Case Study: MPL (Mobile Premier League) secures fair play for 90M players with SHIELD's Risk Intelligence

Global Online Gaming Unicorn Mobile Premier League Levels Up Trust & Safety with SHIELD’s Risk Intelligence

MPL, the world’s leading mobile eSports platform with over 90 million registered users and millions of monthly tournaments, faced escalating fraud risks — app cloners, emulators, GPS spoofers, multi-accounting and collusion that undermined fair play during global expansion. To shore up trust and safety, MPL partnered with SHIELD and adopted SHIELD’s device fingerprinting and risk intelligence capabilities, notably SHIELD ID and its Global Intelligence Network.

SHIELD implemented device-level identifiers and real-time risk indicators to detect and block cloned apps, emulator-based accounts and location spoofing, preventing multi-accounting and collusion. The deployment protected over 90 million players, delivered noticeable improvements in gamer satisfaction, and gave MPL faster, more accurate fraud detection across regions—enabling safer global growth and stronger fair-play assurances thanks to SHIELD.
