Jdigital Shares Knowledge and Insights on Match-fixing and Sports Corruption with Spain’s Police Department
Spain’s online gambling trade association Jdigital has shared knowledge and insights on match-fixing and sports corruption with the National Police Department.
Last week in Barcelona, Jorge Hinojosa, Director General of Jdigital, participated in a series of workshops organised by the Training & Development unit of Spain’s police department.
Jdigital’s workshops aim to strengthen the training of police officers across Spanish provinces, investigating sports corruption through the sharing of relevant information and data.
Furthermore, Jdigital advised on the real-life dynamics of match-fixing in sports competitions and how to prevent related criminal influences that impact sports integrity.
“Corruption in sports benefits no one; it is a burden for operators, gamblers, athletes, clubs and competitions,” Hinojosa explained.
“Education of sportsmen and women is key to preventing cases of match-fixing but, in the event that a case does occur, collaboration and cooperation among clubs, competitions, operators, law enforcement authorities and international betting integrity associations is essential to act quickly and effectively.”
Informing Spanish officers, Jdigital incorporated the latest data and insights of the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) – global gambling’s unified organisation on match fixing and betting fraud.
A member of the IBIA, Jdigital shares insights on regulated betting markets, with a high level of consumer channelling and measures to protect the integrity of users, sports and operators.
“In these cases, it is more important to know the IP of the account or the origin of the funds used, rather than the name of the user, as their identity might have been impersonated,” Hinojosa added.
“In relation to these recommendations, Jdigital has recalled the strict regulations as well as security and control protocols that licensed online gambling operators comply with and which guarantee exhaustive monitoring of all operations that take place on their platforms.”
Sports integrity and betting fraud have been placed at the forefront of the Spanish government’s ongoing restructuring of Spain’s federal gambling laws.

KSA: ZEbetting and Betca Warned About Prohibited Betting Offer

The Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA) has contacted ZEbetting and Betca regarding prohibited betting offers. Both providers offered bets on winning or losing a set during tennis matches. This is not permitted. The KSA has ordered both parties to end the violation and keep it stopped.
Both ZEbetting and Betca have indicated that they have resolved the violation and taken measures to prevent recurrence. The KSA emphasized the importance of monitoring the offering. If providers have nevertheless offered prohibited betting options due to an error, they must also proactively report this to the KSA.
To prevent sports betting manipulation (match-fixing) and protect the integrity of the sport, Dutch gambling legislation prohibits betting on certain matches and events. These include events that are negative or easily manipulated. These events also include winning and losing specific sets in tennis matches. Therefore, bets on these events are prohibited.

AGCO Updates Responsible Gambling Training Standards for Gaming and Lottery

As of July 11, 2025, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) no longer requires Registrar approval for responsible gambling (RG) training programs for casino and lottery employees. This change applies to both the Gaming and Lottery Standards and supports a more flexible, outcomes-based approach.
What’s changing
• Standard 2.5 has been updated to remove the need for Registrar approval of RG training.
• Training must still be mandatory, regularly updated, and based on best practices.
• Employees must understand responsible gambling, their role in player protection, and how to support those showing signs of gambling harm.
What this change means for operators and lottery retailers
• Casino and lottery operators now have more flexibility to design and update RG training.
• Existing PlaySmart training remains valid.
Why this change matters
This change reduces red tape, encourages innovation, and maintains Ontario’s high standards for player protection. This also aligns with AGCO’s outcomes-based regulatory approach and brings greater consistency across gaming sectors, including iGaming.
