Stats Perform, the leading sports data provider, has once again been confirmed as the recipient of the IBIA’s data standards accreditation. This independent certification from eCogra validates Stats Perform’s commitment to maintaining the highest levels of integrity and quality in sports data.
The IBIA launched the initiative in 2021 to ensure that betting data providers adhere to robust standards. By collecting high-integrity sports data, Stats Perform plays a crucial role in safeguarding sports and betting markets against corruption.
“As a long-term advocate for integrity and quality in sports data, we are proud to be the first company to receive the prestigious IBIA accreditation,” said Andrew Ashenden, Chief Betting Officer at Stats Perform.
This achievement reinforces the trust placed in Stats Perform’s Betting and Opta sports data by renowned sports federations, sportsbooks, and pricing providers. With the IBIA accreditation renewed for the third consecutive year, Stats Perform continues to deliver trusted experiences to millions of global sports bettors.
In addition to the IBIA accreditation, Stats Perform recently obtained the ISO 27001 certification for information security. This further exemplifies the company’s dedication to risk management and ensuring the utmost protection for its customers.
Khalid Ali, Chief Executive of IBIA, emphasized the value that leading sports data providers like Stats Perform see in the Data Standards accreditation. He highlighted the positive impact of these protocols on the sports betting environment.
Stats Perform sets an industry benchmark as the first sports data supplier to receive the IBIA accreditation. This recognition was granted in January 2021 after Stats Perform committed to adhering to the watchdog’s best practice standards.
Grid Esports, a prominent esports data business, also earned the IBIA Data Standards accreditation last year, further highlighting the significance and relevance of this certification in various sports sectors.
