The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) has published its Q2 2025 report, confirming 69 sports betting alerts passed on to the relevant authorities. Football, tennis and basketball dominated the list, making up almost three-quarters of the total. The alerts covered 23 countries and spanned 10 different sports.

  • Football once again topped the table with 27 alerts, making up 39% of the quarter’s total. Cases came from every major region — Europe, South America, Africa, Asia and North America. IBIA’s monitoring shows football regularly leads the way when it comes to flagged betting activity.

  • Tennis generated 14 alerts, just over 20% of the total. Seven of these were passed as intelligence to the International Tennis Integrity Agency for events outside the main tours. Even so, some of the players could still be subject to the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program.

  • Basketball accounted for 10 alerts, or 14.5% of the total. Vietnam was the hotspot with nine alerts, while the other case came from Brazil. The volume of basketball alerts is similar to what IBIA saw in earlier quarters.

  • Esports produced seven alerts, all listed under “global” because the location wasn’t always clear. In some situations, multiple matches involving the same player of concern were grouped as a single alert. This approach helps IBIA track recurring issues more effectively.

  • Cricket had three alerts in the quarter, all linked to matches in the UK. While cricket’s share of total alerts is smaller, the sport continues to feature in IBIA reports and remains under close watch.

  • Baseball saw two alerts, both from the USA. The sport doesn’t generate many cases compared with football or tennis, but IBIA says seasonal trends can lead to bursts of suspicious activity.

  • Snooker also had two alerts, both from the UK. These may be low in number, but the sport continues to have isolated cases that require investigation.

  • Badminton registered two alerts in the USA. It’s a newer sport for IBIA’s monitoring, so there’s limited historical data to compare, but it’s now firmly on the watch list.

  • Sinuca Americana, a Brazilian cue sport, had one alert this quarter. Although niche, it still comes under IBIA’s integrity remit and is being investigated.

  • Horse racing recorded a single alert in Ireland. Like other sports, racing is monitored year-round to safeguard betting integrity across all regulated markets.
