Fair Play Update - July 2025

Hope everyone is having a great summer! Here's a short update from us in Fair Play.

In our July efforts, we closed 116k accounts for Fair Play violations. 20 of these accounts were titled players. These numbers represent a slight downturn from the last month, where we saw 119k total fair play closures and 25 titled players closed for cheating.

We've continued to make improvements to our internal tooling that helps us work through complicated fair play reports. We've become better in surfacing suspicious periods of play, which has sped up our review and action process. On top of that, we continue to monitor players' archives to investigate the possibility of past cheating. These improvements have led to an increase in closures the past few months.

Separately, we're getting even faster at catching cheaters soon after they create new accounts by making statistical and computational improvements to our screening logic.

In the world of titled play, we continue to bring more players onto Proctor (our tournament monitoring software) and support players through any issues they may be having while adjusting to the software. We've iterated on this product to get it into a great spot and we're excited to roll Proctor out more widely very very soon.

Other than that, it's been business as usual!
