I (Andrew, CEO) grew up alongside the rise of technology and gaming.

It has been an awesome journey, and I truly believe that being born in the early 90’s was one of the best times ever. Being able to experience games as they’ve evolved over the last 30 years has been a great pleasure of mine.

However, over the last few years, myself and a lot of my friends have noticed such an influx of cheating, hacking, botting, and people trying to gain an unfair advantage in games.

In multiplayer games, this ruins the experience for everyone.

There’s been a perfect storm that’s made gaming so much worse.

• Games have increasingly moved to free-to-play with a focus on battle-passes and micro-transactions which has removed all barrier to entry. It’s easy to create accounts and cheat over and over.

• The rise of TikTok and Instagram shorts have made it easier than ever for cheat devs to advertise. Plus, foul-play is one search away, and they’ve never been cheaper or more accessible,

• Games have become more competitive than ever with an increase in high-risk/high-reward genres exploding in popularity. This breeds frustration in losing and getting stuck; to which cheats seem like a tempting solution to solve.

• The rise in watching games; streaming has become such big business, and the way streamers grow their audience is through generating amazing content that they share on social. What easier or better way to generate great content than to “have a little help” (cheat).

We’re in this weird stage of gaming now with so many problems and so much frustration; and its ruined the experience for me and my friends too many times.

This is why I set out on this journey to create a solution that would make gaming more fun for everyone today, but also, hopefully solve many of the issues with the online world for my family in the future.

How we behave online should matter;

If somebody intentionally seeks to break the rules to have an unfair advantage over everyone else they should face a meaningful penalty. And, anyone sexual towards children online should be removed forever.

PlaySafe ID fixes the issue of cheating, hacking, botting, and bad-actors. It makes gaming significantly more fair, fun, and safe for everyone - whilst being retaining user’s anonymity and protecting their data.

It’s my hope that PlaySafe ID will always be the bastion for players that they deserve.
