The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) and H2 Gambling Capital (H2), the industry’s globally recognized go-to authorities on betting integrity and gambling market data, have renewed their successful partnership agreement, under which the two organizations will work to raise standards in betting market regulation and integrity protection.
H2 and IBIA collaborated on the groundbreaking Optimum Betting Market Study, which was released in June 2021 and was the first-of-its-kind research that graded betting sector regulation in 20 countries across six continents using a variety of licensing structures. The study was the first to use actual operator data from more than 20 of the world’s biggest betting companies.
IBIA has provided its experience and knowledge on regulated market development, particularly related to betting integrity practices, in many jurisdictions worldwide, with a recent emphasis on the United States and Canada, and H2 has increasingly worked on modeling the financial impact of regulatory change as well as accurate offshore market sizing.
The extended collaboration keeps H2 as IBIA’s official betting market data partner, with access to H2’s enormous market database of around 2 million data points spanning 175+ gaming jurisdictions in over 100 countries. For several years, IBIA has used H2 data in answers to regulatory consultations and other market activities, and they will continue to do deeper dive evaluations of markets deemed unsuitable for licensed operator development.
Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said:
“IBIA works closely with key stakeholders, such as regulatory authorities, to ensure that suitable licensing and mitigating process are in place to protect markets from corruption. Having access to accurate and reliable market data, to add to our global integrity data, is a critical facet of that outreach. H2 Gambling Capital is the foremost authority on global gambling markets and our partnership has been a vital component of IBIA’s integrity best practice advocacy activities around the world. We are delighted to renew and maintain that relationship.”
Director at H2, David Henwood, said:
“We’ve known the team at IBIA since the early days and to witness the organisation’s growth at close quarters in the time since has been truly impressive. With so many new markets still to open up and other more established ones now starting to see their frameworks tighten, it is more important than ever to continue to provide that independent optimal market view and ensure any regulatory decisions that are made are underpinned by the most accurate market data and analysis. We are delighted to continue to support IBIA as co-partners in this space.”
