Match fixing, spot fixing and suspicious betting, from the operator's side of the market. The course covers what corruption in sport actually looks like and why spot fixing dominates, what a suspicious betting pattern is and the innocent explanations that account for most of them, how monitoring and alert handling work across operators, monitoring companies and sports, the operator's real levers of market design, suspension, voiding and account action, the sporting and criminal frameworks and why cases fall between them, prevention through education, market design and information sharing, and building a function that sports and regulators trust.
Written for trading and risk teams, compliance staff who own the reporting obligation, and anyone who has to decide whether to suspend a market or void a bet. It assumes you know how a sportsbook prices and settles.
The through-line is a discipline with real consequences: a betting pattern is a hypothesis about a market, not a finding about a person. The course teaches how to describe what was seen, decide what can be defended, report what should be reported, and claim nothing more.

Its chief executive says the reason is "backdoor sports betting" on prediction markets, and the numbers it cites for Novig, Rothera and Underdog explain why.
The operator's own state list now reads 18, and West Virginia is the addition. It is one of only a handful of states where the casino product can travel with the sportsbook.
