The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) reported 270 cases of suspicious betting to the relevant authorities during 2020, with 68 of those cases reported in the final quarter (Q4). The 2020 total is a 48% increase in alerts compared to the 183 cases reported in 2019, with table tennis and eSports accounting for much of that. Tennis (98) and football (61) saw the largest number of alerts with 59% of the total, albeit a fall from 82% in 2019.

Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said: “2020 was a turbulent year for many sectors including the betting industry, which had to adjust its market offering due to the global sports lockdown. As a result, IBIA focused its integrity monitoring activity to take account of new sports tournaments and competitions that emerged.” He added: “The association is seeking to work with stakeholders to address any potential integrity issues that may be associated with these new events through a range of actions, including promoting a set of standards for the collation of sports data for betting. Whilst there was an increase in overall alerts from 2019 to 2020, it should be noted that the 2020 cases are consistent with the number of alerts reported in both 2017 and 2018.”

Other key data for 2020:

  • 12 – criminal or sporting sanctions on players/teams based on IBIA data
  • 15 – sports on which alerts where reported
  • 25 – percentage increase in football alerts
  • 43 – countries where alerts on sporting events were reported

During the four-year period 2017-2020, IBIA reported 986 alerts across 17 sports and 95 countries, with our unique customer account data leading to numerous sanctions being imposed.

The International Betting Integrity Association is the leading global voice on integrity for the licensed betting industry. It is run by operators for operators, protecting its members from corruption through collective action. Its monitoring and alert platform is a highly effective anti-corruption tool that detects and reports suspicious activity on its members’ betting markets. The association has longstanding information sharing partnerships with leading sports and gambling regulators to utilise its data and prosecute corruption. It represents the sector at high-level policy discussion forums such as the IOC, UN, Council of Europe and European Commission.

TaDa Gaming Releases Lucky Macaw

Reading Time: 2 minutes

TaDa Gaming, is hoisting the Jolly Roger for a barrel full of gold in new release Lucky Macaw. An unusual grid layout sees three reels and three rows, with the centre reel holding an extra position/fourth row, plus 10 fixed paylines.

Set in Pirate Cove with the galleon anchored offshore, Captain Macaw is ready to parley with players for pirate coins and bags of gold cash symbols.

His offer is for Hold & Respin, free spins, multiplier Wilds and four fixed Jackpot prizes of Mini (10x), Minor (25x). Major (100x) and Grand 1000x for six, 10, 14 and 18 cash symbols respectively. Win values are dynamically dependent on the wager and are shown on the wooden signpost to the left of the grid.

Highly colourful and polished graphics include the compass, telescope and anchor symbols. Pirate Coins and Gold Bags are cash symbols.

Just one cash symbol may trigger Hold & Respin randomly but landing five or more in the base game will guarantee the bonus. A toe tapping soundtrack adds to the jolly pirate vibe, while a barrel of gold coins fills with every spin. If it randomly bursts its sides, the bonus Hold & Respin game can also trigger.

All cash symbols on the reels will carry over to the bonus game however it triggers and three free spins will be awarded. Each time another cash symbol lands, the counter will reset the free spins to three.

Blank positions, Gold Bag and Pirate Coin cash symbols only will appear in the bonus game and symbols will lock in place with each spin. They can also increase in value after every spin and, if players fill the grid entirely, a random additional multiplier of 2x, 3x or 5x will be applied to the winnings.

Captain Macaw is also the Wild – but with the ability to randomly apply a 2x multiplier. When several Wilds land on the reels, their multipliers will be multiplied.

For players who want quick results, the Extra Bet feature will ensure that when Hold & Respin is triggered by the coin barrel, a minimum of one Gold Bag and one Multiplier Wild to 2x will appear.

With 5000x max win and low volatility, Lucky Macaw is designed for casual and time pressed players.

Sean Liu, Director of Product Management, TaDa Gaming, said: “Having established TaDa as the home of innovative mechanics and balanced maths models, Lucky Macaw raises the game for polished visuals and smooth animations, delivering true entertainment.”
