Under the terms of this agreement, there will be comprehensive sharing of data from their respective data reporting platforms, particularly information on suspicious wagering activity.

Additionally, the two organizations have expressed that they will share advanced technological resources and there is potential for both parties to collaborate in the future on anti-match-fixing activities.

I am delighted that we have reached this important agreement with Genius Sports. It brings together two leading global players in the sports technology and betting integrity environments with a clear focus on protecting sporting events from betting-related corruption. The addition of Genius Sports as an Associate member of IBIA is particularly welcome given the breadth of its sporting and integrity relationships across North and South America, which will assist IBIA’s operational expansion across those regions.

This agreement sees IBIA continue to make great strides in enhancing sports betting integrity. It follows the recent partnership that saw Novibet join the IBIA.
