While the exact figures of the financial conditions under the partnership remain undisclosed, the EWCF has confirmed its funding from the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia. The model of this funding has not been free from controversies on stringent human rights conditions within Saudi Arabia as they relate to LGBTQIA rights. Critics further argue that this may be at loggerheads with some segments in the esports community that resist Saudi policy outlines.
