It joins many of the largest regulated sports betting operators in the world, with the association’s members accounting for over $137bn (€115bn) in global betting turnover per annum and nearly 50% of all regulated commercial operators' online betting activity, according to the association.

Paul Klomp, Managing Director of ZEturf group, said: "I am very pleased that we have entered into this international cooperation between leading operators of sports betting. The integrity of sports and especially those we offer bets on is key for offering a solid betting product. With our experiences in the industry for many years, we are convinced that we can add value to the association.”

The operator expands IBIA’s international coverage of regulated horseracing and sports betting markets and reinforces the association’s place as the leading betting integrity monitor.
