The Serbian Basketball League has signed an agreement that sees the Serbian Superlige monitored by Sportradar.
The company’s Fraud Detection System will monitor betting across over 450 betting operators, looking over the remaining matches in the current season, as well as the upcoming season’s games.
KLS director Leon Deleon said: “We are the first basketball federation in the region to take this preventative step and so we are proud to again be the first movers in progressing the sport forward.
“Match-fixing is a clear danger that we cannot ignore and it is a danger that can come from any country and from any part of the world. That was why we needed the system with the broadest coverage of the betting market and with the most detailed analysis - Sportradar ticked the boxes for us.”
Sportradar Security Services managing director Andreas Krannich added: “We were the first integrity specialists to develop a system for the monitoring of basketball and started looking into matches in 2014.
“Serbian basketball has put its trust in that specially tailored system and can now be assured that of having a unique and bespoke insight into how individuals are betting on the league at any of the 450 operators we have in our Fraud Detection System.
“In the event that our expert analysts spot any concerns, we will work closely with the KLS and their collaborators to ensure that those manipulating the outcomes are brought to justice.”
