Thankfully, at least for now, wargaming doesn't need this. Since there's not much at stake there's little motivation to do anything dishonorable, and we can trust each other more readily. If we were suddenly pushing panzers for big money I'm sure some people would suddenly show up that we'd have to keep an eye on.
