Sports betting operator Galera.bet has joined the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA). The platform, a sports betting ♨️ brand of Match Time Solutions, is primarily focused on Brazil and this decision “fulfills its regulatory obligation" under the recently ♨️ published Provisional Measure to join an international body for monitoring sports integrity.

Galera.bet is an official sponsor of the Campeonato Brasileiro ♨️ Série A, the Brazilian Basketball Confederation and Brazilian 3×3 Basketball Tour. Through its latest move, the operator joins "nearly 50 ♨️ companies and over 125 leading sports betting brands in IBIA."

IBIA announced its expansion into Brazil earlier this year ahead, of ♨️ the expected regulation of the market. The Brazilian government's subsequent Provisional Measure, published on July 25, includes a requirement for ♨️ licensed operators to be part of an international body for monitoring sports integrity.

According to independent gambling market data provider H2 ♨️ Gambling Capital, IBIA members are estimated to already account for over 60% of the Brazilian remote gambling market. The association ♨️ says that its "leading market position" will enable it to provide "a highly accurate analysis and effective deterrent against betting-related ♨️ fraud," supporting a crackdown on match-fixing in Brazil.
