This system brings both companies’ specialisms to bear on betting-related corruption, such as match fixing; a problem that Genius claims this new platform can better pre-empt and prevent.
It will produce customised reports and dashboards, broken down by category, including individual players, teams, match officials, competitions and regions.
Clue’s system provides a centralised digital vault that will house the entire library of integrity risk assessment reports compiled by Genius.
Analysts from Genius will then be able to access and examine every report, cross-referenced by a red, amber, green risk assessment.
“From match manipulation to safeguarding and hate crime to anti-doping investigations, Clue has an inherent ability to provide a trusted solution in sports integrity,” said Phil Suddick, Head of Sport at Clue.
“The partnership with Genius Sports is an amazing and unprecedented opportunity to provide protection and intelligence to over 150 sporting leagues and federations.
“Genius Sports and Clue have taken this golden opportunity to deter, disrupt and detect those criminals who seek to manipulate sporting events.”
Simon Martyn, Director of Rights Enforcement and Integrity at Genius Sports, echoed Suddick’s comments, remarking: “This partnership with Clue is an exciting next step in our continued investment in our sports integrity offering.
“Their leading software gives us the edge in tackling the clear and present danger of match fixing by delivering intelligence and investigative capabilities that can help prevent, detect and disrupt betting-related corruption.
“We’re very grateful to Clue, a global leader in intelligence software, for working so closely with us to build a highly customised solution that will be pivotal to our integrity offering going forward.”
