EstrelaBet, the leading gamingtech in Brazil, held a workshop on sports integrity aimed at players, technical staff and managers of Vivo Keyd Stars. The organization is a leader in national eSports.
The event was developed together with Sportradar and marks the first initiative of its kind in the country focused exclusively on the eSports segment.
The action is part of EstrelaBet’s strategic plan to strengthen competitive integrity. The goal is to expand preventive measures against match-fixing in the gaming environment. The project comes shortly after the company confirmed its master sponsorship of Vivo Keyd Stars, demonstrating its commitment to the responsible growth of eSports.
EstrelaBet already conducts similar training sessions for conventional football teams, including Criciúma Esporte Clube. Now it is introducing the theme to eSports through this unprecedented action in the national sector.
Transformation in the integrity of Brazilian eSports
Frederico Gabrich, CLO (Chief Legal Officer) of EstrelaBet, stated: “This is the first time that the sector has brought a sports integrity initiative to the eSports universe in Brazil. This reinforces our commitment to ethics, credibility and the protection of sport. It is essential that all professionals understand the risks, know how to act and are prepared to protect the ecosystem in which they operate.”
Sportradar, a collaborator on the project, delivered the workshop covering key topics. Among them: competition fraud, types of manipulation, fraudsters’ strategies, the dangers of illegal betting and appropriate protocols for dealing with suspicious situations. Recognized worldwide in sports technology and betting supervision, Sportradar stands out as an international authority on competitive integrity.
Felippe Marchetti, Integrity Partnerships Manager at Sportradar LATAM, commented: “This is a different training from what we do with football clubs, precisely because of the particularities of the gaming scene. It is a pleasure to collaborate with EstrelaBet and Vivo Keyd Stars on this unprecedented initiative in Brazil.”
EstrelaBet’s commitment to compliance and technology
Hugo Tristão, CEO of Vivo Keyd Stars, highlighted the importance of the partnership. “Our role as an organization goes beyond training and preparing athletes for competition. It also involves providing information, educating and reinforcing responsibility regarding conduct inside and outside the game. Initiatives like this place our players and Vivo Keyd Stars on a new level of professionalism, aligned with the best practices in global sports.”
The project is part of EstrelaBet’s guidelines to promote integrity and conscious betting. The company follows international standards and current industry regulations.
The company maintains a sector specialized in compliance and integrity, employing modern resources such as artificial intelligence. These technologies track and identify irregular behavior.
Additionally, EstrelaBet is a member of important industry organizations, including the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA), Genius Sports, and Sportradar’s Integrity Exchange.
