International Handball Federation partners with Sportradar Integrity Services

The International Handball Federation (IHF) and Sportradar Integrity Services – a global supplier of sport integrity solutions and partner to over 100 sports federations and leagues – have today entered a multi-year agreement for the monitoring of global handball events. Sportradar Integrity Services is a unit of Sportradar (NASDAQ: SRAD) (“Sportradar” or “the Company”), the leading global sports technology company creating immersive experiences for sports fans and bettors.
Under the agreement, Sportradar Integrity Services will draw upon its substantial experience and expertise – having monitored global betting markets for more than 16 years – to provide bet monitoring via its Universal Fraud Detection System (UFDS) for IHF events, including both the men’s and women’s World, Junior and Youth World Championships, as well as the IHF Super Globe. Sportradar considers bet monitoring essential to every sport and believes that the service should be available to help protect all levels of competition.
The UFDS is an advanced and proven bet monitoring system that has been independently assessed and verified by recognized experts in the field of sports betting and integrity. Betting patterns are analysed for abnormalities by a global team of qualified integrity experts, and any suspicious matches are subsequently reported to partners, allowing critical visibility into worldwide match-fixing. Sportradar Integrity Services have detected over 6,500 suspicious matches during the past 16 years with more than 750 of these taking place in 2021 alone.
IHF President Dr. Hassan Moustafa said: “We recognize the modern-day integrity threats that face global sport, and handball is no exception. The IHF makes it a top priority to have robust measures in place to help safeguard the integrity of our major events, not just at men’s and women’s senior level, but also at youth and junior level. Sportradar have a proven track record in the field of sports integrity, and the depth of their bet monitoring capabilities will help to support our overall integrity programme in the years ahead.”
Sportradar Integrity Services Managing Director Andreas Krannich added: “We are delighted to partner with IHF to help support their integrity programme with our UFDS bet monitoring solution. We have witnessed rising integrity issues in handball over the past five years, and so we credit the vigilance shown by IHF in adding to the integrity provisions surrounding their events. At Sportradar, we are fully committed to assisting our partners’ integrity efforts and look forward to working together with the IHF to support the journey of global handball in the coming years.”

SOFTSWISS Young Fest: Uniting a Global Team in a Hybrid World

SOFTSWISS brought together all of its employees, team members from its Polish development centres, and representatives from partner companies for the Young Fest – a four-day celebration on the Mediterranean coast. The event marked the final chapter in a series of festivities dedicated to SOFTSWISS’ 15th anniversary.
Fifteen years is a significant milestone for a business that began with just three people and has since grown into a global tech company with over 2,000 employees. Today, the team spans offices in Malta and Georgia, development hubs in Poland, and remote locations across the globe, including Cyprus, Italy, Portugal, Brazil, South Africa and others.
Fifteen years is more than enough time to prove what the company is capable of in business. SOFTSWISS has earned a reputation as a reliable technology partner for the iGaming industry, building a portfolio of over 1,200 client brands around the world.
Viewed from a personal perspective, 15 years marks the beginning of a journey – a time of discovery, ambition, and constant decision-making. This idea became a central theme of the event, reflecting the dynamic and fast-paced nature of the iGaming industry, where curiosity, innovation, and bold thinking continue to shape the future.
Young Fest lasted four days and combined a unique mix of parties, team-building activities, learning sessions, and, of course, work – all in an unconventional setting. SOFTSWISS employees embraced the spirit of freshmen, easily balancing working, collaboration, and late-night networking events.
What made the festival programme truly special wasn’t just the headlining acts like Little Big, Intelligency and more – but also the performances by SOFTSWISS employees and partner companies. Team members took to the main stage as DJs – including Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS – bringing their own energy and vibe to the celebration.
“I’m happy to bring everyone together and connect in person,” said Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS. – These days were filled with meaningful conversations, tons of fun, and a true festival spirit. I’m proud that even after 15 years in business, we still maintain a spirit of innovation, boldness, and self-expression. Young Fest is a perfect reflection of that mindset.”
“Bringing together 2,000 people from 30 countries for four days on the Mediterranean coast was no small feat,” said Liudmila Glasunova, Co-Chief HR Officer at SOFTSWISS.
“But with a distributed workforce – some in offices across different countries and others working remotely – this was an important opportunity for everyone to connect in person. Nothing builds team spirit better than real, human interaction,” – mentioned Liudmila Glasunova.
SOFTSWISS is no stranger to large-scale events. One of its previous internal initiatives, the SOFTSWISS Values Fest, was named Best Corporate Event at the Global Eventex Awards 2024.
