Sportradar Integrity Services, a leading global supplier of sports integrity solutions, is to launch its Universal Fraud Detection System which it says will “safeguard the integrity of global sport.”
The UFDS will be funded by Sportradar and offered free of charge to any sports federation, or league worldwide, with the product being made available in October 2021.
Sportradar has used its technically advanced bet monitoring system - the Fraud Detection System - to detect match-fixing across global sport since the product’s launch in 2005. The company said in 2020 alone, over 600,000 matches were monitored by the FDS across more than 1,000 leagues and competitions, in 26 different sports.
Over the past 15 years, Sportradar states that “more than 5,300 matches have been classified as suspicious in the FDS, and Sportradar Integrity Services has supported over 400 successful sporting disciplinary sanctions and over 30 successful criminal convictions against those who have sought to corrupt sport.”
Leading up to the launch of the UFDS in October, Sportradar will be speaking to sporting bodies so they can “understand the service being offered and will continue to upscale their technology and operation to deliver this ambitious undertaking.”
