Tired of Cheaters Ruining Your Games?
SentinelID is a USB device that ties a player's entire ban history to physical hardware. Cheaters can't reset with a new account — the device is banned. Forever.
Account bans are band-aids
Publishers have spent millions on software anti-cheat. Cheaters adapt in days. The root problem has never been detection — it's identity.
New account, same cheater
Account bans take minutes to bypass. Cheaters buy a new account for a few dollars and they're back ruining your lobbies within the hour.
Softbans don't work
Software-based anti-cheat is a constant arms race. Cheat developers patch around new detections the same week they ship.
Ranked is broken
Elo inflation, boosting, and cheating have made ranked modes in most competitive games nearly unplayable at mid-to-high ranks.
How SentinelID works
Plug it in
The SentinelID MK1 is a small USB device. Plug it in before launching your game — no drivers, no setup, no account required.
Your reputation builds automatically
Every session is verified against the Sentinel Network. Play clean and your reputation score climbs across every supported game.
Bans stick to the hardware
When a violation is detected, the ban is recorded against the physical device. A new account can't help — the device is what's banned.
Trust Play lobbies unlock
Games on the network offer Trust Play lobbies — reputation-gated pools where only clean devices can queue. No cheaters. No boosters.
Built differently
Not another software layer. Hardware that changes the economics of cheating.
Hardware identity, not account identity
The cryptographic key lives in the USB chip. No software, no cloud account — the identity IS the device.
Bans that can't be reset
A new Steam account costs nothing. A new SentinelID MK1 costs $300 and takes days to ship. The economics of cheating change completely.
Cross-game reputation
Your reputation score follows you across every game on the network. Build it once, carry it everywhere.
Works alongside existing anti-cheat
SentinelID isn't a replacement for Vanguard or VAC — it's an identity layer on top. Better together.

Questions
How is this different from existing anti-cheat software?
Software anti-cheat detects cheats. SentinelID handles identity — it makes sure that when someone IS banned, the ban actually sticks. Most cheaters don't stop because they're detected; they stop when resetting becomes expensive.
Does it work on consoles?
The MK1 is a USB-A or USB-C device designed for PC gaming. Console support is on the roadmap.
What if someone steals my device?
Your device carries your reputation — treat it like your wallet. In a future update, devices will support an optional PIN lock.
Will my favorite game support it?
That's up to the publishers — and up to you. Use the form below to join our waitlist and tell the publishers you want it. The more demand we can show, the faster partnerships happen.
How much does it cost?
The SentinelID MK1 is a one-time purchase of $300. No subscription, no recurring fees.
