Esports Insurance
Protecting the future of competitive gaming.
Esports is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, with tournaments, teams and players attracting global audiences and significant prize pools.
But with rapid growth comes new risks, from cyber threats and event cancellations to reputational challenges.
Our specialist esports insurance coverage is designed to safeguard everyone involved in esports, helping you focus on success while we manage the risks.
What Is ESPORTS?
Esports refers to competitive electronic gaming, played in organised formats either online or at live events. Esports is part of the gaming industry and both are intrinsically linked, it is a fast-moving industry which often capitalises on the latest popular game, quickly promoting or hosting tournaments.
Popular games include:
- Traditional sports-based games
- First-person shooters such as Fortnite
- Team strategy games like League of Legends
The industry has seen explosive growth, with professional players, teams and fans worldwide. Low barriers to entry make esports accessible, but rising prize money and global exposure mean gaming and esports insurance is more important than ever to protect careers, organisations and events.
WHY DOES ESPORTS NEED INSURANCE?
The global rise of esports has created exciting opportunities, but also increased exposure to unexpected risks such as:
- Financial risks from cancelled events or disrupted broadcasts.
- Cyber threats targeting players, teams and organisers.
- Reputational risks that can impact careers and organisations.
- Liability concerns for tournaments, venues and sponsors.
With decades of experience in sports and entertainment insurance, our team understands these challenges and provides tailored esports insurance to protect your future.
