The French government has launched a new watchdog to monitor online betting in a bid to combat match-fixing, Sports Minister Thierry Braillard announced on Thursday. The body will allow for an exchange of information between the different authorities regulating on-line betting at national and international level along with sports federations and betting operators.
"This platform bringing together all stakeholders will allow us to better arm ourselves against the scourge that is the manipulation of sports competitions," said Braillard. It involves the creation of a co-ordination unit to inform and fight against the problem under the presidency of a director of sport, as well as a unit for surveillance of the French market.
