Brazil’s Ministry of Sports just took a big step to clean up the game. It signed a new deal with the International Betting Integrity Association. The aim? To protect sports fans, players and the growing betting market from match-fixing using a shared alert system and oversight. The term sports betting integrity Brazil is at the core of this mission.

  • The agreement allows the Ministry and IBIA to share information on suspicious betting connected to Brazilian sports. This cooperation supports investigations and helps authorities respond quickly to match-fixing threats. Both parties say the deal boosts transparency in sports competitions.

  • IBIA is the largest private global monitor for betting integrity, covering over 70% of Brazil’s licensed remote betting market. This estimate comes from H2 Gambling Capital, a leading industry analyst. It means the majority of Brazil’s betting activity is already under IBIA’s watch.

  • Brazil’s new regulation requires licensed betting operators to join an independent monitoring body like IBIA. This requirement supports more thorough and coordinated protection of betting transactions. It also reinforces the country’s commitment to fair play in sports.

  • A 2024 study predicts Brazil’s sports betting turnover will reach $34bn by 2028. This growth puts more pressure on regulators to prevent fraud. IBIA’s network offers access to unique, account-level data to spot and stop suspicious activity.

  • Sports Minister André Fufuca said, “With these agreements, we will have more than enough instruments to curb this practice and guarantee greater transparency.” He emphasized how integrity builds trust in results and helps Brazilian sport reach its full potential.

  • IBIA monitors over $300bn in global betting turnover annually across more than 140 brands. In Q1 2025, it flagged 63 cases of suspicious betting. These alerts were shared with regulators, showing the system’s real-time usefulness.

  • IBIA’s independence from commercial betting services makes it a neutral watchdog. It provides free monitoring to regulators and law enforcement without conflicts of interest. This structure helps all parties work together efficiently in the fight against match-fixing.
