Alderney regulator and Fifa subsidiary sign Memorandum of Understanding

AlderneyiGaming Business – The Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) regulatory body has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Early Warning System, a subsidiary of the Fifa international football governing body.

The agreement has been activated ahead of this summer’s 2014 Fifa World Cup national team tournament.

The MoU is based on an ongoing close co-operation for the early detection of suspicious activities in sport betting, which can serve as an indicator for match-fixing.

The cooperation will include the exchange of relevant betting information to support the analysis of odds movements and investigations into suspicious football events.

As part of the deal, AGCC and Fifa Early Warning System have agreed on an operational framework to ensure an effective collaboration.
