Bodog88 signs up with FIFA Early Warning System
Asian-facing operator signs cooperation agreement designed to "protect the integrity of football".
Philippines-licensed Bodog88 has become the latest egaming operator to sign a cooperation agreement with football body FIFA’s Early Warning System (EWS).
Intended to “Protect the integrity of football,” the cooperation agreement is designed to help identify suspicious betting patterns or related behaviour at an early stage.
Other operators to ink agreements with EWS include Schleswig-Holstein licensee mybet – which signed its deal in July – as well as the likes of Samvo.
In signing the agreement, Bodog88 has made a commitment to provide EWS with information concerning bets placed on FIFA events, in order to assist with the analysis and review of the movement of odds on such games.
The announcement comes less than a month after the operator revealed plans to launch a Vietnamese offering before the end of the year.
Bodog88 managing director Robert Gustafson said: “It is in everyone’s interest that the sport remains untainted by any form of corruption and it is programmes such as this that help maintain football’s reputation globally and that reputation is exactly why we see such phenomenal audiences for televised football matches in Asia.”
