Esports Insurance
A comprehensive event insurance policy for organisers of Esports events.
Our Esports insurance covers the policyholder for legal liability at online gaming events they’ve organised.
Esports Insurance
Esports are a big part of the gaming industry and give skilled individuals the opportunity to participate in online competitions on a global scale. Players from around the world can participate online in competitive gaming and tournaments which often can involve prizes. That said, there are risks with any event and Esports events present unique risks where technology and venues must also be considered. From the threat of cyber attacks and security breaches to potential transmission failure, there are many potential issues that event organisers can protect themselves from.
Here at Event Insurance Services, we offer policies to protect organisers against these risks so they don’t suffer financial loss should something go wrong.

Esports insurance FAQs
Esports stands for electronic sports and is a form of competition involving video games. Esports insurance is a type of specialist insurance which is designed to protect event organisers from liability should a claim be made against them.
Esports has become an increasingly popular type of event since the advancement of technology, but it’s a type of sporting event which comes with its own unique risks, including:
- Transmission failure - system damage can lead to the failure of transmission which impacts the ability for players to participate.
- Property loss or damage - Esports events involve the use of specialist technical equipment which could become damaged.
- Cyber crime - data security is a risk in the environment that Esports takes place in and you don’t want any of the participants’ personal data to be compromised during your event.
- Event cancellation - conditions outside of your control could lead to event cancellation, leading to financial loss.
Esports insurance will help to protect against these potential disruptions and concerns, giving you the peace of mind you need when running your Esports event.
