4 February 2025, Malta – SkillOnNet, a global leader in online gaming, has joined forces with the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) in a move to reinforce integrity in the sports betting industry. This partnership aligns SkillOnNet with over 70 of the world's most reputable betting operators committed to tackling fraud and corruption in gambling.
Commitment to Fair Play and Industry Standards
With a presence in multiple regulated markets and over 40 brands under its umbrella, SkillOnNet now integrates into IBIA’s industry-wide Monitoring & Alert Network, an advanced system designed to identify and report suspicious betting activities. IBIA collaborates closely with major sporting bodies, including FIFA, UEFA, ITIA, and the IOC, ensuring that its data supports investigations and maintains the integrity of sports events.
Expanding Influence in the Brazilian Market
SkillOnNet has been expanding into Latin America, particularly Brazil, where new regulations are shaping the market into what experts predict could become one of the largest globally. IBIA has made Brazil a strategic focus, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding the integrity of this fast-growing industry. By joining IBIA, SkillOnNet strengthens its commitment to a regulated, transparent, and fair gaming environment.
Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating: “IBIA is pleased to welcome SkillOnNet to our association of leading global gambling operators. The addition of SkillOnNet to IBIA further strengthens our position in Brazil, the LatAm region, and globally. The move highlights SkillOnNet’s commitment to protecting the integrity of its betting products, consumers, and related sporting events by utilizing the world’s leading operator-led monitoring and alert network. IBIA looks forward to working closely with SkillOnNet and to integrating the operator within our global sports betting integrity system.”
Pedro Garcia, Brazil Country Manager at SkillOnNet, emphasized the importance of responsible expansion, saying: “We’re hugely bullish about the Brazilian market, but with any young market, you must ensure safeguards are in place to protect players and operators. The IBIA does an extremely important job of upholding the highest standards of integrity in markets across the world, and it’s a privilege to be part of the organization.”
Strengthening Global Betting Integrity
IBIA remains the leading integrity watchdog for regulated sports betting markets, operating as a not-for-profit entity. Its mission is to protect against match-fixing and fraudulent activity by leveraging its extensive intelligence-sharing network with regulators and sporting authorities worldwide. The association works alongside key stakeholders to ensure fair play, trust, and transparency within the gambling industry.
With SkillOnNet now part of IBIA, the partnership enhances monitoring efforts across various markets, supporting a unified stance against betting-related corruption. As the industry evolves, initiatives like this ensure that gaming remains secure and sports maintain their integrity.
