BetKing, a leading sports betting platform, has aligned with the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) in a collective effort to combat corruption in sports. This partnership will enable BetKing to contribute to the IBIA’s global betting integrity monitoring and alert platform, working in tandem with a network of locally licensed members across the globe.
BetKing’s Commitment to Integrity:
Established in 2018, BetKing holds licenses in several African countries, including Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Ghana. The platform’s dedication to upholding the integrity of sports aligns seamlessly with the IBIA’s mission to ensure fair play and transparency in the sports betting industry.
Karim Fatih’s Perspective:
Karim Fatih, BetKing’s Head of Trading Operations, expressed enthusiasm about this collaboration. He stated, “We are delighted to have joined the fight against corruption in sport and look forward to working with IBIA and our colleagues across the industry in tackling match-fixing and all associated fraudulent activity.”
IBIA’s Expanding Membership:
BetKing’s membership in the IBIA follows the recent addition of Coolbet, owned by GAN, as a member. The IBIA has been consistently growing its network, with notable operators like VBet (operated by BetConstruct) and ComeOn Group also joining in recent months. Together, IBIA members collectively represent a staggering €115 billion (approximately £98 billion or $123 billion) in global annual turnover.
BetKing’s collaboration with the IBIA underscores the industry’s unwavering commitment to eradicating corruption from the realm of sports. This partnership amplifies the collective efforts of operators and organizations working diligently to ensure that the spirit of fair play and integrity remains at the forefront of the sports betting landscape. As part of the IBIA’s network, BetKing is poised to play a pivotal role in safeguarding the authenticity and credibility of sports around the world.
