The problems
What sporting organisations are up against
Sport concentrates brand value in a way counterfeiters love: passionate fans, iconic marks and seasonal demand spikes. The same passion makes athletes targets for abuse and impersonation - and clubs increasingly carry a duty of care for both.
02
Ticket scams
Fake ticket sellers
Scam accounts and sites selling tickets that don't exist - fans lose money, and the club wears the reputational damage.
03
Athlete identity
Athlete impersonation
Fake player and coach accounts scamming fans, running fake giveaways or damaging relationships with sponsors.
04
Athlete safety
Athlete abuse and defamation
Targeted harassment and false claims against players and officials - a wellbeing issue clubs are expected to act on.
05
Club marks
Unauthorized mark usage
Club crests, names and imagery used on unlicensed products, betting promotions and fan-monetised merchandise.
06
Broadcast content
Unauthorized streams and clips
Match content redistributed through streaming rips and social re-uploads, diluting broadcast and content value.

Honest limitations
What we won't promise you
The honest boundaries for sporting organisations:
Counterfeit sellers resurge around demand spikes; enforcement suppresses networks continuously rather than eliminating them permanently.
Platforms decide each complaint and report; our 98.6% success rate applies to verified, eligible matters.
Genuine fan criticism and match commentary aren't removable - enforcement targets abuse, falsehoods and policy breaches, and we'll be clear about the line.
Registered marks unlock the strongest marketplace channels; unregistered club imagery can often still be enforced through copyright, but the toolkit is narrower.

Response and enforcement
What can be assessed and acted on.
