Sportradar's universal fraud detection system was used at the FIB World Championships in the Swedish town of Växjö, and is set to be used at all FIB international tournaments in an attempt to safeguard bandy from betting-related fraud and match fixing.

FIB acting general secretary Attila Adamfi hailed the importance of the partnership.

"Although bandy has been fairly spared from integrity problems, it is important to do everything we can to keep the sport free from cheating when bets are made on international championships," the Hungarian official, who is also International Weightlifting Federation vice-president, said.

Sportradar managing director Andreas Krannich said the company is pleased to be working with the FIB.

"We have witnessed a diversification of integrity threats over the years, and it is necessary to put appropriate measures in place," Krannich said.

"We are excited to partner with FIB and provide our technology and industry-leading expertise to support their integrity programme in the years ahead."

Sportradar is credited with helping to identify more than 8,000 suspicious sports matches over more than 18 years, leading to 700 sporting sanctions and 77 criminal convictions.

As part of the FIB agreement, its team are set to monitor the bandy betting market for any irregularities and alert the governing body of any suspected match-fixing.

Hosts Sweden won the men's and women's titles at the FIB World Championships earlier this month, with another of the sport's traditional powerhouses Russia unable to take part because of the war in Ukraine.
