Better monitoring helps catch people making fraudulent bets on sports
Regulators and integrity firms—primarily based in Las Vegas—are improving their oversight of sports wagering to better detect suspicious and fraudulent activity. By tracking real-time betting patterns and unusual odds movements, these systems can generate alerts when betting behavior deviates from normal norms. Companies like U.S. Integrity collaborate with sportsbooks, leagues and regulators across many states, aggregating data and issuing alerts that often lead to investigations, suspensions or arrests. This enhanced and proactive monitoring capability is contributing to heightened transparency and accountability in sports betting, effectively helping to catch individuals engaged in illicit or unfair wagering practices.
