Match Integrity 101

Everything about match fixing, players losing on purpose / cheating, etc.

Updated this week

At 1v1Me, we are committed to fair, competitive gameplay. Every match on our platform follows a strict, multi-layered review process to ensure fairness, prevent match-fixing, and maintain trust in our competitive ecosystem.

πŸ”Ž How We Ensure Match Integrity

We take a proactive and comprehensive approach to match integrity, using a combination of live refereeing, security protocols, and forensic analysis to detect and prevent unfair play.

πŸŽ₯ Live Match Refereeing & Pre-Match Security Checks

βœ”οΈ Trained Referees Monitor Every Match

  • Each match is watched in real-time by two trained referees who look for irregularities in gameplay, suspicious behavior, and potential violations of platform rules.

βœ”οΈ Pre-Match ID & Equipment Verification

  • 15 minutes before the event, we conduct a video call check-in with each player.

  • Players must turn on their camera and verify their identity with the ID on file.

  • Equipment & software checks are performed to ensure no malicious tools, scripts, or cheats are being used.

  • Match rules and fair play guidelines are reviewed with each player.

βœ”οΈ Match Start & Live Monitoring

  • Matches only begin after verification is complete.

  • Referees monitor the match in real time and flag any potential issues.

πŸ“ Financial & Geolocation Security

To ensure match integrity and prevent fraudulent behavior, we conduct comprehensive financial and geolocation checks using trusted third-party technology:

πŸ” Geolocation Monitoring

  • We partner with Radar, a leading security vendor in the gaming space, to detect multiple devices or accounts in the same household that may be used to stake on matches.

  • We flag instances where a partner’s household has other devices placing stakes on their matches, helping prevent collusion and unauthorized activities.

πŸ’° Financial & Forensic Reviews

  • After each match, we analyze how much was won and from which accounts to detect unusual patterns.

  • We investigate whether accounts placing stakes on a match are connected to the partner in any way (shared IPs, device IDs, financial connections).

  • Our system flags irregularities in staking behavior, including potential collusion or coordinated betting activity.

πŸ“Š Post-Match Review & Enforcement

Once a match is complete, we conduct a comprehensive post-match review that includes:

βœ”οΈ Reviewing match footage for any irregularities.
βœ”οΈ Analyzing staking patterns & user behavior for suspicious activity.
βœ”οΈ Processing player reports and assessing complaints.

🚨 If we find any evidence of match-fixing, cheating, or fraudulent behavior, we take immediate action:
​

βœ… Refunding all stakes and returning all fees in full.
βœ… Permanently banning the player, their device, and their household from 1v1Me.
βœ… Pursuing legal action against the individuals involved in fraudulent activity.

🚫 What We Do NOT Overturn

We understand that not every game goes as expected, but gameplay decisions and strategies are subjective. We do not overturn results based on:
​

❌ Players choosing certain plays, strategies, or loadouts.
❌ Allegations of "losing on purpose" without clear, verifiable evidence.
❌ Frustration over an unexpected outcome.

πŸ“’ Reporting a Match Issue? Here’s What You Need to Know

To properly investigate a match dispute, we require video evidence in cases of:
​

πŸŽ₯ Glitches or Exploits – Submit a clear, unedited clip showing the violation.
πŸŽ₯ Match-Fixing Allegations – Provide timestamped footage proving a player intentionally lost.

Without verifiable proof, we cannot take action on a complaint.

⚠️ False or Repetitive Reports

To maintain a fair experience for all users, repeated false reports or complaints without evidence may result in temporary support restrictions.
