The operator noted that the membership covers both digital and retail betting brands. It joins several of the leading regulated sports betting operators in the world, with IBIA members accounting for more than $137bn in global betting handle per annum, and almost 50% of all regulated commercial operator online betting activity.

“It is an honour to be a member of the International Betting Integrity Association as we aim to provide the most premium digital gaming entertainment to our patrons,”  said Mohegan Digital President Richard Roberts.

“As we continue to expand our digital presence, it will be beneficial to have IBIA in our corner to ensure our members that the integrity of all games is safeguarded.”

Mohegan is an extension of the Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut and is the owner, developer and manager of gambling and entertainment resorts in the US, Canada and Northern Asia. Online gambling is provided through its Mohegan Digital brand.

“Digital gaming and sports wagering will continue to grow as cornerstones of the entertainment industry over the next few years,” said Mohegan CEO and President Ray Pineault.

“Becoming a member of the IBIA allows us to confidently remain at the forefront of these trends and innovations, while knowing we have strategic partners in this highly-regulated industry.”

Run by operators for operators, the IBIA protects its members from corruption through collective action. It represents the sector at high-level policy discussion forums such as the IOC, UN, Council of Europe and European Commission.

IBIA CEO Khalid Ali commented: “The addition of Mohegan to IBIA’s ranks is an important boost for the association, maintaining our strong growth globally and particularly in North America.

“IBIA welcomes the support for, and commitment of, companies like Mohegan to betting integrity and to working in partnership with our leading monitoring network covering many of the largest regulated operators in the world.”
