Competitive Integrity & Compliance

How we ensure a fair, skill-based, and legally compliant platform for all players.

Fair Matchmaking (Elo System)

Our platform uses a sophisticated Elo-based rating system to calculate a Skill Score for every player and team. This system ensures that you are matched against opponents of similar skill levels, creating more engaging and competitive matches. Your score adjusts after every competitive match, providing a dynamic and accurate reflection of your current ability.

Community Trust (Reputation)

Beyond skill, we value reliability and sportsmanship. Your Reputation is a measure of your standing within the community. This rating is affected by your match attendance, adherence to rules, and feedback from other players. A high Reputation demonstrates that you are a dependable competitor, making you more attractive to potential teammates and tournament organizers.

Game & Mode Whitelisting

For any event that requires an entry fee, our platform requires the use of an officially whitelisted game and game mode. These modes have pre-configured, locked-in settings that remove variables of chance (e.g., random item drops, luck-based maps), ensuring a level and predictable playing field for all competitors.

Zero-Tolerance Anti-Cheat

Cheating in any form, including the use of unauthorized third-party software, bug exploitation, or match-fixing, is strictly forbidden. We operate on a zero-tolerance policy. Verified cheating will result in immediate account suspension, forfeiture of all funds, and a permanent ban from the platform. Use the report function on player profiles to flag suspicious activity.

Our Commitment to Fair Play
NUGS Esports is founded on the principle of fair competition. To operate as a premier platform for skill-based gaming, we have implemented a multi-faceted system to ensure that every match is decided by player skill, not by chance. Our compliance framework is built on three core pillars, which are strictly enforced, especially for events with cash prizes.

By implementing these systems, we create a trusted ecosystem where players can be confident that their success is earned through skill, dedication, and fair play. If you have any questions about our compliance policies, please review our Terms of Service or contact our support team.
