IBIA Sets Course for Future with Mission 2030 and New Global Brand Identity

The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) has rolled out Mission 2030, a five-year plan designed to cement its place as the global benchmark for sports betting integrity. Alongside the new roadmap, the association also introduced a refreshed brand identity that mirrors its expanding international presence and forward-looking vision.

Good to Know

• Mission 2030 outlines IBIA’s five-year plan to strengthen betting integrity worldwide.
• The strategy includes upgrades to the Global Monitoring & Alert Platform (Global MAP).
• A new brand identity and logo reflect deeper collaboration across global stakeholders.

IBIA’s announcement comes as it celebrates two decades of safeguarding fair play and integrity across the sports betting industry. With regulations evolving and technologies like AI, crypto, and esports changing how betting markets operate, the association aims to stay ahead through greater adaptability and cooperation.

Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said:

“As IBIA marks its 20th anniversary, we are not only reflecting on the past, we are also looking ahead to the future. Our new strategic roadmap charts how we will continue to deliver best in class integrity services to our members, deepen collaboration with our partners, and successfully confront the challenges and opportunities reshaping our industry. IBIA is evolving to ensure that whatever new trends emerge, we remain ready to safeguard sports, consumers and regulated betting markets.”

At the heart of Mission 2030 are three main objectives that guide IBIA’s future actions:

1. Enhancing Global MAP: Improving its worldwide monitoring and alert system to spot suspicious activity faster and support investigations more effectively.
2. Expanding Collaboration: Building stronger partnerships across sports, regulators, and enforcement agencies to create a more unified global integrity network.
3. Advancing Prevention: Promoting better regulation, sound policies, and player education to prevent integrity issues before they occur.

Rather than being a static plan, Mission 2030 is built to evolve with industry trends. IBIA plans to adapt to shifts like the rise of crypto wagering, AI-driven analytics, and emerging esports markets — all of which present new integrity challenges and opportunities. Each part of the strategy will be shaped and implemented with direct input from IBIA’s members, keeping the association proactive and responsive.

To match its future direction, IBIA also revealed a redesigned brand identity. The updated logo features six interlocking segments symbolizing the key players in the fight for betting integrity — operators, sports, regulators, law enforcement, athletes, and institutions. Together, they represent the foundation of IBIA’s mission.

The association’s new strapline, “Safeguarding Sports Betting,” captures its purpose and underlines its commitment to transparency and protection in the global betting ecosystem.

Khalid Ali added:

“To achieve our ambitions, we need to evolve and that starts with the way we present ourselves. More than just a visual update, our new brand is a key building block of Mission 2030. It reflects not just who we are today, but where we are heading tomorrow.”
