Increase in alerts attributed to widening of the monitoring network as a result of membership growth

The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA), the leading global voice on integrity for the licensed betting industry, has published its annual suspicious betting alerts. The increase in alerts for 2022 was a result of significant growth of its membership and the coverage of its regulated betting market monitoring network. The number of successful sporting or criminal sanctions last year confirms the value of collaborating through IBIA’s network in the fight against match-fixing.

The 268 cases reported represents a 14% increase on the previous year, albeit the figure is reasonably consistent with the 230 average annual alerts during 2019-21. There were 50 alerts in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2022, adding to revised figures of 48 alerts (Q1), 80 (Q2) and 90 (Q3). The 2022 alerts spanned 14 sports and 61 countries, with tennis and football continuing to dominate. Europe also continued to provide the highest number of alerts with nearly 50% of the annual total.

During 2022, successful sporting or criminal sanctions were announced against 15 teams, officials or players where IBIA had reported suspicious activity on their matches. In several of the cases, data from IBIA and its members helped contribute to significant sanctions, such as life bans, being issued. This collective action attests to the powerful impact of IBIA’s data and cross-sector partnership working.

Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said: “The protective shield provided by IBIA is a vital tool in identifying and sanctioning attempted corruption on regulated betting markets. That has been underlined by welcome successful prosecutions during 2022 based on IBIA data, and we expect further corroboration of the association’s important positive impact and collaborative approach to be evident throughout 2023.”

IBIA’s network involves over 45 companies and 125 sports betting brands, including many of the leading regulated betting operators in the world, making IBIA the largest organisation of its nature. Whilst mitigating integrity activity continues across all of our members’ markets, North America has understandably been the focus of much attention: IBIA is the largest integrity monitor in Ontario, with a number of new members set to be announced across U.S. states over the coming weeks and months.

Khalid Ali adds: “The addition of 16 new members in 2022 has undoubtedly strengthened our monitoring and alert network and our ambition is to see all responsible regulated sports betting operators collaborating through IBIA. Proactive and collaborative action by our sector is an essential component in the fight against match-fixing, and to enhancing the overall reputation of the sector in general.”

Over the period 2018-22, IBIA reported 1,224 alerts across 21 sports and 102 countries. This involved 559 alerts in tennis and 295 in football during that five-year period and which accounted for 70% of all cases. The generation of these alerts involved important customer account transactional data which is only available via IBIA and its members, and which is often the initiator of investigative action by sport bodies, regulators and law enforcement, and is the cornerstone of subsequent sanctions.

Inspired Entertainment, Inc., a leading B2B provider of gaming content, systems, and solutions, is excited to announce the launch of Centurion Big Money™ – the latest addition to the successful Centurion™ franchise. Now available in the UK B3, LBO market, this new release builds on the franchise’s popularity by introducing Inspired’s renowned Big Money mechanic.

Centurion Big Money™ brings the beloved Centurion character back to the reels in an action-packed slot adventure packed with thrilling features, including the Big Money Bonus, reel bonuses, Fortune Spins and two gamble options.

Landing three or more bonus symbols anywhere on the reels triggers one of three Big Money Bonuses, starting with a multiplier of up to 3x. A progressive trail above the reels features multipliers up to 10x. Centurion symbols act as cash collectors, accumulating coin values for each Centurion symbol that lands.

Bush symbols drive progression along the multiplier trail. Each Bush or Centurion symbol advances one position. Players enjoy unlimited Free Spins until Centurion is caught by the bush. Once caught, players enter the familiar pick me feature choosing from three bushes to reveal one of the following outcomes:

  • Bonus Over: The bonus ends, and accumulated winnings are awarded.
  • Bush Back: The bush is pushed back two positions, and the bonus continues.
  • March On: The Centurion advances to the next multiplier on the trail, and the bonus continues.

Adding to the excitement are reel bonuses, triggered when Centurion lands:

  • Super Bonus Reels: Adds extra bonus symbols, increasing the chance of triggering the bonus.
  • 5 of a Kind: Centurion appears with three shields to pick from, guaranteeing at least one 5 of a kind win; each shield contains a multiplier.
  • Big Win: Centurion announces a win of at least 20x the current stake.

Players can take a chance with two gamble options, offering the opportunity to upgrade their winnings or trigger a Big Money Bonus. In the wheel gamble, the left wheel offers multipliers of up to 10x and the right wheel allows players to gamble for the Big Money, Super Big Money or Mega Big Money Bonus.

Any feature wins from the Big Money Bonus below £500 may trigger the clock gamble. Players can gamble all or part of their original winnings for a chance to increase winnings by 1.5x, 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x, unless the potential win will go over £500.

Centurion Big Money™ also features a Fortune Spins mode, activated via the feature button. Fortune Spins reels contain only Centurion, coin, and bonus symbols, increasing the chances of triggering a bonus. When a bonus is activated, all symbols return to the reels and every Centurion appearing during Fortune Spins awards the cash values from all coin symbols in view.

Matthew Crane, UK Market Product Director, said: “We’re pleased to announce the launch of Centurion Big Money™, the latest addition to our B3 lineup. This new game brings together one of our most recognisable and successful brands with a well-known, player-favourite bonus mechanic – offering a fresh twist on a proven performer. With the classic Centurion appeal and the added excitement of the Big Money bonus, it’s designed to stand out and keep players engaged.”

Centurion Big Money™ is available in retail now.
