63 suspicious betting alerts reported by IBIA in Q1 2025
The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) reported 63 alerts of suspicious betting to the relevant authorities in the first quarter (Q1) of 2025. The Q1 2025 total is 3% less than the 65 alerts in Q4 2024, and 11% more when compared to the revised Q1 2024 total of 57 alerts. IBIA monitors over $300bn per annum in betting turnover (handle) across more than 80 members with over 140 sports betting brands globally.
The 63 incidents of suspicious betting in Q1 2025 concerned six sports, across 23 countries and 5 continents. Other key data for Q1 2025 includes:
- Football and tennis accounted for 40 of the Q1 2025 alerts (64%), a 14% increase from 35 alerts in Q4 2024.
- Sporting events in Europe and North America, with 32 alerts combined, made up 51% of the total reported; that was a decrease of 29% compared to 45 alerts in Q4 2024.
- Table tennis saw a notably reduction in alerts from 21 reported in Q4 2024 to 9 reported in Q1 2025, representing a 53% quarter-on-quarter fall.
Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said: “The first quarter of 2025 was relatively consistent with the previous quarter and the comparable period last year. Football and tennis remain the most reported sports, albeit their combined Q1 2025 number was down 14% on Q4 2024. This quarter-on-quarter reduction was primarily due to a fall in tennis alerts, which have shown a welcome reduction in recent years. The Q4 2024 increase in table tennis alerts has not continued into Q1 2025 and has fallen back to previous levels. IBIA has taken increased precautions regarding this sport and agreed a number of new integrity partnerships and protocols in Q1 with the aim of detecting and sanctioning corrupt betting activity.”
IBIA is a leading not-for-profit dedicated to protecting the integrity of regulated sports betting markets worldwide. Its global monitoring network serves as a powerful anti-corruption tool, identifying and reporting suspicious betting activity. In late 2024, IBIA further strengthened its capabilities with a major technological upgrade, significantly enhancing its ability to detect and respond to potential match-fixing across its members’ markets.

Leading content provider, TaDa Gaming, is giving players another chance to hit the big time with 3 Coin Treasures 2, a three reels, five rows slot with 243 ways to win.
Part of the TriLuck™ series and a sequel to hit release 3 Coin Treasure, this new release delivers colourful coins and three separate colour coin Scatters to trigger the three different bonus games. Add in the Firecracker Wilds, the Golden Auspicious Coin, Double Reel multiplier, fixed multiplier jackpots and a Lock & Respin feature and it’s easy to see why players are going coin crazy.
When any colour coin Scatter appears on the reels, it can trigger one of the free games .Blue will trigger the Tiger, purple is for the Dragon and green, the Koi free games. Two scatters will trigger two games and when all three coin Scatters appear on the reels, then all three games can trigger simultaneously for some seriously lucky big wins.
At the beginning of each bonus game round, players will receive five bonus gold jackpot coins on the reels. Each free game grants three free spins. The Lock & Respin feature will kick in when extra gold coins or any of the Scatters appear, constantly resetting the free spin counter to three until no more winning combinations are achieved.
Land a purple coin during a free game and unlock the Double Reel Multiplier which is a new addition. If any other purple coins land on the reels, a new grid with another five gold coins will open and a 2x multiplier gets applied to each colourful coin wins.
When the green Koi Scatter coin appears in the bonus games, it acts as an accumulator and collects all the wins from the colourful coins. Gold, blue and purple coins also offer bonus multipliers.
Gold and purple include 0.1x, 0.2x, 0.5x, 0.8x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, and 3x of the total bet; while blue gives a Mini bonus from 3x-8x; Minor will award 12.5x-30x; and Major will see a generous 100x multiplier.
During these rounds, only gold jackpot coins, colourful coins and the three Scatters will play out on the reels ,giving extra win potential and big bonuses including one of the four fixed multiplier jackpots which are dynamically based on the triggering bet.
Mini is worth 5x, with Minor rising to 10x. Major will award 50x and with the Grand Jackpot worth 5,000x, 3 Coins Treasure 2 is definitely a well-named game.
Sean Liu, Director of Product Management, TaDa Gaming, said: ‘The TriLuck™ games are designed to offer a mix of easy to play slots with interacting features and mechanics offering very big win potential. 3 Coins Treasure 2 delivers this in a superbly designed sequel with added gamification.’
