Giancarlo Sergi has devoted his life to sports. Starting out as a professional basketball player, he went on to work for UEFA and later ran his own sports consultancy serving mandates for FIFA, UEFA, and the IOC. As Board Member of FIBA Europe and President of Swiss Basketball, his passion for sports and his commitment to sports integrity led him to join GLMS as General Secretary in 2018, where he has been the driving force behind many of the associations initiatives since that time. In an informal conversation, we spoke to Giancarlo about the basic tenets of sports integrity and the common bonds that the world of sports and the lottery and sports betting sectors share.

The core purpose of the Global Lottery Monitoring System (GLMS) is to protect the integrity of sports competitions from the scourge of manipulation. Now in its sixth year of operation, the non-profit, member association has gained widespread recognition as a standard-bearer for the core values of sports, and has become a leading advocate of the good reputation of the world's state-authorized lottery and sports betting providers.
