Introducing the 1v1Me Integrity Bounty Program

Introducing the 1v1Me Integrity Bounty Program

At 1v1Me, competitive integrity is the foundation of everything we build. Because our platform involves real-money staking, any behavior that undermines fair competition or user trust is taken extremely seriously.

To strengthen early detection and prevent integrity issues from escalating, we are launching the 1v1Me Integrity Bounty Program — a program designed to reward league participants who come forward early with credible, actionable information that helps protect users, leagues, and honest competitors.


Why We’re Launching This Program

Integrity violations rely on secrecy. When issues go unreported, they can grow, cause financial harm to users, and ultimately put entire leagues at risk.

Early reporting allows us to:

  • Protect users from financial losses
  • Take targeted enforcement instead of broad shutdowns
  • Preserve leagues and earning opportunities
  • Maintain trust across the platform

This program exists to align incentives around transparency and accountability.


Who Can Come Forward

This program is open only to league participants, including:

  • League players
  • Commentators
  • Referees

At this time, stakers or general app users are not eligible.

Importantly, individuals are not disqualified from reporting simply because they were aware of or connected to the situation. What matters most is coming forward early, being truthful, and helping prevent further harm.


What Qualifies for an Integrity Bounty

To qualify, a report must include actionable, verifiable information that allows us to intervene.

Examples include:

  • Knowledge of intentional match losses
  • Coordination between players to manipulate outcomes
  • Plans to influence upcoming match results
  • Conduct that compromises competitive integrity
  • Communications, timelines, or details that enable quick action

General rumors or speculation alone do not qualify.
Specific information that allows us to act does.


Quality of Proof Required

The quality of proof provided directly impacts eligibility and bounty amount.

Strong reports typically include:

  • Specific match details (league, players, dates, times)
  • Advance knowledge of intentional losses or manipulation
  • Clear explanations of how outcomes were planned or influenced
  • Screenshots, messages, or call logs
  • Timelines explaining who knew what, and when
  • Information provided before or shortly after misconduct occurs

The following generally do not qualify on their own:

  • Rumors or hearsay
  • Vague concerns without supporting detail
  • Information already public or already known internally
  • Reports made long after the fact with no corroboration

Bounty Amounts & Discretionary Increases

  • Base bounty: $1,000 for credible, verified reports

Bounties may be increased at 1v1Me’s discretion, typically ranging from:

$2,500 – $10,000+

Discretionary increases are based on factors including:

  • Speed of reporting
    • Issues reported immediately or shortly after occurring receive higher consideration
    • Reports made weeks or months later may receive lower rewards
  • Strength of proof
    • Clear, verifiable evidence increases reward potential
  • Impact
    • Preventing user losses
    • Stopping manipulation before it escalates
    • Helping preserve a league and avoid broader enforcement action

In general: earlier reports with stronger proof result in higher rewards.

All bounties are reviewed and awarded only after verification.


Confidentiality & Protection

All reports are handled with strict confidentiality.

  • Identities of individuals who come forward will not be disclosed publicly
  • Retaliation, harassment, or intimidation will not be tolerated
  • Any attempt at retaliation will result in enforcement action

Our priority is ensuring eligible participants feel safe coming forward.


How to Report

Reports can be submitted through either confidential channel:

  • Email directly to: integrity@1v1me.com

Both options allow for direct communication and follow-up.


Our Commitment

This program is not about punishment — it’s about protecting the ecosystem.

When integrity concerns are reported early:

  • Users are protected
  • Honest competitors keep earning
  • Leagues remain active
  • Trust in competition is preserved

If something doesn’t feel right, say something early.
