Key points:
- Starcasino has joined the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) as it expands in the Netherlands
- The move aims to protect sports integrity and enhance safe betting for customers
Starcasino has announced it has joined the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) as the operator ramps up its sports betting operations in the Netherlands.
The move comes shortly after Starcasino’s recent launch of its Dutch sportsbook powered by Altenar, which is itself an existing IBIA member.
The operator, which maintains operations in Belgium and Spain, joins over 80 companies and 140 sports betting brands contributing to IBIA's global monitoring network that tracks more than $300bn in annual sports betting activity.
Commenting on the development, Kylian Olierook, Director of Starcasino Netherlands, stated: “Starcasino.nl has joined the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) as part of our ongoing effort to support fair and honest sports betting.
“Together with our sportsbook partner Altenar, we want to help protect sports from manipulation and ensure a safe experience for our players. By working with IBIA, we take an active role in monitoring and reporting suspicious betting activity.”
Good to know: This newest membership reinforces IBIA's position in the Dutch market, where the association now represents approximately 90% of licensed sportsbooks currently operating in the country
Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, added: “We are delighted to welcome Starcasino to our association. Their addition strengthens our global monitoring network and reinforces our shared commitment to safeguarding the integrity of sports and regulated betting markets.
“Membership of IBIA highlights Starcasino’s dedication to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and transparency in the regulated sports betting industry. We look forward to working closely with Starcasino to protect the integrity of its products and markets.”
The membership continues IBIA's expansion following recent additions including PawaTech, which brought African market coverage to the association's monitoring capabilities.
