Drafted.gg: Committed to Fair Play in Esports
Integrity is the foundation of esports. Without fairness and transparency, competitive gaming cannot thrive. At Drafted.gg, we’re committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity to ensure that every match and tournament is free from manipulation, fraud, and external influence.
That’s why Drafted.gg is proud to be ESIC Gold Standard Certified. This certification confirms that we meet the strictest industry regulations to safeguard esports competition. It reflects our dedication to fair play, preventing corruption, and ensuring a level playing field for all participants.
What It Means to Be ESIC Gold Standard Certified
The Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) is the global authority on maintaining fairness in esports. Achieving ESIC Gold Standard Certification means that Drafted.gg meets strict industry regulations designed to protect competition. In our studio environments, we enforce secure access controls, surveillance, and clear operational protocols to maintain a fair and transparent competitive setting.
Our certification ensures:
1. Secure and Controlled Match Environments
Matches take place in a fully secured setting with restricted access, live surveillance, and strict communication policies. Access is restricted to authorized personnel, and operational protocols ensure that all matches are conducted in a fair and controlled setting. To prevent external influence, communication devices are prohibited in studio areas, and access is limited to authorized personnel only.
2. Independent Oversight and Transparency
To ensure fairness, all matches are monitored by trained referees and independent oversight personnel. Referees complete ESIC-approved training, and oversight teams work independently from participants to prevent conflicts of interest. Strict reporting procedures ensure that all rule enforcement remains transparent.
3. Fair Play and Anti-Corruption Measures
Drafted.gg follows standardized game settings, integrity safeguards, and strict competition policies to ensure fair and transparent gameplay. In addition, all employees and referees undergo background checks and integrity training to maintain professional and ethical standards.
4. Collaboration with ESIC and Reporting Mechanisms
As part of our commitment to integrity, Drafted.gg actively report any suspicious activity to ESIC and follow industry best practices to prevent misconduct. A whistleblower system also allows individuals to confidentially report any concerns, ensuring that integrity is protected at all levels.
By meeting these high standards, Drafted.gg reinforces trust in esports competition and ensures a level playing field for players, teams, and industry partners.
Protecting the Future of Esports
Integrity isn’t just about compliance—it’s about protecting the future of esports. By following ESIC’s Gold Standard principles, Drafted.gg helps build a fair and transparent ecosystem where competition remains honest, responsible, and protected.
