The International Betting Integrity Association reported 76 suspicious betting alerts across nine sports during Q2 2026. Football led the total, while esports accounted for more than one fifth of all cases.
Good to Know
Football cases covered Africa, Europe, Oceania and South America. Kosovo recorded five alerts, while Cameroon had three. Brazil, Colombia, Ghana, Poland and Paraguay each recorded two.
Esports generated 16 alerts, all classified as global because the events could not be linked to one country or continent.
Basketball ranked third with 10 alerts. Nine came from South America, including five in Paraguay and three in Colombia. The Philippines accounted for the only Asian basketball case.
Tennis produced nine alerts across five regions. Three involved events in the United States. Two reports went to the International Tennis Integrity Agency as intelligence because the events sat outside the main tours.
Other alerts covered five darts cases in the United Kingdom, four greyhound cases in Ireland, three cricket cases, three table tennis cases and one volleyball case in Portugal.

IBIA also used the report to compare regulated betting access across Canada. H2 Gambling Capital data showed Ontario online sports betting channelisation rising from 5% of gross gambling revenue in 2022 to 85% in 2023, before staying above 90%.
Alberta is expected to follow a similar path under its regulated online market. Other Canadian provinces remain at low double digit channelisation levels.
IBIA has committed CA$300,000 with bet365, Betway and FanDuel to athlete education in Canada. Nearly 200 Canadian Premier League players and staff have joined sessions based on rules, responsibility and reporting. The programme now also covers Canadian Football League athletes through Genius Sports.
IBIA members include more than 90 companies and over 200 betting brands. The network monitors more than 1.5 million events each year and reviews customer activity linked to over $300 billion in annual betting turnover.
