UK Responds to Corruption

The online casino gambling and betting industry has a new watchdog organization from the UK government that will be closely monitoring the betting companies to ensure that integrity in the UK and global sporting industry remains in tact. There have been several reports recently that the integrity of some sports have been compromised by alleged fixed games concerns. It happened in most recently in tennis, at the Wimbledon competitions and the Betfair was forced to recommend an investigation to the International Tennis Federation’s Integrity Unit. In response to this event, and in light of the growing concern, the Sports Minister in Britain, Gerry Sutcliffe has announced the appointment of Rick Parry to act as the head of a newly formed advisory panel that will solely focus on monitoring the sporting industries and looking for ways to ensure and maintain the integrity of sporting events.

The Sutcliffe announced this new panel because of the pending danger of corruption in sports. The issue has really hit the headlines in the past couple of months and it has been made apparent to the government that the legislation that so closely monitors the online casinos and internet betting venues, also needs some protections on the other side – the internet betting companies can only do so much to monitor and prevent corrupt betting.

Sutcliffe is confident that the government will be able to nip this issue in the bud right now, before it has gotten out of control with early intervention. Parry, the new panel head, is the former CEO of the Liverpool football team and thus has a lot of experience in the sports industry. He has agreed to use his knowledge of the sports industry to work on the panel and fight corruption in the online betting industry.
