Moonton and ESIC Build Integrity Framework for Mobile Legends Esports

Moonton Games has established a formal integrity framework for its mobile esports title, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), in collaboration with the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC). The initiative mandates that all third-party tournament operators seeking official licensing must integrate ESIC’s integrity protections into their operational processes and competition documentation. This partnership, which began in 2024, positions Moonton as a leader in adopting standardized governance to ensure a consistent and credible competitive environment.

Under the new requirements, tournament organizers must ensure that all participants comply with the ESIC Code of Conduct and related integrity policies. Furthermore, organizers are obligated to honor any sanctions, suspensions, or disciplinary outcomes issued by ESIC. The framework also provides a mechanism for implementing anti-doping measures, which can be deployed at the discretion of Moonton Games to align with recognized international standards.

This development reflects a broader maturation of the MLBB ecosystem as the title gains prominence in high-stakes international settings, including the Esports World Cup and various multi-sport events. By providing organizers with access to established model clauses, compliance guidance, and supporting infrastructure, the framework aims to professionalize the competitive landscape. While the initiative serves as a practical model for publisher-led integrity, it remains flexible, allowing for adjustments based on the specific regulatory needs and operational capacities of different tournament structures. The move underscores a proactive approach to governance, ensuring that stakeholders across the global mobile esports sector are held to clear and enforceable integrity expectations.
