Starcasino, a leading casino and sportsbook operator in Belgium and now in the Netherlands, has joined the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) as it rolls out its sportsbook offering in the Netherlands through Altenar, an existing IBIA member.
The operator is also established in Spain and joins over 80 companies and 140 sports betting brands that feed into IBIA’s world-leading betting integrity network, which monitors over $300bn in sports bets each year. Starcasino’s membership maintains IBIA’s position as the foremost sports betting integrity monitor in the Netherlands, with the association representing around 90% of the licensed sportsbooks currently in operation in the country.
Kylian Olierook, Director of Starcasino Netherlands, said: “Starcasino.nl has joined the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) as part of our ongoing effort to support fair and honest sports betting. Together with our sportsbook partner Altenar, we want to help protect sports from manipulation and ensure a safe experience for our players. By working with IBIA, we take an active role in monitoring and reporting suspicious betting activity.”
Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, added: “We are delighted to welcome Starcasino to our association. Their addition strengthens our global monitoring network and reinforces our shared commitment to safeguarding the integrity of sports and regulated betting markets. Membership of IBIA highlights Starcasino’s dedication to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and transparency in the regulated sports betting industry. We look forward to working closely with Starcasino to protect the integrity of its products and markets.”
Through the IBIA global monitoring network, a highly effective anti-corruption tool, detecting and reporting suspicious activity in regulated betting markets, it is possible to track transactional activities linked to individual customer accounts; this data is only available to IBIA and its members.
IBIA’s Q1 report detailed 63 suspicious betting alerts reported during the quarter to the relevant authorities. IBIA alerts contributed to the investigations and subsequent successful sanctioning of 17 clubs, players and officials in 2024.
