What Is Trust?
At Sportivoo, we believe in fair play and honest competition. Every player has a Trust Score that reflects their reliability and sportsmanship within our community. This score works quietly in the background to ensure that honest players have the best experience while protecting everyone from unfair behavior.
Think of trust as your reputation in the community - it's earned through consistent fair play and responsible actions, especially when reporting match results and participating in result verification.
How We Ensure Correct Match Results
The Community Verification System
When a match ends, we rely on our players to confirm the results. Here's how we maintain accuracy:
- Multiple Players Report - Several players from the match submit the result
- Community Votes Count - Each vote is weighted based on the player's trust level
- Majority Decides - The result with the most weighted support becomes official
- Trust Updates - Players who voted with the majority gain trust, while those who voted incorrectly lose some
This system ensures that:
- Honest players have stronger influence on results
- False reports are quickly identified and corrected
- The community self-regulates for fairness

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I see my exact trust score?
A: No, trust scores are hidden to prevent gaming the system. Focus on playing fairly and your trust will naturally improve.
Q: How quickly does trust change?
A: Trust changes gradually based on your actions. Consistent good behavior builds trust steadily, while violations cause immediate decreases.
Q: What if I accidentally report the wrong result?
A: Occasional mistakes happen. If you consistently report accurately, a single error won't significantly impact your standing.
Q: Can I lose all my privileges permanently?
A: No, recovery is always possible through sustained fair play. However, rebuilding from very low trust takes time and consistency.
Q: How do I know if I'm voting correctly?
A: Simply report what actually happened in the match. If you're honest, you'll naturally vote with the majority of fair players.
Q: Does trust affect matchmaking?
A: Trust primarily affects your voting influence and feature access, not who you're matched with.
Q: Can high-trust players abuse their power?
A: The system monitors all players. Even verified players lose trust for false reports, and the community consensus prevents individual abuse.

A: This depends on consistent fair play over an extended period. Focus on being a positive community member rather than chasing status.
Q: Can I improve trust without playing matches?
