The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) has welcomed EstrelaBet as its latest member.
Through its membership, EstrelaBet becomes part of 140 global brands that have committed to safeguarding sports against match-fixing attempts. In the market of Brazil, where EstrelaBet is headquartered, the IBIA has an agreement in place with the Ministry of Finance to strengthen the integrity of the local betting market.
Most recently, the association organised a forum for a number of payment providers to be held at SBC Summit Rio, where all parties will discuss various strategies to further protect Brazil sports from corruption.
