The Danish regulator also announced new partnership deals with three companies to help in its fight against match-fixing. The three companies are:
Sportradar Integrity Service
United Lotteries for Integrity in Sport (ULIS)
International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA)
The companies will monitor betting activity mainly in Danish betting markets and report suspicious betting patterns directly to Spillemyndigheden and gambling operators.
Speaking of the new partnerships Anders Dorph, director of the regulator said:
“We are very happy about the three cooperation agreements. It will significantly strengthen our efforts against match-fixing that we now receive the alerts directly. Combined with the large amounts of data we ourselves have, in the long run it can make our work even more efficient. We will be able to react very quickly and help stop behavior that threatens the integrity of the sport.”
Any alerts relating to suspicious activity received by the regulator will be assessed internally before being forwarded to the police or related sporting leagues if required.
