Some operators do not find any issues in directly sharing betting data with the Sports Governing Bodies (SGB) requesting it directly from them. However, other operators may only accept to exchange that data via the regulator alone. Having said that, whenever the MGA corresponds a request for information (RFI) to the industry, the data being requested from the operators would then be transferred securely to the SGB only when an SGB submits a formal RFI to the MGA confirming that the data is being requested on the basis of an investigation into the potential manipulation of sports competitions.
