IBIA welcomes historic vote of Brazilian sports betting law

IBIA welcomes the approval of the Sports Betting Law by the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies. The law puts in place an effective system of operator regulation and licensing for both sports betting and online casinos in Brazil. It also includes a number of integrity measures to strengthen the fight against match fishing related to sports betting.

The law includes a requirement for sports betting operators to become part of an international supervisory body. This state will undoubtedly help ensure the following mechanisms to protect operators, their purchasers, and the sports world against possible fraud and irregularities: Furthermore, the possibility for betting providers to temporarily suspend the payment of bets on matches under investigation for possible corruption is crucial to protect providers and prevent sports betting fraud.

Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said: "This is a historic moment for sports betting in Brazil and a major step forward in the fight against match fixing. IBIA welcomes the adoption into law of the concrete betting integrity provisions that the association has been advocating since the discussions on sports betting regulation began in 2018. Many operators targeting the Brazilian market have already joined IBIA and we look forward to working with other operators seeking to provide Brazilian consumers with a safe sports betting product through IBIA's leading integrity network."

IBIA is run by operators for operators, and its network of forecasts and alerts leverages the corporate resources and expertise of many of the world's largest regulated sports betting companies. IBIA tracks $150 billion in bets on approximately 650, 000 sporting events around the world, making it the largest betting network of its kind in the world. According to H2 Gambling Capital, a leading independent provider of data on mass gaming markets, IBIA's members already account for more than 60% of Brazil's remote gaming market.

The IBIA International Forecast and Alert Network provides clear and detailed information on untrusted bookmaking in Brazilian sports to bookmaker regulators, law enforcement agencies and sports governing bodies.

Khalid Ali said: "The new law is seen as a reasonably necessary milestone in the fight against match fixing, but there is no room for complacency. We will continue to work more closely with Brazilian regulators on the implementation of the Integrity Law, as well as with sports and law enforcement agencies, and share technology to ensure better detection, containment and enforcement of penalties for sports betting related to match fixing and fraudulent activities."

Opening up the market to licensed sports betting operators is considered essential to protect consumers and the integrity of sports from fraudulent activities related to sports betting. A regulated sports betting market will draw buyers away from the unregulated market, where many of the problems related to match fixing and corruption originate.

Khalid Ali said: "By opening up its bazaar to licensed sports betting operators, Brazil is sending a rather important message to other Latin American markets about the importance of a vibrant, competitive and regulated sports betting system with strong integrity provisions in the fight against match phishing associated with sports betting.

Sports betting operates in a competitive international market, and an overly burdensome regulatory and tax framework would have counterproductive and unintended consequences, such as driving sports betting buyers into unregulated markets, reducing tax revenues and increasing the risk of corruption and matchmaking.

The IBIA therefore welcomes the precedent set by the Chamber of Deputies, which has in effect resisted the temptation to impose higher taxes on gambling. The impact of the tax burden sharing and the significant price of the license fee, which still amounts to 30 million BRL, have every possibility of delaying investments in Brazil.

The RFEF and the Spanish Government take further steps to fight against illegal sports betting

The Federation is part of the Mass Gambling Market Investigation Service (SIGMA), part of the General Directorate of Gambling Regulation.

The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has officially joined SIGMA, a service specialized in large-scale investigations of gambling markets. This is thanks to an agreement with the General Directorate of Gaming Regulation, under the Ministry of Public Rights, Consumerism and Agenda 2030, signed at the Ciudad del Futbol in Las Rosas by Pedro Rocha (President of the RFEF Management Committee) and Miquel Arana (Head of Gaming Regulation).

With this agreement, the RFEF is preparing to take a new step in its own work to prevent and detect fraudulent activities related to illegal sports betting, by formally joining SIGMA. This service provides a two-way cooperation network in which members exchange information to fight fraud in the sports betting market and prevent the manipulation of this type of competition.

Pedro Rocha stated that football, as "an example for society, whatever it may be," has the obligation to fight against anything that disrupts the league and its sporting spirit. "To be true, we must guarantee equal competence, safety, security and, of course, its purity for all who play this game," said the RFEF's steering committee president, before approving the RFEF's commitment to "continue to ensure transparency and cooperate with the relevant institutions and security forces even after the signing of the agreement."

In his own words, Miquel Alan thanked the RFEF for its loyalty to the idea of ​​non-betting gambling and confirmed "the importance of this to give the football world a real meaning in sport". Alan approved the plan to "continue the company of DGOJ Will to prosecute illegal fraud in sporting events" and to "recruit new players to investigate mass gambling in order to increase its efficiency and intensity".

Besides Pedro Roch and Michel Arana, various officials were present, including from the RFEF, Fairness Commissioner Felip Sanchera-Pedreno, and from the Directorate, Deputy Director General; Eugenio Álvarez Fernández, Director General of Gambling Coordination or Deputy Director; and Cecilia Pastor Pons, Director General of Gambling Inspection. They all agreed that the signing of this agreement will make the RFEF for many other organizations in the field of management and interdepartmental cooperation for the benefit of more than the best properties of football, free from any suspicions.

How Sigma works

Sigma is a service managed by the Directorate General for Gambling Regulation and offered cheaply in digital format for members included in the first group. Under the terms of the agreement, the RFEF will provide its own data to the Directorate General for Gambling Regulation in Sport, the support of sports fees and the ability to fight corruption related to the operation of fraud. As said in the currently signed agreement, this work "undermines the interests of members and operators in this sector and presents one of the greatest dangers to sport".

The federations will provide the necessary information on fraudulent and suspicious sports fees.

As an example of the data that the RFEF can provide to Sigma, it can provide information on the presence or absence of licenses for each family (players, coaches, etc.) and on those suspected of committing fraudulent or unbelievable acts related to sports fees. In addition to facilitating the work of other institutions, such as the police and judicial authorities, the collaboration with Sigma also facilitates the implementation of appropriate disciplinary measures.

It also includes an analysis of alerts for tennis, which averaged 13 per quarter in 2023, compared to 26 per quarter in 2022 and 20 per quarter in 2021.
