SEPANG: The electronic sports or esports industry is currently under the scrutiny of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission due to it being exposed to corruption and gambling issues, says Tan Sri Azam BakiThe MACC chief commissioner said corrupt activities in the esports industry were believed to occur in the form of digital transactions such as bitcoin and cryptocurrency which make it difficult for the authorities to detect them.
In his speech, Azam said the landscape of the sports industry became more challenging when electronic sports became a focus because of the potential and high commercial value the sector is able to generate.
