2–3 April 2025
A WLA/ULIS/CoE Event

Location: Gatineau, Quebec, Canada

All continents face common challenges with the manipulation of sports competitions and issues linked to their rapidly growing sports betting markets.

With the continued expansion of online sports betting in North America, it is important to ensure the appropriate framework and regulations are in place, to reduce the risk of the manipulation of sports competitions, money laundering, and the increase of illegal betting.

The Council of Europe’s project: Addressing Competitions Manipulation Together (ACT), will hold a two-day event from 2-3 April at the Casino du Lac-Leamy, Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, on the theme of Combating the manipulation of sports competitions and illegal betting.

This event is hosted by Loto-Québec and supported by the WLA and the United Lotteries for Integrity in Sports (ULIS).

Experts will discuss key challenges related to sports competition manipulation and illegal betting and provide participants with an overview of diverse approaches to address these issues, including: measures to facilitate international and national cooperation between public authorities (law enforcement and justice), sports organizations, gambling regulators and betting operators.

We look forward to seeing you in Canada.
