Nowadays every sportsbook is trying its best to make online sports betting industry fraud free and this can’t be done by one entity only hence every big sportsbook is shaking hands with various security agencies worldwide to share real time information on any foul being happening in the game. Now, Sportradar has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with France’s Service Central des Courses et Jeux, the department within the nation’s police force that oversees the country’s racing and betting services. Under the new agreement, both parties will actively engage in the exchange of expertise, statistical and real data, information and trends related to sporting integrity. Apart from that they will also explore projects that they can be collaborate on or support each other on.
Talking about this, SCCJ chief Philippe Menard said, “Our aim in France is to make sure that we are at the forefront of the fight against match fixers and manipulators; that requires us to identify the most potent allies to help us shore up our defences.
“Our informal collaborations with Sportradar to date have left us in no doubt that today’s signing is a strong statement of intent and we look forward to working closer with their specialists to safeguard French sport.”
Likewise, Andreas Krannich, managing director of the Integrity Services division at Sportradar also added few words and said, “We have already worked closely and fruitfully with Mr Menard and his team in the past, looking at various sporting events held in France and also supporting their efforts around the Uefa Euro 2016 tournament hosted in France.
“It was clear to me that we could do more in the future and this MoU sets us up to begin identifying other ways for us to share insights and develop investigations.
“It is so encouraging to see the SCCJ live the spirit of the Macolin Convention and we are honoured that they trust us to support the efforts of the French National Platform going forward.”
