The City of Buenos Aires Regulator and IBIA Sign New Alliance to Cooperate on Sports Betting Integrity

Published

on

 

The Loteria de la Ciudad, the public entity in charge of regulating sports betting in the city of Buenos Aires, and the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA), the largest betting integrity monitor of its type in the world, have signed a memorandum of understanding on sports betting integrity. The agreement will contribute to the development of a regulated, transparent, safe and responsible sports betting market and discourage all types of unfair or fraudulent practices and the manipulation of sports competitions in the city of Buenos Aires.

Martin Garcia Santillan and Federico Cattadori, President and Manager of Gaming and Betting Control of Loteria de la Ciudad, proceeded to sign this memorandum with IBIA, which establishes collaboration guidelines for the exchange of technical knowledge and information related to the integrity of sports and betting.

“The IBIA is delighted to have reached an agreement with the Loteria de la Ciudad to work collaboratively to protect sports, consumers and the regulated betting market from match-fixing,” the Chief Executive Officer for the IBIA, Khalid Ali, said. “The association and its members will analyse the betting on their global markets, which cover over $137 billion in sports betting revenue per annum, and work closely with the Loteria de la Ciudad to identify and investigate any suspicious betting activity.”

As highlighted in IBIA’s Q1 integrity report, during the period 2018 to 2022, the association reported nine suspicious betting alerts on Argentinian sporting events, which represents approximately 9% of all the 105 alerts reported in the Latin American region in that period (behind Brazil with 33 alerts, Dominican Republic with eleven and Mexico with eleven).

This alliance is beneficial for Loteria de la Ciudad as the sharing of information on suspicious betting activities will allow feedback on prevention and it will facilitate the improvement of actions to ensure fraud control and prevention. In turn, this comprehensive approach will ensure that actions are taken to mitigate any potential criminal activity.

The IBIA is a globally recognized non-profit organization that seeks to guarantee integrity in the sports betting sector. Its membership includes nearly 50 companies and over 125 leading sports betting brands including companies that operate with a licence in the city of Buenos Aires.

Representing nearly 50% of all regulated commercial online betting activity, the IBIA’s key objective is to fight against corruption in betting in order to protect the integrity of its members, consumers and partners such as sports bodies from fraud caused by the unfair manipulation of sporting events and associated betting.

The signing of this memorandum highlights the policy of Loteria de la Ciudad to strengthen ties with international bodies for the protection of the integrity of sport and sports betting and, in addition, reinforces the commitment to the prevention, surveillance and detection of unfair or fraudulent practices within a regulated, safe and transparent framework.

NFL Announces Partnership with ICRG

NFL Announces Partnership with ICRG

 

The National Football League (NFL) announced a partnership with the International Center for Responsible Gaming (ICRG) to address growing concerns around gambling behaviors among college athletes and students. The NFL Foundation will contribute $600,000 over three years to support independent, peer-reviewed research being led by the ICRG that aims to explore the prevalence, risk factors, and impacts of gambling behaviors in these populations.

While initial studies have indicated that college athletes may be at higher risk for gambling problems, there remains a lack of comprehensive, current data on how college populations interact with online sports betting platforms. This NFL-ICRG initiative will empower independent researchers to explore a wide range of topics with the goal of informing data-driven prevention strategies, education, and policies aimed at reducing gambling-related harm. Grant applications will be peer-reviewed prior to the selection of the final recipient by the ICRG Independent Scientific Advisory Board.

Additionally, the NFL will fund an update to the ICRG’s “Talking with Children About Gambling” educational resources to equip parents, coaches, and educators with practical guidance to help prevent youth gambling exposure before college. Educational materials will be widely available online and distributed to schools, community sports organizations, and youth programs nationwide.

“We’re proud to partner with the ICRG to advance research that can drive meaningful solutions and address a critical gap in the understanding of gambling behaviors among college athletes and students. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to promoting responsible gambling and fostering a safe and supportive environment for athletes, fans, and communities,” said Anna Isaacson, NFL senior vice president of social responsibility.

“The NFL has once again demonstrated its commitment to player and fan protection by supporting this critical research targeting young adults. The NFL and ICRG together will make a meaningful contribution to understanding and implementing policies and programs that support a safer gambling environment,” said Arthur Paikowsky, president of ICRG.
