Esports data company GRID Esports<\/strong> has announced that it has joined the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) <\/strong>as an associate member, the first of its kind in esports. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
The partnership will see GRID work with IBIA on esports-related topics such as integrity in esports betting and will help combat integrity breaches and other unlawful practices in esports betting.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
- \n
- GRID and BLAST secure multi-year data deal<\/a><\/li>\n
- GRID extends partnership with betting provider BETER<\/a><\/li>\n
- GRID partners with Tracker Network for VALORANT data<\/a><\/li>\n <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n \n
The partnership is a major one for GRID, as the company is the first esports-focused associate member of IBIA. Another esports-focused data company, Oddin.gg, has been a regular member of the IBIA since early 2024. <\/a> IBIA represents more than 50 betting companies worldwide and helps combat betting corruption and other illegal practices. IBIA’s members operate more than 120 sports betting brands.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nAccording to a release, GRID and IBIA will “share information relating to suspicious esports betting and potential match manipulation from their monitoring and intelligence platforms.” <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nIn addition, other IBIA members will be able to access integrity-focused resources created by GRID.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nGRID was announced as an approved betting data supplier by IBIA in 2022, and the new development aims to further expand the collaboration between the data company and the non-profit organisation. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nMoritz Maurer, CEO of GRID<\/strong>, commented: \u201cIntegrity is at the heart of GRID’s mission. By joining IBIA as an Associate Member, we are taking a definitive step toward establishing esports as a trusted and credible industry. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \n“This partnership enables us to further our efforts in promoting transparency, reducing risks associated with esports betting, and strengthening operational practices across the ecosystem.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nGRID has recently secured a large, multi-year data deal with tournament organiser BLAST <\/a>and has appointed former Riot Games executive John Knauss as Executive VP<\/a>. Earlier in 2024, GRID worked with the Esports World Cup foundation <\/a>and co-created a Rainbow Six Siege data portal with Ubisoft. <\/a><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
