⏱ 2 min read
(Belgium).- The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) reported 38 cases of suspicious betting to the relevant authorities during the second quarter (Q2) of 2021.
The Q2 2021 total represents a 41% decrease in reported alerts when compared to the Q1 total of 64 and represents a similar decrease when compared to the Q2 2020 total, which saw 65 alerts. The Q2 alerts covered football (16 cases), table tennis (9), tennis (6), eSports (6) and beach volleyball (1). From a geographical perspective, Europe accounted for nearly half (47%) of all alerts reported, followed by Asia and South America with 13% each.
Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said: “The 38 cases in Q2 added to the 64 cases in Q1 brings the midyear
total to 102 alerts reported by the association. Football has provided the highest number of
alerts during that period with 28, followed by tennis (24) and eSports (23). These three sports
comprise nearly 75% of all alerts reported in the first half of 2021. IBIA’s expanding membership
means that, as set out in the recently published Optimum Betting Market report, it now represents
$137bn in global regulated betting turnover per annum making it the largest customer-based
integrity platform in the world with nearly 50% of the commercial online market.”
Other key data for Q2 2021:
5 - the number of different sports reported in Q2
6 - alerts on tennis (the lowest since IBIA began producing quarterly reports in 2015)
15 - different countries where alerts were reported
16 - alerts reported on football in Q2 (an increase of 33% on Q1 2021)
