IBIA doubles down on sports integrity with Athlete Education Ambassador role

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) today announced the appointment of Jean-François Reymond as their Education Ambassador for Athletes. The appointment highlights IBIA’s continued commitment to raising the standard of betting education in all sports globally, and especially in the new dynamic and rapidly growing North and South America markets. Jean-François Reymond will work closely with key stakeholders, notably player associations and IBIA partners, in a range of jurisdictions to establish and support betting education campaigns.

Reymond brings a wealth of knowledge and experience of working with sportspeople and the regulated betting sector in this area. A professional basketball player for more than 12 years, Reymond became Secretary General of EU Athletes in 2012 where he led two major European sports betting education projects[1]. He was a member of the French national platform against the manipulation of sports competitions from 2016-19 and until 2017 he was also vice-president of the World Player Association.

Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA stated: “Jean-François has been at the forefront of betting integrity education in Europe since its inception. He led the development of the key principles on sports betting for athletes and, as a former professional his understanding of the importance of establishing trust with, and direct access to, players has been instrumental in shaping the way in which betting education is approached. I’m delighted that we can draw on Jean-François’s unrivaled expertise, knowledge and connections to develop bespoke training programs for sports men and women to assist them in understanding the challenges and threats in this area.”

Speaking following his appointment, Jean-François Reymond said: “Protecting the integrity of sport means protecting the integrity of athletes. A lack of awareness of a growing number of differing regulatory models and sporting rules is creating an increasingly challenging environment for sportspeople. The knock-on impact on their professional careers, reputations and livelihoods can be severe, as we have unfortunately recently witnessed in the NFL. That is what motivates me, as an ex-professional myself, to get this important message across to all athletes. I am delighted to be working with the IBIA to support them in their mission to help promote and raise the standard of education and understanding around sports betting.”

IBIA is the leading global voice for the regulated betting industry on combating betting corruption to protect the integrity of sport. In February, as part of its international expansion, it announced the launch of its integrity monitoring service in the US and Canada. The association has also recently signed partnership working agreements with the Canadian Gaming Association (CGA) and the Colombian equivalent, the Federation of Entrepreneurs of Games of Luck and Chance (FECOLJUEGOS), to work on projects to protect the integrity of sport and regulated betting from corrupt activities in those markets.

FairPlay Sports Media, the fan and AI-powered global sports media network, has launched Teammate, the industry’s first sports AI assistant on its WhoScored.com brand.

Teammate translates natural-language commands from sports fans and bettors, powered by a Google Gemini partnership, and redirects them to relevant betting opportunities, forecasting insight, and sporting data, to help enhance the user experience of football stats enthusiasts, as well as help level the playing field against the sportsbook, using text and data visualisations as communication.

Utilising the FairPlay network’s 25+ years of sports data assets, and its recent integration of a cutting-edge deep-learning neural engine, Teammate is the most advanced, AI-powered and fan-first tool which will allow the increasingly stats-hungry sports audience to go deeper into the numbers to enhance both their pre-match and live engagement and betting decisions.

Google Gemini has led the AI assistant charge of recent years, mastering creative and productivity tools, advanced reasoning and complex tasks, and engaging content delivery, all powered by its various advanced LLMs. Using this sophisticated platform, Teammate will access the same, well-known UI, while adapting its design and responses for those related to sports data.

Teammate, live now in beta mode, will revolutionise how sports fans find information, whether they’re a die-hard fan, a fantasy strategist, or lining up a bet builder, with its front-end designed to fit seamlessly as a white label into partner apps and websites, increasing brand stickiness and offering monetisation opportunities for those hosting the sports lifestyle tool.

Stuart Simms, group CEO at FairPlay Sports Media, said: “AI has integrated rapidly into our day-to-day lives, but there’s not been a truly bespoke assistant service that suits the needs of sports bettors and data-hungry fans. Teammate, which combines our prowess in delivery of sporting insight, with Google Gemini’s ability to serve users with natural, conversational conveyance of information, offers just that.

“Whether you need betting inspiration, you’re looking to find the best value that backs up a gut betting pick or want to explore betting opportunities around a player’s recent run of form, Teammate will point you in the direction to find the best bets and the most relevant markets, alongside forecasted tips and associated statistics and data.”
