Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

GLMS has published its first in-depth study, ‘ A STUDY OF BETTING OPERATORS AND THEIR SPONSORSHIP OF SPORT‘, exploring the impact of betting operators in their sponsorship of sports competitions and teams.

The study is based on GLMS methodology and includes recommendations for ensuring that betting sponsorship has only a positive impact on the health of sports.

A call to action
GLMS issues this study as a call to action in the face of a systemic global problem that, if allowed to continue, will be to the detriment of global society. The vision and mission of GLMS has been since 2017 to safeguard sport Integrity by developing a culture of Integrity and Social Responsibility through various activities in addition to detecting suspicious betting patterns. This includes advising regulators as to what provisions need to be introduced when it comes to legalising sports betting and protecting sports values and sustainable market conditions.

An in-depth look at the Asian betting market, betting operator sponsorships in sports and trends
The study is based on a specific methodology and addresses trends in betting sponsorships, notably within football and basketball, toucing on other sports as well. A special focus is placed on the Asian Betting Market, its background, growth and the potential risks and threats.
The study takes into account the COVID-19 pandemic, which only highlights the need for more stringent regulation, ensuring that betting sponsorship remain only a positive impact on sports.

The study also looks at facts and figures in a number of countries in Europe, where betting sponsorship is particularly commonplace.

Regulations and recommendations
The study explores in a snapshot the existing regulations and legislations addressing betting sponsorship of sports, including the recently published UK House of Lords ‘Time to Act to reduce gambling-related harm’, as an illstration of the increasing focus being placed on this issue.

The study ends with a number of recommendations facilitating the safe practice of betting sponsorship of sports. While this study focuses on the impact of sponsorship and makes recommendations for regulating that element, it is also clear that the gaming industry as a whole is one that merits wider scrutiny from governments, investigative authorities, internet service providers, technology firms and many others besides. Today, some operators are able to layer their business interests to avoid infringement while simultaneously seeking to attract betting losses from some of the poorest people in the world. In the future, it is hoped that more efforts can be made across the breadth of society to curb these activities. Read the full report here.

In partnership with globally renowned online gambling operator bet365, leading B2B games provider Incentive Games has developed a new game ahead of the upcoming European football season.

Launching ahead of Matchday One on 16th September, Tournament Challenge is the latest addition to bet365’s popular portfolio of free-to-play titles, crafted by the team at Incentive Games. Designed to be accessible and competitive, the game captures the thrill of tournament football and keeps fans coming back throughout the league.

The Tournament Challenge puts players right at the heart of the action. Before each match, fans must predict the outcome (win, lose or draw) of selected matches and users can edit their predictions at any time for matches that haven’t yet kicked off.

Each correct pick earns players points based on a 10-point stake multiplied by the odds of the selected outcome. For example, if the odds are 2.50 on the customer’s pick, they will receive 25 points. If the odds are 2.90 they will receive 29 points. Or if they are 3.70 they will receive 37 points etc.

The more games users get right, the higher they climb on the weekly matchday leader board and the overall season long leader board. There are prizes for ten individual game weeks with players competing for a matchday jackpot of ÂŁ20,000 and a massive ÂŁ50,000 overall grand prize.

John Gordon, CEO at Incentive Games said, “Tournament football always delivers unforgettable moments, and we wanted to create a game that captures that same energy. We’re proud to be working alongside the brilliant bet365 team again to make that happen. Tournament Challenge is designed to give football fans a new way to test their knowledge and feel even closer to the action, with simple, intuitive gameplay that makes every match even more exciting.”

The launch of Tournament Challenge marks another step forward in the partnership between Incentive Games and bet365, showcasing how data-driven design and tailored gameplay can bring fans closer to the sport they love.

A bet365 spokesperson said: “With the return of the biggest and best matches in European club football, we’re delighted to provide our customers with an innovative free-to-play predictor game.
