@BdJcricket 1xBet will want a decent stream 😂

@BrazilShirtPod @SweeperPod @Tim_Vickery Only one local player because domestic league suspended, this seems to be overlooked by naysayers

@playthegame_org It must stop and so must the businesses that enable this to happen. U19 international friendly. Were all the players adults? 🧐 Who supplied the data? What institutions conveniently pretend this shocker did not happen and continue to work with that supplier?

The Top 5 betting operators attracting the most complaints from customers in 2025 at https://t.co/HOrLqENQsh are also major sponsors of sport, football and cricket in particular. Do those sports know? Do they care? Probably not

FIFA is embracing the betting industry with troubling consequences in a remorseless attempt to commercialise everything everywhere all at once- for @playthegame_org https://t.co/nBm5qHMElL

[Play the Game @playthegame_org]

FIFA’s growing ties to betting operators, prediction markets, and data companies are opening new integrity risks⚠️ Experts warn that football’s global body is commercialising betting opportunities faster than it can police them.

@eurofootcom Another good example perhaps of why multi club ownership is starting to shrink? https://t.co/5icLuaX66E

[Steve Menary @MenarySteve]

Has multi club ownership peaked? Number of linked clubs looks to have fallen for the first time … #MCO https://t.co/4aQICarsbC

4 games in English women’s Metro Cup cricket were available yesterday with a live stream in India, where betting is largely illegal, on 1xBet. Given clubs are ultimately responsible for this livestream, how is it getting there?

[Steve Menary @MenarySteve]

@Romain_Molina @africasacountry Great work Romain. Given there are these problems why does FIFA continue to enable betting on games in Burundi by streaming the games?

@coynejames @POB_journo @FRANCE24 These games all on illegal offshore betting markets too. Someone is there collecting and selling live data to offer Inplay bets

[Steve Menary @MenarySteve]

Kherson are playing Zaporizhzia and the game is available for in-play bets because someone is collecting and selling live data. Surely this is a problem?!

[Steve Menary @MenarySteve]

@PeterDellaPenna Maybe there wasn’t enough sponsorship from hooky offshore betting companies? https://t.co/SR6zIA1O43

[Steve Menary @MenarySteve]

@BdJcricket Illegal betting companies offering these games. Madness
