SkillOnNet joins IBIA to strengthen integrity in the gambling industry
February 4, 2025 – Malta – Leading gaming and entertainment provider
SkillOnNet has taken a decisive step in the fight against betting corruption by joining forces with the
International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA). This strategic partnership aligns SkillOnNet with a global network dedicated to safeguarding the integrity of sports and betting markets.
With a portfolio of over 40 brands operating in multiple regulated jurisdictions, SkillOnNet joins a prestigious list of 70 international betting operators committed to eliminating fraudulent activities in the industry. Through its IBIA membership, SkillOnNet will now contribute to a sophisticated global monitoring system designed to detect and report suspicious betting patterns.
A global effort to protect sports integrity
The IBIA serves as a leading advocate for integrity within the regulated gambling sector. Its Monitoring & Alert Network acts as a first line of defense against corruption, flagging irregular betting activity and sharing intelligence with key sporting organizations, including
FIFA,
UEFA, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA), and the
International Olympic Committee (IOC).
By joining IBIA, SkillOnNet strengthens its role in upholding fairness and transparency across its diverse brand portfolio, which includes popular platforms such as
PlayOJO, LuckyNiki,
SpinGenie,
PlayUZU,
Drueck Glueck, and
BacanaPlay.
Expanding presence in Brazil and Latin America
As part of its ongoing expansion, SkillOnNet has made significant strides in Latin America, particularly in the recently regulated betting market in
Brazil, or in
Mexico. Given Brazil’s potential to become one of the largest betting markets in the world, ensuring integrity from the outset is crucial.
IBIA has been actively working to implement measures that protect the credibility of Brazil’s gambling sector, and SkillOnNet’s involvement signals its strong commitment to maintaining high ethical standards in this emerging market.
Industry Leaders Welcome the Partnership
Expressing enthusiasm about the collaboration, IBIA CEO Khalid Ali stated: "We are delighted to welcome SkillOnNet to IBIA’s global network of responsible gambling operators. Their inclusion strengthens our presence not only in Brazil and Latin America but worldwide. SkillOnNet’s commitment to integrity aligns perfectly with our mission to safeguard the betting industry, consumers, and sporting events through our advanced monitoring and alert system."
On behalf of SkillOnNet, Pedro Garcia, Brazil Country Manager, emphasized the company’s dedication to responsible gaming in the region: "We see incredible opportunities in Brazil, but with any new market, it is essential to have robust integrity measures in place. The IBIA plays a critical role in ensuring fair play and protecting both operators and bettors. Being part of this organization reinforces our commitment to upholding the highest standards in the industry."
A step towards a safer betting industry
As the online gaming industry continues to grow, collaborations like the one between SkillOnNet and IBIA are essential in maintaining public trust and preventing corruption. By leveraging data-driven monitoring systems and strategic industry partnerships, SkillOnNet is positioning itself as a leader in responsible and transparent betting practices worldwide.
With the Brazilian market poised for rapid growth, this move demonstrates a proactive approach to ensuring integrity from the start, setting a positive precedent for the future of sports betting regulation in Latin America and beyond.
