illegal betting

Qatar-based International Centre for Sports Security (ICSS) recently released a report warning governments about the threat of illegal sports betting. The ICSS, in partnership with Sarbonne University, looked at data on tax havens, legal and illegal gambling, online betting and match fixing.

The international sports betting market is worth an estimated $280 billion to $680 billion. Fully 80 percent of sports betting is considered illegal gambling. Sports betting is also used by organised crime to launder more than $140 billion annually.

Below is an infographic that summarises the key points of the report.
