Sportradar Extends ITTF Agreement to Emphasize Solidarity of Worldwide Table Tennis

Sportradar’s Integrity Services have prolongated the collaboration with the ITTF in order to cover a scope of international tournaments through 2023, building on a partnership that began in 2017.

As a result of the long-term contract’s re-establishment, Sportradar will utilize its Fraud Detection System to track possibly mistrustful schemes and activities during affairs assembled or authorized by the ITTF and their partners, which include the WTT Championships.

In addition, the ITTF is going to use Sportradar’s intellect and research assisting features to recognize and explore dangers and fairness problems by utilizing “intelligence, investigation and forensics”.

The data analytics firm’s Integrity Services will offer a thorough judgement of worldwide gambling dangers and fairness in table tennis along with the most recent tendencies supported by experts’ knowledge.

Sportradar’s senior Andreas Krannich commented:

“We are delighted to put forward this long-term prolongation of our cooperation with ITTF.

As a pioneer in sports integrity, it is our highest focus to create a successful structure for our customers to tackle match-fixing and other fairness concerns, particularly in light of the growing threat to world sport posed by the global pandemic’s problems. We are excited to go on aiding the ITTF’s project and contributing to the justness of worldwide Table Tennis tournaments.”

The FDS, which was released in February 2021 by Sportradar Integrity Services, is a bet-examining mechanism that has been solo examined and confirmed by experts in sports gambling and integrity.

FDS has a staff of certified analysts that look into unusual betting activities and questionable games, which are then passed on to organizers in order to improve awareness about global match security.

In the previous year, Sportradar has recorded a detection of 500+ questionable tournaments across the international sporting landscape using FDS, which it has later reported to its partners, including the Austrian Football Federation (FB), the General Directorate National Police of Bulgaria, NOC NSF, and the SvFF, in the span of the last 15 years.

ITTF’s CEO, Steve Dainton, in response to the contract extension with Sportradar, explained:

“Preserving the justness of our events is of paramount significance, and our relationship with Sportradar Integrity Services helps to enhance our integrity program.”
