Australia targets offshore wagering threat with major sporting events on horizon

Australia is taking proactive measures to address the threat of illegal betting and organized crime in the sports industry. The upcoming Women's Asian Cup, as well as other major sporting events leading up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics, have increased the risk of illicit betting activities. Sport Integrity Australia (SIA) will host a gathering of sports integrity professionals, including representatives from various sports codes, law enforcement agencies, and wagering companies. The goal is to establish a major events taskforce that will improve collaboration and combat the emerging threats, such as the rise of offshore wagering havens in jurisdictions like Vanuatu. This initiative aims to strengthen the country's sports integrity framework and protect the integrity of Australian sporting events in the lead-up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.
