IBIA's CEO, Khalid Ali, reported that the 2020 period was difficult for betting operators, due to the cases that happened in the rest of the world, between difficulties and paralyzed events. Ali says that the IBIA is reorienting traditional sports, since operators are managing to return to activities in a normal way, offering greater market probabilities. The CEO's speech was as follows: "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."
 
In addition, Khalid also states that he continues to work in collaboration with other entities to identify corruption schemes in the sport, seeking to punish and prevent the use of these illegal activities: "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."
 
Data revealed by the company in this first quarter:
"7 - alerts in Q1 covered seven different sports;
16 - a quarter of all alerts came from Russia (10) and Bulgaria (6);
18 - alerts in the tennis modality;
20 - different countries have placed suspicious bets.
"
 
For the time being, more information is awaited, which will still be revealed by the IBIA itself on the measures taken by the competent authorities.
