Sportradar has signed a deal with the Football Association of Indonesia that will see its Fraud Detection System provide betting intelligence on the Indonesia Super League and other competitions until the end of 2016.
Managing director of strategy and integrity at Sportradar, Andreas Krannich, said: “Monitoring over 1,800 matches for the Football Association of Indonesia is a responsibility that we take very seriously.
“The PSSI have not only put their faith in us and our Fraud Detection System, but they have done so for the long term.
“This is a great honour and we will work tirelessly in partnership with the PSSI to ensure that full and fair competition prevails across Indonesia.”
Sportradar’s FDS will be used to monitor betting behaviour patterns for the remaining 290 matches of the 2014 season, including the ISL and Divisi Utama.
The system will also cover all 1,538 matches in the 2015 and 2016 ISL, Inter-Island Cup and Divisi Utama.
Joko Driyono, general secretary of PSSI added: “We understand that approximately $65m is bet on the ISL every season.
“This is a staggering figure. We cannot afford for even $1 of that to be placed on a manipulated outcome.
"We at the PSSI are absolutely committed to ensuring that football in Indonesia is exciting for players, attractive for sponsors and broadcasters and exciting for fans.
“Credibility and integrity is key to all of that and that is why we have brought Sportradar on board as [one of] our partners.
“There is simply no better system out there to highlight and explain suspiscous betting behavious around sporting events and we look forward to working closely with them over the next two-and-a-half years.”
