“The Sports Betting Group and its members are committed to playing their part in protecting the integrity of sport from betting corruption. The Progress Report highlights the breadth of activity undertaken by the SBG in the last twelve months to share good practice and support other sports governing bodies to put measures in place to protect their sports.
“More broadly the Sports Betting Group remains committed to working in collaboration with other stakeholders through the Sports Betting Integrity Forum (SBIF) to tackle threats to the integrity of sport and sports betting.”
