Match fixing on the rise in e-sports, gambling authority says
The Swedish Gambling Authority has received around 90 reports of alleged match fixing since the beginning of last year, reports Swedish Radio.
While the majority of reports have been related to soccer matches, the number of reported incidents of match fixing are increasing in e-sports, competitive video gaming.
Match fixing can involve paying players to play poorly or attempting to manipulate the game's code to gain a competitive edge.
