The Indonesian Basketball League (IBL) has expanded its partnership with Genius Sports to launch a comprehensive integrity programme to tackle the threat of match-fixing.

Genius Sports is the trusted integrity partner to the English Premier League, NFL, German FA, PGA TOUR and over 150 leagues and federations worldwide. Across 24/7 monitoring and bespoke educational services, Genius Sports will help to safeguard the transparency and unpredictability of IBL events.

Genius Sports will provide the IBL with specialist forensic data and insights regarding global wagering on its events. Real-time odds movements will be analysed by Genius Sports’ Bet Monitoring System and cross-referenced with predictive algorithms to automatically detect and flag any suspicious activity. Genius Sports’ team of integrity analysts will examine all monitoring data on IBL events, providing the league with regular, detailed reports.

Over 300 IBL players, coaches and officials have also been provided with a series of expert educational workshops, highlighting: the league’s rules around integrity, the personal consequences of match-fixing scandals and the dangers of sharing insider information.

“This collaboration is a proactive effort for the league to continue to safeguard the transparency and competitiveness of our competitions. Monitoring and education are vitally important to protecting the IBL and we’re pleased to be working with Genius Sports who are the trusted integrity partner to hundreds of sports leagues worldwide,” Junas Miradiarsyah, Chief Executive Officer of the Indonesian Basketball League, said.

“Sports must remain highly vigilant and proactive in their fight against match-fixing. We’re honoured to be the Official Integrity Partner of the IBL and supporting them in the delivery of a comprehensive programme that combines round-the-clock monitoring with educational services to safeguard their competitions,” said Mohamed Feizel, Head of Sports and Broadcast, APAC at Genius Sports.

The launch of this integrity programme is an expansion of the IBL’s long-term official data partnership with Genius Sports. FIBA LiveStats, the preeminent data collection system in world basketball developed by Genius Sports, is used courtside at every IBL game to create official play-by-play statistics that power their products for fans, broadcasters, media and more worldwide.
