You have to read this. Really! Offshore betting companies with porn links are targeting women’s cricket❗ A new investigation by Steve Menary and Jack Kerr for Play the Game reveals that gambling operators linked to pornographic content access live data from women’s cricket 🔎 The investigation also exposes risks of match-fixing, player harassment, and the spread of betting markets into unofficial competitions. Catherine Ordway, PhD, an Australian lawyer, academic, and integrity consultant, says the convergence of unregulated gambling, live betting, women’s sport, and operators linked to pornography creates a perfect storm of integrity vulnerabilities. 💬“If betting operators also have associations with pornography and adult entertainment, legal or otherwise, it is not only going to undermine efforts to position women’s sport as safe, inclusive, and community centred, but it potentially exposes players – especially younger or lower paid women – to predatory approaches.” Also valuable insights from Steven Richardson and Aahna Mehrotra!
