. They shouldn’t be judged just as the industry shouldn’t be judged, either say Esports insiders.

It’s that ethical position that saw the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) become established. Just like in regular sports, having an overseeing body that regulates participation, investigates allegations and disproves or proves any impropriety is a good thing for all.

It’s therefore extremely good news that the U.K.-based esports betting company Midnite has signed up to join the ESIC as they throw their weight behind the company’s determination to fight corruption and eradicate cheating in any form in Esports.
