Genius Sports and IOC establish integrity partnership

(UNITED KINGDOM, London – July, 2016) Genius Sports and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) have signed a landmark agreement that will see both organisations working together to fight against the manipulation of competitions related to sports betting and to protect the integrity of Olympic events.

Based on the new agreement, Genius Sports, through its Sport Integrity Monitor (SportIM) service, will support the IOC in delivering on its commitment to encourage and support the promotion of ethics in sport.

All sports competitions covered by the IOC’s Integrity Betting Intelligence System (IBIS), including the events at the Olympic Games and a range of competitions organised by International Federations (IFs) are implied in the agreement. By sharing information and best practices across these events, both organisations will be able to improve their respective areas of expertise through the use of specialist sports integrity technology.

Speaking at the signing of the agreement, the IOC’s Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer, Pâquerette Girard Zappelli, said: “In 2013, we launched our Intelligence Betting Integrity System to collate alerts and information on match manipulation and, ever since, we have further optimised the mechanism. We have identified responsible organisations that can assist our global effort to prevent corruption and are delighted about our new partnership with Genius Sports. They will provide added value by making available their specialist skills, knowledge and technological expertise during the Olympic Games and other major sporting competitions organised by the IFs.”

Philippine casino ordered closed for failing to honor revenue-sharing deal

A casino in the Philippines has been ordered closed after failing to abide by its revenue sharing deal with the local regulatory authority.

On Monday, the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) delivered a cease & desist letter to Frontier Wish International Ltd (FWIL), which operates the Oriental Paradise Casino in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone on Luzon, about 70 miles north of Manila.

According to the Inquirer, SBMA chairman Roberto Garcia accused FWIL of ignoring its obligations under the Freeport revenue-sharing rules. The letter was reportedly sent after the SBMA rejected an FWIL counteroffer regarding its unpaid financial obligations.

The letter didn’t specify the sum the SBMA claims to be owed, nor what FWIL had offered to pay. Freeport rules require casinos operated by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp (PAGCOR) to remit 3% of gross gaming revenue to SBMA. Other casinos calling Subic Bay home include the Venezia and the Grand Seasons Hotel.
