Starlizard Integrity Services supports global fight against match-fixing by offering innovative new data service for free to sports governing bodies
Komodo flags suspicious matches to relevant organisations and also provides them with an analysis of both betting market activity and on-field performances where applicable. The detailed reports produced by Komodo are designed not only to assist with anti-match-fixing investigations, but also in certain cases to provide evidential value in legal proceedings – with SIS evidence already confirmed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) as an appropriate tool in the fight against match-fixing.
Starlizard has been providing sports governing bodies with information on suspicious matches free-of-charge since 2010, and through SIS since 2017. Komodo continues this commitment, expanding the complimentary SIS service to allow sports and law enforcement organisations secure access to more detailed analytical findings, expert assessments and intelligence on suspicious matches.
Komodo will initially cover football, with cricket and other sports following soon. Users will not only receive timely operational alerts whenever a game is allocated an integrity red flag, but will also benefit from an interactive platform that identifies and visualises trends and patterns within their respective sports and jurisdictions.
Steve Edery , CEO of Starlizard, said: "Starlizard is committed to supporting sports governing bodies and enforcement agencies around the globe in their efforts to combat match-fixing. Having provided integrity services to sports since 2010, we established Starlizard Integrity Services in 2017 as a dedicated division of the company, focusing entirely on integrity matters and working closely with sports integrity stakeholders to provide them with valuable insights and intelligence into market activity and behaviour. Komodo represents our latest contribution to this global collaboration against corruption in sport."
Affy Sheikh, Head of Starlizard Integrity Services, said: "We believe the future success of anti-match fixing efforts depends on more and better information being made freely available to integrity officers and investigators by true experts in this field. Komodo is an innovative tool that does just that. It is the result of significant investment in time and development costs on the part of Starlizard, and we are delighted to be able to offer it free of charge to sports bodies and law enforcement agencies around the world."
