Thunderpick joins ESIC’s Anti-Corruption Supporter Network

The Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) has officially welcomed Thunderpick, an online esports betting platform, to its Anti-Corruption Supporter Network.

This partnership brings Thunderpick into a growing coalition of betting operators and industry stakeholders committed to combating match-fixing, betting fraud and other integrity threats in esports.

Thunderpick’s inclusion in the ESIC network means the company will now actively support ESIC’s mission to detect, investigate and prevent corruption across esports competitions.

As an Anti-Corruption Supporter, Thunderpick will collaborate with ESIC by sharing information, reporting suspicious betting activity, and participating in educational initiatives designed to raise awareness about integrity risks among players, teams and fans.

This partnership is part of ESIC’s broader strategy to unite key industry players in a coordinated response to the challenges posed by the rapid growth of esports betting and the increasing sophistication of match manipulation schemes.

The ESIC Anti-Corruption Supporter Network is a critical component of the commission’s integrity framework, which also includes tournament organisers, data providers and law enforcement agencies.

Thunderpick’s partnership with ESIC comes at a time of heightened scrutiny for the esports betting sector, as regulators and industry bodies worldwide seek to ensure fair play and protect the reputation of competitive gaming. With this move, Thunderpick joins a roster of prominent betting operators and service providers that have pledged to uphold ESIC’s integrity standards.

Kelly Sanders, Head of Strategy at Thunderpick, commented: “Fair play is what makes gaming truly fun. At Thunderpick, we understand this deeply — from sponsoring global tournaments like the Thunderpick World Championship, now in its third year, to listening to our community and being gamers ourselves. Integrity is at the heart of everything we do.”

The collaboration is expected to enhance the effectiveness of anti-corruption measures across the esports landscape. The aim is to provide additional resources and expertise to support ESIC’s ongoing investigations and educational programs.

As esports continues to grow in popularity and commercial value, partnerships like this are seen as essential to maintaining trust among players, fans, and stakeholders.
