The Technical Cooperation Agreement (TCA) aims to train SPA’s technical staff to monitor authorized online sports betting and gaming in Brazil, given its responsibility for coordinating the process of authorization, inspection and sanctioning of operators that provide online sports betting and gaming services nationwide.
Sportradar will provide its expertise in integrity services to the Secretariat, including reporting any suspicious incidents that the company may identify through its market monitoring, as well as providing strategic advice on how to deal with such situations.
In addition, Sportradar will support the ongoing education and training of SPA staff on the threat of match-fixing, to increase awareness and understanding of the issue.
Regis Dudena, Secretary of Prizes and Betting, responsible for the agreement, said: “The partnership with Sportradar will be an important tool in combating a major negative externality of the fixed-odds betting market, which is the risk of match-fixing.”
Felippe Marchetti, Integrity Partnerships Manager for Sportradar in Brazil, said: “The signing of the Technical Cooperation Agreement was a proud occasion for Sportradar and we appreciate the confidence shown by the Brazilian Ministry of Finance in the expertise of Sportradar’s integrity services division.”
“Initiatives such as this ACT reflect a mutual commitment to establishing a sustainable and regulated sports betting industry in Brazil, built on a foundation of integrity.”
