The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) reported 76 cases of suspicious betting to the relevant authorities during the third quarter (Q3) of 2022. The Q3 alerts covered eight sports, with the top four of tennis (33 cases), esports (16), football (13) and table tennis (10) accounting for 95% of all alerts. From a geographical perspective, Europe accounted for around half    (49%) of all alerts reported, followed by Asia (11%) and Africa (9%).
Khalid Ali, IBIA CEO, said: âAlerts for the quarter are at the higher end of the scale compared to previous years, but must be viewed against the associationâs substantial growth in membership during the year. That has served to increase global market coverage and the alerts identified and reported, underlining the beneficial impact of a global multi-operator betting integrity network. IBIA continues to work closely with its members and external stakeholders, such as sports and regulators, to ensure that suitable risk management processes are implemented and encourages a zero-tolerance approach to the manipulation of sporting events and associated betting fraud.â
Other key data for Q3 2022:
- 60 â percentage decrease in football alerts compared to Q2 (32 alerts)
- 29 â number of countries where alerts were reported
- 15 â percentage decrease in alerts compared to Q2 (89 alerts)
- 5 â highest number of alerts recorded in a country (occurring in Spain, Hungary and Poland)

![Hard Rock Casino NL turns to BetComply for Netherlands launch](https://europeangaming.eu/portal/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/11-3-e1721908582174.jpg)
BetComply, iGamingâs most trusted technical and regulatory compliance firm, has partnered with iCasino, securing a Dutch licence for their recently-launched Hard Rock Casino brand.
HardRockCasino.nl operated by iCasino b.v. under a brand licence agreement announced its Netherlands launch at the start of July, having worked closely with BetComply to secure a licence from the Dutch regulator de Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) in May.
The brand will continue to work with BetComply to ensure on-going compliance within the Netherlands framework.
iCasino CEO Paul Strikers said: âItâs hugely exciting to bring such a globally renowned brand to the Dutch market for the first time. We understood early on in the process that operator compliance needed to be one of our highest priorities, and thatâs why we enlisted the help of BetComply and its unparalleled expertise in the Netherlands. We thank Mike and the team for their tireless and rigorous support on our successful licence application, and look forward to building upon this partnership in the future; the first step being the application for a sports betting licence.â
BetComply Chief Compliance Officer Mike de Graaff added: âThe Netherlands market has attracted some huge international brands over recent months, underlining the opportunities on offer for those who build a deep understanding of their regulatory obligations. Weâve already helped more than a third of all licence holders in the country, and with the KSA taking a proactive approach across all elements of regulation, weâll continue to support our partners, including iCasino, as market conditions evolve.â
With recent high-profile reports of serious misconduct within the iGaming compliance space, it has never been more important to pick a trusted and reliable partner, both in the Netherlands and elsewhere.
