“By utilising their extensive experience in the field of sports integrity, we believe that we are in a very good position to identify integrity issues in our competitions, and address any emerging risk factors threatening our sport.”
Sportradar Integrity Services Managing Director, Andreas Krannich, added: “In our position as a leader in sporting integrity, it is our top priority to provide our partners with an effective framework to combat match-fixing and other integrity issues, especially when considering the increased risk to global sport as a result of the challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic”, as reported by Gambling Insider.
