The European Lotteries President Friedrich Stickler: “With the adoption of our Sport Charter today, EL’s members show that we stand united to defend the values of sport. It is our clear will to do this together with the sport movement. We recognise that match-fixing is perhaps the most serious threat to sport today, noting that in the past year alone, there have been more than 300 cases of match-fixing. There is a clear link to the proliferation of illegal gambling operators: of the 600 billion global sports betting market, one fourth is estimated to be illegal.”
