Who are the Sports Betting Intelligence Unit?
The SBIU is a unit within the Gambling Commission which deals with reports of betting-related corruption. While evidence of corrupt sports betting in the UK has so far been limited to what appear to be isolated incidents, it is recognised that there is no room for complacency.
It is important for consumers to have confidence and belief that when a bet is placed with a Gambling Commission licensed betting operator, it is on markets that are fair and free from betting-related corruption.
The SBIU works closely with the betting industry, sport governing bodies, international federations and competition organisers, as well as domestic and international law enforcement agencies to understand potential threats and to help protect the integrity of sport and betting.
The SBIU collects information and develops intelligence about potentially corrupt betting activity. It receives information from various sources including (but not limited to) reports from the betting industry regarding suspicious activity on betting markets, concerns identified by sport governing bodies or tip-offs through the Gambling Commission’s confidential intelligence line.
