U.S. INTEGRITY AND ODDS ON COMPLIANCE TO MERGE TO CREATE A GLOBAL POWERHOUSE IN SPORTS BETTING AND GAMBLING COMPLIANCE AND INTEGRITY
Two of the most respected names in the sports betting and gambling compliance industry – U.S. Integrity and Odds On Compliance – are pleased to announce their merger to form the industry’s first global compliance and integrity solution.
U.S. Integrity is a technology-driven sports wagering monitoring company, providing the highest level of protection against betting-related fraud and corruption. Odds On Compliance is an industry-leading technology and consultancy firm specializing in sports betting, iGaming, and gambling regulatory compliance across North America, Europe, and Latin America. This strategic merger will create a powerhouse of expertise, innovation, and comprehensive solutions for betting operators and professional and collegiate sports organizations in the ever-evolving world of sports betting and gambling compliance.
“We are thrilled to unite the strengths of U.S. Integrity and Odds On Compliance to create a firm that is poised to redefine the standards of excellence in the sports betting and gambling compliance industry,” said Matt Holt, CEO of U.S. Integrity, to be appointed as CEO of the combined company.
The two companies teamed up earlier this year in a joint venture to build ProhiBet, the industry’s first and only prohibited bettor solution providing a secure and transparent method for sports properties, both professional and collegiate, as well as sportsbook operators, to ensure that athletes, coaches, and league/school administrative staff remain compliant with the intricate web of state regulations that govern sports betting activities. ProhiBet has gained incredible momentum following its launch on September 1st with the signing of a number of sports properties and operators, including the BIG12, UFC, AAC, and Hard Rock Digital, among dozens of others.
“This merger is a testament to our joint commitment to helping the industry navigate the complexities of this rapidly growing and highly regulated sector. This fusion of strengths will enable us to offer a comprehensive suite of compliance and integrity technology products and services,” said Eric Frank, CEO of Odds On Compliance, to be appointed as President of the combined company.
Clients of the combined company can expect to benefit from a wider geographic reach, continued innovation, and an even greater commitment to delivering tailored solutions that drive success and sustainability. Following the merger, which is expected to close later this month, subject to certain shareholder and regulatory approvals as well as customary closing conditions, the combined company will be committed to upholding the same high standards of service, professionalism, and integrity that both firms have been known for.

DrawHouse, a new B2B prize draw platform built by the team behind Network Gaming, has launched in the UK, targeting betting operators, media companies and digital platforms looking to add prize draw products.
The company said its platform is “fully managed” and includes compliance, KYC, payments, draw operations and prize fulfilment, designed to let partners launch “in weeks” without the operational and regulatory complexity that has limited wider adoption of prize draw competitions.
Harry Collins, CEO and Founder of DrawHouse, said: “Prize draws are already a large and growing market, but they’ve largely developed outside of traditional operator ecosystems. This isn’t about creating new demand – it’s about capturing revenue that’s already happening elsewhere.” The company cited UK market figures of more than £1.3bn in annual revenue and more than 7 million active players.
DrawHouse also highlighted a “networked liquidity model” that pools prize inventory across partners to offer larger prizes at launch. “Prize draws are a scale game – bigger prizes drive better outcomes,” Collins said. “By connecting partners through a shared network, we’re able to deliver that scale.”
The launch includes the appointment of Jamie Pinner as Chief Commercial Officer. Pinner said: “There’s a clear opportunity for operators to diversify revenue and reach complementary audiences through prize draws. What DrawHouse does well is remove the operational barriers and make the product easy to launch and scale.” DrawHouse said it has secured its first partner and is in discussions with additional operators in the UK and internationally.
