Australia’s betting culture is ready to corrupt the emerging esports scene | Clocked – Happy Mag
Although esports is growing in Australia, especially during COVID-19, the industry is struggling to keep up with the cheats and match fixers.
For the past few years, esports as a global industry has increased to more than a billion dollars in value, with prize pools for the largest tournaments hitting eight figures. Of course, this means that match fixers and cheaters want a slice of the cash.
Within Australia in particular, the industry is still in its infancy, but the country is producing premier talent as seen in Justin “jks” Savage and Anathan “Ana” Pham, who compete in CS:GO and Dota 2 respectively.
