Building on six years of experience with the establishment in 2009 of ELMS with European Lotteries, GLMS went global in January 2015, and extended its network to other continents (now with a new operational hub in Hong Kong). GLMS facilitates the sharing of sports betting information as part of the collective efforts of its members in ensuring sports integrity globally.
Founded by EL and WLA and currently counting 33 individual Members as well as 3 associate members, the GLMS is now further increasing and enhancing the quality of its services towards its Members.
