AI Chat Moderation for Gaming & Esports
Real-time chat moderation for your game, in many languages. Protect players, apply your own rules and keep a record built for the DSA, without keeping a moderation team online around the clock.
Toxic chat drives players away
Moderation is getting harder for online gaming communities. Hate speech, harassment, spam and scams in chat drive players away and create legal risk. With millions of messages a day across servers worldwide, nobody can read them all by hand.
-
46% of players report experiencing harassment in online games (ADL 2024).
-
Regulatory pressure from the EU DSA and online safety laws requires platforms to act on illegal content.
-
Many languages to cover, since global games need moderation in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic and more.
