FIA and Sportradar Launch RaceAgaintManipulation Campaign

The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) and Sportradar launched a new initiative to tackle fixing and manipulation in motorsport events.
The RaceAgainstManipulation campaign will target drivers competing in both national and international competitions as well as team personnel, officials, volunteers, event organisers and FIA staff and consultants.
Jean Todt, President of FIA, said: “Safeguarding the integrity of motor sport worldwide is of paramount importance. No reports of betting manipulation in motor sport have been received to date but we must be vigilant.
“And the best way to achieve this is through education. RaceAgainstManipulation will help stakeholders to recognise potential threats, assist them in the reporting of misconduct. It is an essential tool in the fight to maintain sporting integrity and I advise everyone involved in our sport to use it.”
Additionally, the FIA also aims to reach out to the wider motorsport community outside of the FIA, including national sporting organisations, staff and consultants, media and fans of the sport.
The partners’ efforts include the launch of an e-learning platform, consisting of a 30-minute tutorial, first provided to Formula One drivers on Friday 27 August at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium.
Content covered by the tutorial includes the identification of the behaviour of competition fixtures and information concerning obligations and the duty to report, as well as details regarding the consequences which can arise as a result of regulations breaches. Upon completing the tutorial, each participant receives an FIA certificate.
FIA Secretary-General for Sport Peter Bayer said: “This user-friendly platform is a milestone for the FIA and the motor sports world as it will help raise awareness of the specific contents of the International Sporting Code on this topic and in particular what competition manipulation means in an informative and entertaining approach.
“I thank Pierre Ketterer, Head of the FIA Governance, Integrity & Regulatory Affairs Department and the FIA team for their proactive process to this important matter.”
Andreas Krannich, Managing Director Integrity Services at Sportradar, said: “Manipulation and fixing is a serious threat to sport worldwide and it’s important that all those actively participating in competitive sports competitions, be they competitors, officials or other stakeholders, have the necessary tools to identify risks and how to go about reporting them through the appropriate channels.
“RaceAgainstManipulation is a great initiative with a clear purpose and we commend the FIA for the steps they’re taking to educate their drivers and other stakeholders, and maintain the integrity of their sport.”

Vixio Launches Vixio Workspace: A Transformative Regulatory Management Tool

New Tool Turns Vixio’s Regulatory Intelligence Into Auditable, Actionable Steps
Vixio, a leading provider of regulatory intelligence solutions, is excited to announce the launch of Vixio Workspace, a new regulatory management tool designed by compliance professionals, for compliance professionals. Vixio Workspace introduces a new intuitive workflow capability into Vixio’s regulatory intelligence platform, helping to transform Vixio’s world-class regulatory intelligence into actionable steps.
Compliance teams currently face multiple challenges when managing actions from regulatory change. Hours are spent juggling multiple disparate systems, from spreadsheets to emails and project management tools. This can cause errors and team misalignment between already siloed departments, meaning teams may miss actions or critical regulatory updates.
The average compliance professional spends 70% of their time, and in some sectors up to 95% of their time, on reactionary administrative tasks rather than strategic guidance. Furthermore, with 85% of compliance leaders reporting that compliance requirements have become more complex in the past three years, and 77% reporting that compliance complexity has negatively affected company growth drivers, now, more than ever, compliance teams need a solution to bring calm to the chaos of compliance complexity.
Vixio Workspace aims to address the challenges faced by compliance teams by fusing regulatory intelligence and workflow capability together, which means teams will never miss action items from critical regulatory updates.
“After two decades of providing comprehensive regulatory intelligence, we’re excited to add to Vixio’s core offering by turning that intelligence into action,” Mike Woolfrey, CEO of Vixio, said, “We’ve spent hours listening to our customers’ compliance challenges and designed Vixio Workspace so that users can see global regulatory updates, track their progress to implementation, and document everything for easier attestation, rather than using siloed systems that can slow that process down. With Vixio Workspace, complexity in compliance doesn’t have to mean complicated.”
Vixio Workspace’s streamlined platform combines regulatory intelligence with task management, eliminating the need for cumbersome copy/paste processes and tracking with spreadsheets. Furthermore, unlike other compliance SaaS software, Vixio Workspace doesn’t require any IT integration, allowing instantaneous adoption.
This new feature is available now and enhances Vixio’s existing RegTech platform, which provides essential regulatory intelligence to navigate the complex regulatory landscape.
Key features of Vixio Workspace include:
- World-class regulatory intelligence: Regulatory intelligence with unparalleled precision – precision is achieved through AI capability and a global team of expert regulatory analysts
- Checklists: Use checklists, integrated with precision-driven regulatory intelligence, as a single source of truth to action and track compliance initiatives
- Real-time dashboard: A single panoramic view of everything in one place, and real-time status of tasks and projects
- Task management: Create and allocate tasks in seconds with the ability to manage compliance team priorities
- Real-time data: This can be used for risk/compliance committees and meetings
- Attestation: A single repository to capture attestation across the business for multiple compliance use cases
- Chat function: Speeds up communication within compliance teams and the wider business
- User management: Role-based user management and permissions for security and audibility
- Audit trail: A digital audit trail which tracks discussions between collaborators and minimises the need for confusing email trails
- Easy file uploads: Use for evidence submission and Vixio Workspace as a single repository for supporting documents
Vixio will host an official launch event for Vixio Workspace at The Haymarket Hotel in London on April 29th at 3 PM, where attendees will be among the first to see the tool in action.
Today’s launch underscores Vixio’s commitment to collaborating with clients to implement innovative solutions that address pressing compliance challenges.

Association of Gaming Operators in Kenya Announces New Regulations

The Association of Gaming Operators in Kenya (AGOK) in partnership with government agencies, regulators and civil society are spearheading a set of proactive initiatives designed to shape the future of the gaming industry and protect innocent Kenyans from addiction to gaming.
In a press release, the Association says nationwide awareness campaigns promoting informed, mindful participation in gaming will be carried out across the country.
Advocacy for tools such as time-out mechanisms, betting and deposit limits will be put in place to ensure a healthy and controlled gaming behaviour among Kenyans.
“The gaming industry in Kenya continues to evolve rapidly, creating opportunities for economic growth, digital innovation, and employment. However, with this growth comes a heightened responsibility to safeguard the welfare of players, particularly young people and vulnerable populations,” the statement by AGOK’s board reads in part.
“AGOK acknowledges the complex challenges associated with gaming, particularly around mental health, addiction prevention, and ethical standards. These are global concerns which members of AGOK take seriously. They are at the forefront of our agenda.”
The Association furthers contends that all its members operate under a “shared code of conduct” rooted in principles of fairness, transparency and social responsibility.
Among meaningful steps it says it has taken to prevent exploitation and minimise harm include putting into place advanced age-verification systems to block underage access, self exclusion tools that provide options for and permanent restrictions to gaming activities and round-the clock toll free helplines that offer confidential mental health and addiction support.
The regulatory measures comes amid calls to regulate the sector following increase in cases of mental health and some suicide cases attributed to betting.
