Global Lottery Monitoring System (GLMS) has published its Q1 2021 report, identifying Europe as the continent most responsible for suspicious betting alerts.

Overall, 323 alerts were recorded during the first quarter of 2021, with Europe the only continent demonstrating triple figures, accounting for 160 suspicious betting activity warnings.

Asia followed with 66, with South America close behind at 58, whilst North America, Africa and Oceania generated 14, eight and seven warnings respectively. A further 10 alerts were classified as “international”.

Of the 160 European alerts, football was the sport with the most suspicious wagers, reporting a total of 94 warnings, whilst basketball accounted for 30. Ice hockey, esports, tennis and volleyball and handball also witnessed suspicious betting activity.

In contrast, esports saw extensive illicit betting in Asia, with 24 alerts generated for this sector – the same number of warnings generated by football across the continent, whilst basketball also reported the second-highest activity levels at 17.

The statistics demonstrate a noticeable difference from those uncovered by the International Betting Integrity Association’s (IBIA) 2020 report, largely due to the significance of tennis in the latter’s findings.

Of the 270 cases reported by the IBIA – a 48% increase on the 2019 figure – tennis accounted for 98 alerts, with 39 handled by the International Tennis Integrity Association (ITIA).

In total, football dominated the total number of alerts sent to GLMS members at 196 in Q1 2021, followed by basketball at 56, esports at 40 and ice hockey at 15, whilst volleyball and handball generated only one each.

“As sports events globally are starting up again, as seen with March Madness in the US, we believe our lottery sports customers are going to have a great 2021,” Jennifer Welshons, Senior Vice President of Marketing of GLMS member organisation Scientific Games, said.

“We are already experiencing record weeks in Delaware in the US and in Turkey, and we are thrilled to support this with one of the most advanced sports betting platforms in the industry.

“We believe that modernization is the clear path to protecting lottery funding for the vital programs and good causes they support.”

Additionally, the organisation outlined that 188 of the 323 alerts were classified as “green alerts”, relating to factors such as team-related news, wrong starting prices, member information and situations in which a one person or entity owned a sports club and its sponsor.

A further 67 yellow alerts were reported, generated by unexplainable odds changes, tournament structure and rumours of match fixing from news outlets, betting forums and social media.

Finally, of the 323 alerts, 13 were red alerts – warnings supported by rumours of match fixing from a named source as well as unexplainable odds changes, betfair volume and tournament structure.

“The past year has presented exceptional challenges which have had a profound impact across the industry,” Edward Peace, Managing Director of Sporting Solutions, said.

“Our response has been guided by a commitment to do the right thing for our people and partners, reflecting a set of company values that long pre-dates the COVID-19 pandemic.“

“We worked hard on event and competition integrity, both internally and with external providers, to ensure new content that filled the COVID-19 void was is in line with our high standards.”

Scaling In-App Traffic in iGaming: A Performance-Driven Approach

Published

on

scaling-in-app-traffic-in-igaming:-a-performance-driven-approach

Traffy, a performance marketing agency specializing in in-app traffic, has seen a clear shift in how iGaming campaigns scale today.

The era of “launch and forget” in iGaming is over. The market has become more competitive, and users are more demanding than ever. Scaling campaigns is no longer just about volume — success now depends on the depth of analytics, the speed of response to user behavior, and traffic quality.

Market Transformation

In the past, scaling followed a simple logic: more traffic meant more conversions. Today, that approach no longer works. Users have become more selective, and both CPA and ROI are directly tied to post-deposit behavior.

If advertisers fail to track key performance indicators within the first 72 hours — including user activity, repeat deposits, and conversion to FTD — budgets are spent without control, and scaling turns into guesswork.

New Requirements for Scaling

Scaling campaigns today requires a much more structured approach:

  • Funnel analysis within the first 72 hours to quickly identify effective setups
  • Traffic segmentation and strict quality control
  • Continuous monitoring of user activity, repeat deposits, and FTD conversion rates

If there is no positive performance trend within the first three days, the setup is stopped immediately. This allows teams to minimize losses and reallocate budgets toward high-performing campaigns.

Common Pitfalls of Legacy Approaches

Many operators and affiliates still rely on outdated strategies that limit their ability to scale effectively:

  • Focusing solely on CPA without considering unit economics and profitability
  • Scaling broadly without proper traffic segmentation
  • Lack of predictive analytics in the early stages of campaigns
  • Underestimating traffic quality and fraud risks

These issues lead to unstable performance, rising CPI, and a loss of control over ROI.

The Traffy Approach

At Traffy, we build scalable infrastructure designed to manage in-app traffic with a performance-first mindset.

  • Traffic quality control: black and white lists, ongoing audits, and integrated fraud analytics
  • AI-driven optimization: algorithms that predict campaign performance and dynamically reallocate budgets toward the most efficient setups
  • Performance focus: real-time analysis of the first 72 hours, deep segmentation, and continuous monitoring of key metrics and ROI

This approach allows us to scale only the traffic that is proven to be profitable, reducing risks and improving predictability at scale.

Conclusion

A performance-driven approach has become essential for scaling In-App campaigns in iGaming. The key to success lies in deep analytics, traffic segmentation, predictive modeling, and strict control within the first 72 hours.

The market has changed — and those who succeed are not the ones who scale volume, but those who scale quality traffic.

At Traffy, this approach is at the core of how we build and scale campaigns, ensuring sustainable growth and measurable performance for our partners.
