Sportradar will employ its FDS to monitor the global betting patterns and movements across regulated and unregulated markets for all matches of the Six Nations competitions – a total of 135 games during the three-year deal. Six Nations Rugby has also asked Sportradar to deliver a number of Fraud Prevention Service workshops to representatives from each participating nation.
Andreas Krannich, the managing director for integrity at Sportradar, said: “The Six Nations has decided to double-down their defences by pairing our FDS, which monitors 450 betting operators worldwide, with our educational workshops, which have been delivered to football and rugby rights holders across Europe and beyond.
“Education is such a key component of this service and we are excited to arm key participants with the awareness and understanding of the issue and how it can affect them.”
