BOYLE Sports, an international sports betting and gaming company, has joined the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA). The move reinforces BOYLE Sports’ commitment to upholding the highest standards of betting integrity and to helping protect regulated sports betting markets.
Founded in Ireland in 1982, BOYLE Sports operates an extensive retail and online betting business. It holds licenses in Ireland, Great Britain and Gibraltar. The company is a principal sponsor of West Ham United and also sponsors major sporting events, including the Irish Grand National, Irish Greyhound Derby, and the World Grand Prix of Darts.
As an IBIA member, BOYLE Sports will participate in IBIA’s Global Monitoring & Alert Platform (Global MAP). Global MAP connects over 90 companies and more than 200 betting brands, monitoring more than $300bn in sports betting turnover annually.
BOYLE Sports’ addition strengthens IBIA’s position as the leading customer account-based integrity monitoring body for regulated betting markets worldwide. It also enhances IBIA’s ability to identify and address suspicious betting activity through collaborative intelligence-sharing between operators, sports bodies, regulators, and law-enforcement stakeholders.
David Burgin, Trading Director, BOYLE Sports, said: “Joining IBIA reflects our commitment to maintaining a secure, transparent and well-regulated betting environment across our operations. Integrity and responsible betting standards remain central to our approach, and we look forward to working alongside IBIA and its members to support efforts aimed at protecting consumers and safeguarding sport from betting-related corruption.”
Khalid Ali, CEO, IBIA, said: “BOYLE Sports’ decision to join IBIA reflects a clear commitment to invest in effective sports integrity and customer protection measures. Collaboration between operators through IBIA plays a vital role in identifying, reporting and addressing suspicious betting activity. We are delighted to welcome BOYLE Sports to IBIA and look forward to working closely with the operator on betting integrity.”
IBIA monitors over 1.5 million matches across more than 80 sports each year. Operator intelligence plays a crucial role in supporting sporting, regulatory and law-enforcement investigations.
In 2025, sanctions announced using IBIA data involved 54 matches proven to have been corrupted, with sanctions subsequently imposed on 24 players, teams and officials across five sports. IBIA’s 2025 Sports Betting Integrity Report highlights the ongoing impact of Global MAP in identifying suspicious betting and supporting corruption-related investigations and sanctions. More recently, IBIA published its 2026 Q1 Integrity Report.
