The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) has signed a new memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Spanish online gambling trade body Jdigital.
The agreement will provide a framework for cooperation and coordination between the two parties, focused around ensuring sporting integrity in the Spanish market.
This will include projects aimed at promoting regulated betting markets with high consumer channelling and related consumer, sports and operator integrity protection measures.
“Spain is an important market for IBIA members, many of which are also part of Jdigital,” IBIA chief executive Khalid Ali said. “A closer alliance between our associations therefore makes perfect sense, especially with the expected offshore channelisation challenges to the Spanish market from the recent advertising and sponsorship restrictions.”
