At BZN Lex, we share the passion of our clients for sport and we offer qualified legal advice to those involved in sport management, including sporting bodies, federations, sponsors, etc

eSports

The eSports industry is an activity in full swing and very dynamic, which monopolizes more and more media focus. From a legal point of view, this means facing new challenges. Therefore it is fundamental to master the particularities of this new industry: understand what videogame competitions are and who the main actors are. For example; the publisher, the promoter or organizers of videogame competitions, the sponsors, the betting houses or the eSports bars, the teams and of course the players. (French regulations, for example, define the professional videogame player as “a person who competes within the scope of an association or company authorized by the Digital Ministry in exchange for remuneration”).

By way of example, we will say that the promoters are affected by a wide range of legal situations such as; obtain the permission of the publisher, establish the competition rules of the registered teams, commercialize the audiovisual rights on the tournament, look for sponsorships and guarantee the integrity of the competition, applying anti-doping measures and fixing the bets.

In short, – if you are any of the aforementioned actors, – take into account that you will receive the advice of a Law Firm specialized in this area of ​​law. This will allow you to carry out your activity with due legal guarantees. Bear in mind that any business or virtual activity has an impact in the real world.
