Following on from the publication in September of the Sport and Sports Betting Integrity Action Plan and the Government’s new sports strategy, today also sees the formal launch of the Sports Betting Integrity Forum (SBIF) website.

The SBIF brings together representatives from sports governing bodies, player associations, betting operators and trade associations, law enforcement and gambling regulation to tackle sports betting corruption. One of the SBIF’s key roles is to oversee implementation of the Sports and Sports Betting Integrity Action Plan.

The new website provides a central hub for information on the SBIF’s strategy to address the risks associated with match-fixing to help preserve and protect sports betting integrity in the UK. A range of best practice products and resources are available on the site, which includes examples of education programmes and prevention strategies, models of best practice, case studies and relevant research and reports.

Progress reports on the delivery of the Sports and Sports Betting Action Plan will be published on the website along with news articles and updates related to betting integrity from sport, law enforcement agencies, the betting industry and the Gambling Commission.

In addition, anyone wishing to contact the SBIF for advice or more information on the UK’s strategy to protect betting integrity can do so though the website.

Commenting on the website launch, Emma Boggis, Alliance CEO and Chair of the Sports Betting Group said: "The Sports Betting Group welcomes the clear commitment in the Government’s new sports strategy to protecting the integrity of sport and the launch of the SBIF website marks another important step forward in the UK’s coordinated approach to tackling sports betting corruption."

"As well as providing information about the SBIF and the role of its members, the website contains a host of useful resources for sports governing bodies and other organisations to learn from including examples of best practice education and prevention programmes, many of which have been developed by members of the Sports Betting Group."

“The Alliance and the Sports Betting Group welcome the new website and look forward to continuing our joint working with the SBIF stakeholders to protect the integrity of sport and sports betting.”
