Ukrainian football body warns bookmakers
The Football Federation of Ukraine (FFU) has issued a warning notice to bookmakers. The organisation has been strengthening the efforts to minimise the impact of gambling on football. FFU has so far identified 30 clubs and judges as vulnerable entities per person to match fixing.
FFU announced that it is considering a ban on the transfer of information about the U17 tournaments to bookmakers.
Previously, the FFU had already blocked the transfer of statistics to bookmakers in tournaments for players under 18 years of age. This practice led to the fact that bookmakers did not have the opportunity to offer bets on such competitions, which in turn positively affected the number of fake games in junior football leagues.
But this August it appeared that matches in the tournament in honour of V. Bannikov were offered by some betting companies for bets. In connection with this episode, FFU expressed an intention to provide the legal regulation to statistics data transfer from football tournaments to representatives of bookmakers.
If bookmakers operating in Ukraine fail to follow new rules, FFU will take measures to completely prohibit the bets on the competitions that are held under the aegis of the FFU.
