About SentinelID
SentinelID builds reputation infrastructure for the gaming industry. Our flagship product, the SentinelID MK1, is a physical USB device sold directly to players. It connects them to the Sentinel Trust Network — a shared reputation layer that game publishers integrate to offer Trust Play lobbies and protect competitive play.
Cheating is cheap when bans are free. Account bans are bypassed in minutes. IP bans are bypassed with a VPN. We believe the only effective deterrent is one with real cost — financial, time, and reputational. The SentinelID MK1 creates all three.
Our Mission
To make cheating expensive enough that it stops being worth it — by anchoring player reputation to a physical device that carries their history across every game in the network.
How It Works
There are two sides to the Sentinel Trust Network:
- Players purchase the SentinelID MK1 device from this website. No account or software needed — plug it in and it works with any supported game automatically. Their reputation is tied to the hardware and grows across every game on the network.
- Publishers integrate the Sentinel Trust Network API into their games. On each session start, they check the device's reputation and decide whether to grant access to Trust Play lobbies based on their configured threshold. Publishers manage this through the publisher dashboard and API — players never interact with either.
Pricing & Infrastructure
The $300 one-time price covers the physical device, the server infrastructure required to run the reputation network, and ongoing development and maintenance. There is no monthly subscription fee. We are committed to keeping it that way — though this is subject to change as the network grows.
