As part of our exclusive data partnership with the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA), H2 is extending its Global Betting Summary Dataset market data coverage to now include the number of suspicious betting alerts reported by IBIA, which is the leading global authority in its field.

The new dataset tracks back historically to 2017 when 266 alerts were logged, to the 183 reported last year. Breakdown coverage is updated quarterly and provided by continent, country and sport. Tennis and football are currently the most targeted sports by match-fixers making up around 80% of all IBIA cases, albeit there have been alerts reported on 15 sports in total during 2017-19.

The IBIA Monitoring & Alert Platform gathers detailed intelligence on suspicious betting patterns identified across IBIA members’ sports betting markets globally. The association’s members include many of the largest operators in the world, with around 50 retail and online sports betting brands feeding data into the association’s unique customer-based alert platform 24/7.

All suspicious activity is reported to sport governing bodies and regulators by IBIA and by the member(s) whose market is concerned. The alert system has resulted in numerous convictions across a range of sports and enhanced the integrity of sporting events worldwide, whilst protecting IBIA members’ businesses and saving substantial amounts of otherwise fraudulently lost income.

IBIA CEO Khalid Ali said “The association is delighted to extend its ongoing collaboration with H2 and to be able to add its suspicious betting alert data to H2’s leading market analysis and intelligence. As membership of the association continues to grow, so does its global market coverage, with IBIA data representing the most accurate picture of the impact of corruption on regulated betting markets. I hope that all H2 subscribers engaged in sports and/or the betting arena will find this data of interest.”

David Henwood, Director at H2, added: “We are committed to providing the best independent data and market commentary there is within the sector. We also want to highlight best practice where we see it particularly when it comes to developing a safe betting environment in both sport and gambling regulation. IBIA is world leading its work and a quality data provider in its own right so showcasing these numbers to our H2 Subscribers is a natural extension of our partnership going forward.”

SmartSoft, a leading provider of non-traditional casino games operating on the B2B market since 2015. The creator of groundbreaking and unique games, with nearly a decade of experience and 70 games to its credit, SmartSoft has pioneered several unique gaming experiences. Among its groundbreaking creations is the flight-based non-traditional casino game JetX, which has set a benchmark in the industry. SmartSoft has introduced its latest marvel, HelicopterX, which has quickly attracted millions of users worldwide. Launched in November, HelicopterX has already took the 4th position in gaming rankings, thanks to its immersive gaming experience, this game sets a new standard for visual excellence and artistic innovation in the gaming industry.

SmartSoft’s CEO, Guga Gotsadze shares his thoughts with us: “HelicopterX represents a significant leap forward in our commitment to providing innovative and engaging gaming experiences. Our team’s dedication and creative approach have truly set this game apart in the market.” HelicopterX features a helicopter as the main object and a diamond as the trigger, combining dynamic casino gameplay with interactive elements. The game’s exceptional visual design, stunning graphics, and captivating animations engage players from the first glance. Every element, from detailed environments to dynamic visual effects, teleports players in a stunning digital world.

The creation of HelicopterX was a collaborative effort involving multiple departments at SmartSoft, each contributing their expertise to deliver a top-tier product. The process began with an initial concept, where the team decided to make the game distinctive – unlike similar games in the industry that are solely based on mechanics, while working on HelicopterX, they decided that the game would feature modern visuals, be as user-friendly as possible, and incorporate outstanding mechanics. After this they planned the core algorithms and game logic. Following this, the back-end development phase involved meticulous coding to bring these ideas to life. The subsequent front-end development phase integrated sophisticated designs with the game logic, ensuring seamless animations and functionality across various devices.

In the design department, the initial stage involved creating drafts or “skeletons” of the game’s visual elements. The objective was to visually express the game concept in the most engaging way possible. Multiple versions of the environment, diamond, and helicopter were sketched before finalizing a distinct and appealing environment. This stage was crucial for the product’s success, as the game needed to be both visually appealing and intuitive. After finalizing the designs, the animators brought these elements to life, ensuring a seamless and captivating visual experience. Continuous testing and optimization were conducted to ensure technical efficiency and eliminate any bugs, providing users with an error-free gaming experience. “Our rigorous testing process and attention to detail ensure that HelicopterX delivers a flawless and engaging experience for all players,” the CEO added.

One of the standout features of HelicopterX is the Diamond feature, which enhances the overall gameplay experience. This unique element helps players navigate through the basic Multiplayer faster, adding depth and excitement to the game. The design elements, including symbols, backgrounds, and animations, are coherently aligned to support and enhance the game’s theme, contributing to a cohesive and immersive gaming experience. HelicopterX is a testament to SmartSoft’s dedication to innovation and excellence in the gaming industry. From the captivating visuals to the rigorous testing, every aspect of the game is handled in-house, fostering a sense of pride and ownership among the team. “We believe HelicopterX embodies the spirit of innovation and excellence that SmartSoft strives for. We are proud of our achievement and excited to share this experience with players around the world,” said the CEO.
