Brazilian Ministry of Finance and Sportradar Join Forces to Strengthen Integrity of Sports
The Brazilian Ministry of Finance, through the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting, and Sportradar Group AG signed a Technical Cooperation Agreement (ACT) to collaborate activities focused on safeguarding the integrity of the newly regulated sports betting and online gaming region.
The ACT aims to support the technical staff of the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting, given their responsibility at the national level to coordinate the authorization, inspection and sanctioning process of operators that provide online games and sports betting.
Sportradar’s Integrity Services will offer its expertise to the Secretariat, including reporting any suspicious incidents it may identify through its monitoring of the market, as well as providing strategic counsel to address these situations. Additionally, Sportradar will support the ongoing education and training of Secretariat staff on the threat of match-fixing, to enhance their knowledge and understanding of the issue.
Ministry of Finance spokesperson responsible for the partnership, Régis Dudena, Secretary of Prizes and Betting, said: “The partnership with Sportradar will be an important tool to combat a major threat to the fixed-odds betting market, which is the risk of manipulation of sports results.”
Felippe Marchetti, Sportradar’s Manager for Integrity Partnerships in Brazil, said: “The signing of the ACT is a proud occasion for Sportradar and we appreciate the trust shown by the Brazilian Ministry of Finance in the expertise of Sportradar’s Integrity Services division. This ACT reflects a mutual commitment to establish a sustainable, regulated sports betting industry in Brazil that is built upon a foundation of integrity.”
