The Austrian Play Fair Code has signed a memorandum of understanding with Sportradar, the supplier of sports integrity solutions.
PFC was founded by the Austrian Sports Ministry, the Austrian Football Association and the Austrian Football League collectively. It includes the most important Austrian sports stakeholders, such as the Austrian Federal Sports Organisation, the Austrian Olympic Committee, the Austrian Ski Federation, the Bookmakers’ Federation, the Austrian Lotteries, the Austrian Ice Hockey League and the Austrian Basketball League, together with a range of Austrian betting providers.
The relationship between PFC and Sportradar will strengthen the ties between the two organisations and will incorporate the exchange of know-how and best practices, with a strong focus in the education and prevention field to reach their common objectives of fighting corruption in sport across Austria and worldwide through a range of joint approaches.
Moreover, the co-operation will also ensure mutual co-ordination and support of their efforts and advocacy before international and European authorities and institutions.
Play Fair Code president Günter Kaltenbrunner said: “We are very pleased to strengthen our relationship with Sportradar. We are both united in our aims and our joint efforts will ensure that we can be more confident in helping to diminish the risks of potential manipulation in sports across Austria.”
Sportradar’s managing director of integrity services Andreas Krannich said: “We are very proud to be sharing our expertise with the Play Fair Code. The information we can provide from our monitoring and detection system including our advanced intelligence, investigation, education and consultancy will cover all bases. Combined with PFC’s in-depth expertise in the education field, this approach will see us mutually focus on eliminating potential corruption across sporting codes.”
