A representative of the Gibraltar Gaming Division specializing in sporting integrity issues has attended a high-level workshop jointly organized by the International Olympic Committee and UEFA at the Olympic House in Lausanne, Switzerland. It was a seminar to optimize prevention regarding fraudulent sports betting and match-fixing.
The Gibraltar Football Association (GFA) hosted a UEFA seminar on match-fixing at the Rock, which was also attended by representatives from the Gaming Division. Andrew Lyman, Gibraltar's Gambling Commissioner, highlighted: “Work on integrity in sport and engaging with parties interested in match-fixing is an important part of our work that often goes unnoticed.”
In the 22/23 season, the Gibraltar Gaming Division received 42 betting integrity reports from betting operators and 13 requests for assistance from the Olympic Movement Unit on Prevention of Manipulation of Sports Competitions. In addition, according to the Gibraltarian authorities, he participated in many communications to national and international sports governing bodies (including FIFA and UEFA), as well as in engagement with law enforcement.
