The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) called on all parties engaged in the supply chain of sports event data that facilitates betting markets, to come together to adhere to a global best practice model.

As an Affiliate Member of the IBIA and a trusted supplier of data to the sports and betting industries, Stats Perform, the revolutionary leader in sports AI and data, has consistently advocated for best practice standards when it comes to the event data that drives betting markets. The need for global standards in event data is something we have been discussing with the IBIA for some time now, and we fully support and commend them and its members for leading the call in this area. We will work with them on establishing a global best practice model for sports event data.

Risk management and the protection of data quality and integrity are of paramount importance to Stats Perform and these areas are the subject of continual heavy investment. This is reflected in the company’s betting data services being widely acknowledged as the premium product in the marketplace. Whilst investment in quality and integrity to this extent also results in the product carrying a premium price point, Stats Performs clients and partners appreciate the trust they can attribute to our data given the common interest in the integrity of sport.

Andrew Ashenden, Chief Betting Officer, commented: “As a truly global sports entity, with considerable business across the media and professional sports sectors as well as betting, trust in sport is paramount to us, as well as being vital for all our customers and the sports industry itself. Over many years we have invested in an unparalleled integrity and quality control infrastructure and that investment continues to be at the heart of our operations. Data integrity issues wherever they originate are harmful for the industry and we are looking forward to contributing our expertise via the IBIA and its members on the development of global best practice. We have always maintained that collaboration in this space across sporting federations, governing bodies, third party integrity providers, regulators, operators and data suppliers is vital.”

Jake Marsh, Head of Integrity, stated: “At Stats Perform, we have the strongest quality assurance and integrity processes in place across the whole data supply chain and have a long-standing collaborative approach with the sport and betting industry, which is reflected by our many partnerships, including our affiliate membership of the IBIA. We look forward to working with all their members and other stakeholders on best practices in order to help protect the integrity of sport and betting.”

Tonybet says a player in Laurier-Station, Canada has claimed the “golden card” prize worth $20,000 CAD in the operator’s World Cup Card Collection. The announcement was made Tuesday 21st July 2026.

The World Cup collection featured 51 cards in total, including 48 digital cards representing participating World Cup nations, plus three unique prize cards in bronze, silver and gold. Tonybet said the bronze card—available during the group stage—was previously found by a customer in Saint-Colomban, Canada, while the silver card—available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals—was won by a player in County Kildare, Ireland.

The golden card became available for the semi-final, third-place play-off and final, and has now been claimed, Tonybet said.

Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “You can plan a campaign down to the last detail, but you can’t plan what the World Cup brings.

“We designed the collection to evolve with the tournament, and every knockout round created new stories we couldn’t have predicted. Seeing players complete their collections and discovering who would uncover each prize was the most rewarding part of the campaign.

“I hope everyone enjoyed the experience for what it was meant to be: a fun addition to the tournament, played responsibly and always within their limits.”

Tonybet said the collection will remain open until 31 July for players who are still completing sets and spending coins, although all grand prizes have been awarded.
