Genius Sports' event will be held at the Chamber of Commerce of Bogota
On February 22nd 2017, Genius Sports, in partnership with Coljuegos, the Colombian gaming regulator, will host and moderate a landmark sports integrity conference at the Chamber of Commerce of Bogota, Colombia. Experts from the world of sport, gaming regulation and law enforcement will assemble to discuss how Colombia’s recent gambling regulation with its enhanced regulatory controls are powerful weapons in the fight against match-fixing and sports-related corruption.
As the first country in South America to adopt a licensing regime for online betting and gaming, Colombia is in a unique position to lead the region by establishing a safe, transparent and regulated sports betting market. To some, the regulation of online betting increases questions surrounding the integrity of the sports with heightened levels of betting perceived to increase the threats posed by match-fixing and betting-related corruption.
Following Colombia’s decision to become the first South American country to adopt a licensing regime for online betting, this event will discuss a wide range of topics including the benefits of a regulated betting system, the measures being taken in Europe to protect the integrity of sports and the dangers presented by an illegal market.
Sports leagues and federations can also hear about the significant opportunities in commercialising sports data with regulated betting operators.
