Bad Luck for Online Casinos

Integrity is sports is a huge topic right now in the internet gambling and sporting industry. The sporting authorities are worried about relationships between the online casinos and the sporting teams influencing the outcome of events and compromising the integrity of the game. The Tennis industry in particular is very worried about corruption within the game and match-fixing and other forms of manipulation taking place at online casino sports betting sites. The Tennis Integrity Unit was recently formed as a way for the tennis industry to actively and proactively investigate any suspicious betting patterns that could indicate corruption of the game. A recent case under investigation by the TIU looks as though it’s just a case of bad luck for the internet gambling companies, although the Unit is launching an investigation just to ensure that all activity was completely above-board.

The situation at hand deals with in-game betting that flooded the online casino betting sites half-way through a match between Caroline Wozniacki and Anne Kremer. The two tennis pros were in their second set, Wozniacki in the lead, when Wozniacki’s father was broadcast on international television telling his daughter that she should not finish the match because of a hamstring injury that could be made worse. Although Wozniacki’s father relayed the information in Polish, enough of the online casino bettors caught on and flooded the bookmakers with in-game bets in favor of Kremer.

Wozniacki did in fact resign from the match and her decision, as the previous odds-on favorite, cost the online casino bookmakers a lot of money because they were not able to effectively respond to the bets and change the odds before the damage was done. Although the case appears to be an accident and a case of bad luck for the bookmakers, the Tennis Integrity Unit has announced an investigation will launch to ensure that the situation was above-board and an honest in-game decision to resign from the match.
