Safeguarding in Esports with Fnatic - Safeguarding Matters

How new sports bring new safeguarding challenges.

Cath Sykes, ACT's Safeguarding in Unregulated Sport officer, chats with Fnatic's Andy Cook about safeguarding in Esports.

Fnatics is one of the most successful Esports teams in the world, and Esports is the fastest growing sport in the world. It sees very young people engaging in very high pressure tournaments for very large amounts of money. And much of the scouting and competing takes place online.

This situation brings a host of new safeguarding challenges. In this podcast, Andy discusses how we can meet these challenges in a sector that's still growing, where the mindset is largely anti-authoritarian and naturally suspicious of rules and regulations.
