Football and tennis provide 61% of alerts
The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA), the leading voice on integrity for the licensed global sports betting industry, has published its 2024 sports betting integrity report. The report highlights that the total number of suspicious betting alerts reported in 2024 was 219, an increase of 17% on the revised 2023 figure of 187 alerts. However, the 2024 figure remains 11% below the annual average of 245 alerts during 2020-23.
Suspicious betting alerts spanned 12 sports across 53 countries in 2024, with Czechia (19) and Türkiye (11) topping the list. Football and tennis led the way in reported cases, with 75 and 58 alerts respectively, together accounting for 61% of all alerts in 2024.
There was a change geographically, with suspicious betting on sporting events in Europe falling from 113 alerts in 2023 to 80 in 2024. Meanwhile, alerts in Asia increased from 17 to 40, and Africa’s increased from 16 to 28. IBIA is keeping a close eye on these trends to determine whether they’re just anomalies or a growing trend that will require action.
IBIA data played a key role in sporting investigations, leading to 33 matches being deemed corrupted and 17 sanctions against clubs, players, and officials for betting violations.
Khalid Ali, CEO at IBIA, said: “The integrity position remains relatively consistent with previous years, with the focus of suspicious betting remaining primarily on football and tennis. A geographical shift away from European sporting events was observed, but it is too early to determine if this is an ongoing trend. As with all potentially corrupt activity, IBIA is analysing the data and working with its members and global integrity network to implement targeted countermeasures. IBIA’s growing membership are resolute in their commitment to identifying, disrupting, and preventing corrupt sports betting activity and to working with stakeholders.”
