# Anti cheat

Anti-cheat software checks for wallhacks, aimbots, boosting, and even whether players are using scripts to cheat. It makes sure your game is fair, fun and safe for everybody.

## Some tools offer more

Some anti-cheat technology may offer other services, such as reporting your churn and AFK rate (away from keyboard).

## They shouldn’t affect gameplay

In most cases, you’d plug in your anti-cheat software with your matchmaker or orchestration system, which is usually tackled on the server-side. So none of your players will need to download or install anything.

Building a multiplayer game? Gameye hosts dedicated game servers: ship your server as a Docker container and start one per match with a single API call, in a region near your players.
