Esports Industry Risks

01

Event Cancellations

Disruptions like venue shutdowns, travel restrictions, or power outages can derail tournaments, leading to significant financial loss and reputational harm. Esports event insurance provides coverage to keep businesses functioning, even when events do not.
02

Cyber Threats

High-profile gaming platforms and competitions can be targeted by cyberattacks like DDoS incidents during live streams or breaches exposing player data. Esports insurance mitigates these risks with adaptive solutions.
03

Player and Team Liabilities

Esports organizations face challenges many insurers don’t consider — from contract disputes over exclusivity clauses and player buyouts to health concerns like repetitive strain injuries or mental health claims tied to high-stakes competition. Esports liability insurance supports teams and organizations in managing liability related to multifaceted risks like these, and many more.
04

Broadcast and Intellectual Property Disputes

Live streaming and on-demand content are at the heart of esports, but issues relating to unauthorized broadcasts, IP infringement, and licensing disputes can expose organizations to significant legal and financial risks. Our coverage helps esports businesses resolve these challenges so that creative assets and partnerships are protected.
05

In-Game Asset Fraud and Exploits

With digital goods being increasingly integrated into gameplay (think character ‘skins’ or NFTs) esports businesses are becoming more vulnerable to fraud, exploits, and theft of in-game assets that undermine player trust and financial security. Our policies mitigate these risks, supporting organizations in fortifying their digital ecosystems and preserving player confidence.
