| By Daniel O'Boyle

Marek Suchar, co-founder and managing director of Odin.gg, and PandaScore chief executive Flavien Guillocheau discuss esports’ relationship with betting and the impact this can have on integrity with Clarion Gaming’s Jamie Coles.

While both note that there can be integrity issues in esports, they argue that distancing esports from betting is not the answer, as it risks reducing transparency.

Instead, they say, the betting and esports industries can work together productively to fight match fixing.
