Investigation Underway

Eastern European football clubs have raised a red flag at the UEFA Cup for suspected match-fixing, a charge that is being taken extremely seriously these days with a United Kingdom’s strong desire to really limit the influence of land and online casino betting companies on the sporting games. The industry media has been alight lately with concerns about maintaining the integrity of sports by keeping the internet betting companies under tighter regulations. The argument against new regulations within the industry has always been the fact that the gambling groups themselves monitor the betting patterns at land and online casino betting and report suspicious activity. All of these concerns have made the industry extremely cautious and the announcement that the governing body for European football is investigating as many as forty UEFA Cup and Champions League games has made some wary.

If the governing body does uncover match-fixing in the games it could be just the impetus that the UK and European governments need to launch new regulations aimed specifically at the online casino sports betting companies. On the more positive side is the fact that initial information indicates that the focus lies primarily within the Eastern European internet gambling teams and the major UK and European football teams appear to be left out of the investigation.

The concern right now is that some of the teams may have anticipated that they were not going to be in these major competitions until the end so they instead chose to make a bit of profit by match-fixing their games on their way out of the UEFA Cup and Champion’s League games. The games under investigation go back as far as five years although many are within the last two years.
