64 betting integrity alerts reported by IBIA in Q1 2021
The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) reported 64 cases of suspicious betting to the relevant authorities during the first quarter (Q1) of 2021. The Q1 total is broadly similar to the 68 cases reported in Q4 2020 and the 61 alerts reported in Q1 2020. Tennis (18), eSports (17) and football (12) made up nearly 75% of all alerts reported during the quarter, with the remainder covering table tennis (7), basketball (5), volleyball (4) and horse racing (1). From a geographical perspective, Europe and Asia accounted for two-thirds (66%) of alerts.
Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said: “After a difficult 2020, many operators appear to be close to normality in terms of their pre-pandemic market offering. This is reflected in the alert numbers and geographical spread for Q1, with a refocus on those sports that have traditionally and numerically dominated the betting offer globally, namely tennis and football. The association and its members continue to work closely with those sports, and indeed all sports that wish to engage with us, to identify potential corruption and to seek robust sanctions to punish and deter such illicit activity.”
Other key data for Q1 2021:
- 7 – alerts in Q1 covered seven different sports
- 16 – a quarter of all alerts came from Russia (10) and Bulgaria (6)
- 18 – alerts on tennis
- 20 – different countries where alerts were reported
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.

Vegangster Powers Reels Points, the New Coin-Based Loyalty System on Reels.io
Reels.io has added Reels Points, a new loyalty layer powered by Vegangster. Players earn coins by playing casino games or placing bets. Coins can be tracked in the player profile and redeemed in the Vegangster-powered Lootbox Shop.
Two bigger steps are next. The first is on-platform: coins will soon be spendable across a selection of games as in-play credit, opening up a second use case beyond the Lootbox Shop. The second is on-chain. Reels.io is heading toward a $REELS Token Generation Event, at which point accumulated Reels Points will convert into Reels Tokens, a publicly traded cryptocurrency.
That turns the loyalty layer into a stake in the brand itself, and gives players a real choice along the way: spend coins now on lootboxes and in-game perks, or stack them for the token conversion later.
The system is 100% Vegangster-developed and currently available only on Reels.io. It will roll out to select partners first, then be offered to all Vegangster clients, with the crypto layer as an optional component depending on each operator’s market.
Michael Oziransky, Chief Product Officer at Vegangster, commented: “Reels.io is the kind of brand that pushes a system to its limits, which is exactly why we wanted them as the first deployment. They are running the points layer and the Lootbox Shop now, with in-game spending and a token conversion already mapped out. What works for them sets the bar for the version we roll out across the rest of our network.”
The Reels.io launch is the first deployment of what Vegangster sees as a long-term loyalty product. With the points layer live, the Lootbox Shop active, and a clear path toward in-game spending and token conversion, the system is built to grow with the brands running it.

N1 SEO Traffic Cup: final results coming soon
N1 SEO Traffic Cup — the first tournament in the N1 Traffic Cups series is coming to an end, with April 30 as the final day of the promo. Over the 2 months, around 300 teams joined the promo, driving SEO traffic to N1 Partners’ casino and betting brands.
Participants competed not only on volume, but also on efficiency, strategic thinking, and scaling. The more brands a partner drove traffic to, the higher their coefficient for score calculation was. The final results depend entirely on each team’s own performance — that makes the tournament fair and engaging.
The winners will be announced by May 10. In this article, you’ll find out which brands delivered the strongest results in the N1 SEO Traffic Cup, along with key trends in working with this traffic source.
N1 SEO Traffic Cup: Wrap-Up
The N1 Partners expert team answered the hottest questions about the tournament wrap-up — insights that can be valuable for partners who keep running SEO traffic to N1 brands.
1. Which brands showed the best performance during the tournament?
Several brands clearly stood out:
- HollyWin
- Slot Mafia
- Lucky Hunter
- RollXO
- Slot Lounge
2. What do the tournament results say about the current state of SEO traffic in iGaming?
The key takeaway: SEO remains one of the core channels in iGaming. However, it’s evolving and adapting in response to Google updates. This is no longer about writing articles and getting traffic — it’s about systematic unit economics management.
An interesting point — the tournament mechanics focused not on volume, but on efficiency (FTD + coefficients). This clearly shows that iGaming SEO is shifting from mass traffic to controlled performance.
It’s also worth noting that the rule “There are no fixed winners — KPI execution matters more than leaderboard position” gave every participant a real shot at top prizes, while competitors’ results served as additional motivation for growth.
3. What key trends did you observe among top participants?
Several major trends stood out:
- Multi-brand strategy = a must-have
Top performers don’t rely on a single offer — they build strategies around a portfolio of brands. This proves that SEO is moving closer to media buying. - Aggregators, comparison pages, and multi-intent pages are effective
Among the top-performing approaches: offerwall pages, cross-brand strategies, and parasite SEO.
Stay tuned for updates on the N1 SEO Traffic Cup from N1 Partners to find out who landed in the prize tiers and what rewards the top teams received — final results will be announced separately by May 10.
And this isn’t the end — a new tournament from the N1 Traffic Cups series will start very soon. Follow the announcements not to miss your chance and jump back into the competition, sharpen your skills, as well as compete for even bigger prizes.

- 14+ casino and sportsbook brands with high Reg2Dep
- 10+ Tier-1 GEOs
- CPA up to €700 and RevShare up to 55% + NNCO for top partners
