ODDSGATE BECOMES AN OFFICIAL MEMBER OF IBIA
Oddsgate is now part of the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA), one of the leading global organizations dedicated to integrity in sports betting.
The decision to join IBIA reflects a simple truth: in a sector shaped by speed and scale, the commitment to compliance, security, and ethical play keeps the foundation intact and the future open.
IBIA represents over 50 licensed operators, encompasses over 125 brands, and monitors over USD 300 billion in annual betting volume. Oddsgate underwent a rigorous audit process to join this trusted network, evaluating everything from governance practices to operational and technological integrity controls.
“Being part of IBIA is more than just a seal. It’s a natural extension of what we believe in and practice daily: responsibility, transparency, and consistency,” says Óscar Madureira, Chief Legal Officer at Oddsgate. “We always consider that our role as a B2B platform goes beyond technical support. We know that, directly or indirectly, we also contribute to the perception and development of the industry. That’s why we take an active stance in promoting good practices across all fronts.”
This achievement adds to a series of recent milestones for the company, like the recognition at the SiGMA Awards Americas 2025 for its work with Brazilian operators, earning two new ISO certifications, and strengthening its educational initiatives with internal teams and external partners.
Global Outlook: the impact of initiatives like IBIA
According to projections from IBIA itself, the regulated sports betting market was expected to reach USD 94 billion in global gross gaming revenue (GGR) in 2024, with 65% of that total (USD 61 billion) generated online. By 2028, estimates point to USD 132 billion in GGR, with over 70% (USD 93 billion) coming from digital channels.
Football remains the main driver of this growth, expected to account for 56% of global GGR in 2024, reaching USD 53 billion. Moreover, between 2017 and 2023, 99.96% of events monitored by IBIA showed no signs of manipulation, reinforcing the strength of its integrity monitoring system.
In Brazil, a key market for Oddsgate, onshore GGR is projected to reach USD 2.8 billion by 2028, as long as public policies do not restrict sector development. Otherwise, up to USD 18 billion annually may be diverted to offshore operators, undermining revenue and regulatory control.
Technology serving integrity
For Oddsgate, integrity starts with product architecture and extends across the user journey. The company’s commissioned study, Gate to 2050, had already anticipated this vision: the industry’s future will increasingly be shaped by technology applied to responsibility.
“As the sector grows, so does our responsibility to protect users, which requires ongoing action,” Óscar emphasizes. “We’re aware of the risks, but even more committed to the solutions. With technology, training, and international cooperation, we can make safe gaming the standard rather than the exception.”
The study points to the next generation of platforms equipped with real-time monitoring systems capable of identifying risky behavioral patterns, triggering automated interventions, and collaborating with mental health professionals. Technologies such as RegTech and blockchain are set to play a decisive role in compliance, simplifying audits and strengthening operational traceability.
Ongoing Commitment
By joining IBIA, Oddsgate steps into the frontlines of an industry in transformation. Where integrity is non-negotiable, technology drives accountability, and regulation isn’t a limit, but a launchpad.
As part of this effort, it offers in-depth content on integrity, compliance, and other key topics shaping the future of iGaming. Gate To 2050 is also an invitation to reflection and action for all who share the same commitment to transforming the market.
