The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) has published its Q3 2025 Integrity Report, recording 93 suspicious betting alerts across seven sports and five continents.

The figures, drawn from IBIA’s Global Monitoring & Alert Platform (Global Map), offer a detailed account of where integrity pressures intensified during the quarter and provide further insight into evolving patterns within the regulated betting market.

The data shows that irregular betting activity continues to surface globally. Europe accounted for 38 percent of all alerts, maintaining its position as the region with the highest concentration of reported cases. North America represented 16 percent, followed by South America at 14 percent, Asia at 11 percent and Africa at five percent. Another 16 percent of alerts could not be accurately attributed to a single geographical region and are therefore itemized as global. These geographical variations highlight the dispersed nature of integrity risks and reflect the breadth of IBIA’s global network.

A sport-level breakdown reveals that tennis, football and table tennis dominated Q3’s alert profile. Tennis generated the highest number of cases, with 28 alerts, including several associated with events outside the main professional tours. Football followed with 23 alerts, spanning tournaments and fixtures across Africa, Europe, North America and South America. Table tennis accounted for 22 alerts, the majority linked to competitions outside International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) oversight. Together, these three sports comprised nearly 80 percent of all alerts for the quarter.

Beyond these dominant sports, the report recorded 15 alerts in esports, reflecting the sector’s continued growth and the challenge of monitoring decentralized, transnational events. Basketball and handball each generated two alerts, while boxing accounted for one. The country-by-country distribution, spanning Cameroon, Brazil, Argentina, Japan, Germany, Czechia, the United States and many others, illustrates the global scale at which suspicious activity can emerge. It also underscores the value of cross-border cooperation, driven by IBIA’s responsible, regulated operator members.

IBIA’s bespoke Global Monitoring & Alert Platform remains central to these efforts. The association represents 90-plus companies and over 200 betting brands, analyzing customer activity across more than $300 billion in annual betting turnover and monitoring over 1.5 million sports events each year across more than 80 sports. Its services are licensed, approved or recognized in numerous key jurisdictions, including the Netherlands, Germany, Ontario, 32 U.S. states and Brazil. Through this network, IBIA continues to provide evidence-based intelligence to regulators, sports bodies and law-enforcement agencies, forming a critical safeguard against betting-related corruption.

The Q3 findings reaffirm the global and dynamic nature of betting integrity challenges, with operators and stakeholders increasingly reliant on robust global-monitoring systems to protect consumers, sports, and betting products from suspicious betting activity. With comprehensive data sharing and coordinated action at the heart of its mission, IBIA continues to support a safer, more transparent sports betting environment worldwide.
