The IBIA, known for its commitment to fair play and transparency, has joined hands with IXUP to strengthen the integrity of sports betting in the US. The partnership will focus on developing cutting-edge solutions that will benefit operators, regulators, and sports governing bodies.
One of the standout initiatives of this collaboration is the promotion of IXUP's PlayPause encryption matching network to US member operators. PlayPause is an innovative pilot scheme that consolidates state voluntary exclusion lists and sports involuntary exclusion lists into a single real-time API.
In return, IXUP will actively endorse IBIA's integrity monitoring solution among its existing US clients, which include sports betting operators, regulators, sports leagues, and teams. This synergy aims to create a robust ecosystem that fosters fair play and trust in the sports betting industry.
The partnership also opens the door to exploring complementary services for other stakeholders in the sports wagering ecosystem, such as sports governing bodies and teams. IBIA's extensive licensing across the US and IXUP's operation of BetStop, the national self-exclusion register on behalf of Australia's government, make them formidable allies in this endeavor.
IBIA CEO Khalid Ali expressed the significance of this collaboration, stating, "This partnership allows each party to potentially incorporate the other's relationships, technology, and best practices. We will work together to identify suspicious betting activity and encrypted matching while ensuring that excluded individuals do not breach sporting rules."
Kevin Vonasek of PlayPause emphasized the shared vision of IBIA and IXUP, saying, "We are here to enhance the integrity of the sports betting ecosystem. We aim to better detect, investigate, and ultimately prevent wagering activity that violates our industry's rules and codes of conduct."
The IBIA-IXUP partnership represents a remarkable step forward in ensuring the fairness and credibility of sports betting in the United States. Their commitment to technological innovation and ethical practices promises a brighter future for the industry.
