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.
