ESTA Education Committee Presents: Trust & Safety in Esports
Safeguarding Integrity, Empowering Players

Esports has become one of the fastest-growing global industries, blending entertainment, competition, and community at an unprecedented scale. With millions of players and fans engaging daily, the challenge is clear: how do we keep esports safe, fair, and supportive while also enhancing the player experience and helping gamers reach their full potential?

The Esports Trade Association invites you to an engaging LinkedIn Live panel on Trust & Safety in Esports, hosted by Dr. Demetrios Roubos, cybersecurity and esports expert. Joining him are two innovators shaping the future of gaming safety and performance:

Ron Kerbs (CEO, Kidas) will share how Kidas is pioneering early-intervention tools that protect gamers from harassment, scams, and online threats. With real-time monitoring across thousands of popular games, Kidas empowers families, communities, and digital platforms to create environments where gamers can focus on what matters most: playing, connecting, and growing their skills without fear of harm.

Shubber Ali (CEO, Omnic.AI) will showcase how AI is transforming competitive integrity and player development. Omnic.AI not only detects cheating and suspicious gameplay but also provides players with personalized analytics, highlight reels, and coaching insights that help them sharpen their skills and elevate their performance. By combining fairness with growth, Omnic.AI is amplifying both trust and player experience.

Together, this panel will explore:

• How trust & safety tools improve not just protection but also the quality of the gamer experience.
• The role of AI in detecting toxicity, fraud, and cheating while also providing actionable coaching insights.
• Practical strategies for balancing safety, innovation, and player development.
• The future of esports governance and community health as the industry continues to scale.

This is more than a conversation about security; it’s about building a competitive ecosystem where players can thrive, learn, and perform at their best in an environment that is safe, inclusive, and fair.
