Leading Central European sportsbook STS, part of Entain Group, has partnered with the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) to bolster integrity safeguards across its betting operations. STS will feed data into IBIA’s Global Monitoring and Alert Platform (Global MAP), which already covers more than 200 betting brands and monitors over $300 billion in sports betting turnover each year.
Founded in 1997, STS has become a major omnichannel operator, offering both digital and retail betting services. It is the number one sportsbook in Poland and a prominent brand across Central Europe. STS’s integration into Global MAP expands IBIA’s coverage in the European market and adds significant scale to the platform.
Radim Haluza, CEO of STS, said the partnership reflects the company’s long‑standing commitment to protecting sport and ensuring a secure betting environment. By contributing data to IBIA’s Global MAP, STS strengthens its ability to spot and report suspicious activity and to cooperate with other stakeholders in preventing betting‑related corruption.
Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, welcomed STS’s membership, noting that the operator brings valuable expertise and reach to Global MAP. He said the partnership will help safeguard sport, protect customers and support regulated betting markets. IBIA monitors more than 1.5 million matches across 80+ sports each year. Its operator intelligence supports sporting bodies, regulators and law enforcement in investigations.
In 2025, IBIA data contributed to sanctions involving 54 matches proven to have been corrupted, resulting in penalties for 24 players, teams and officials across five sports. IBIA’s 2025 Sports Betting Integrity Report details these findings and the ongoing impact of Global MAP.
