The Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) has named the betting platform Rollbit as its latest Tier 1 Anti-Corruption Partner. The appointment forms part of ESIC’s ongoing initiative to address issues of integrity and corruption within the global esports industry, particularly those linked to betting markets. Rollbit will join a program where betting operators contribute data and resources to aid in the detection of suspicious activity.
Under the ESIC Anti-Corruption Supporter Program, Tier 1 partners like Rollbit are expected to collaborate closely with the commission. This collaboration involves sharing insights and operational support to enhance the monitoring of betting patterns and strengthen investigative processes related to potential match-fixing or cheating.

We are pleased to welcome Rollbit as a Tier 1 Anti-Corruption Partner and look forward to working together to expand the reach and effectiveness of our integrity initiatives globally.”
Sam Norman, Head of Partnerships at Rollbit, added, “Partnering with ESIC reflects Rollbit’s deep commitment to ensuring integrity and fair play in esports. We are proud to contribute our technology and expertise to help protect the competitive landscape and promote a safe, transparent environment for players and fans alike.”
The partnership occurs alongside Rollbit’s increasing financial involvement in the esports sector. Recently, GameSquare Holdings, Inc. disclosed an expansion of Rollbit’s sponsorship deal with FaZe Clan, increasing its annual commitment from $1.75 million to $3.25 million.
