From 20 – 22 January 2025, ICE will be bringing together the entire gaming industry over three days of networking and education in Barcelona.

On Tuesday, Co-founder and Partner, John Hagan will moderate a panel at the World Regulatory Briefing on Betting on the Future: A United Team on Sports Integrity.

Following a historic summer of sporting success at the Olympics, Wimbledon and Euros, and with the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, the focus on match fixing and sport integrity continues to grow, fuelled by media reports of high-profile athletes placing wagers on their sport and criminal involvement in the manipulation of fair play and other forms of corruption, damaging public perception. Featuring representatives from major sports leagues and betting industry experts, this session will address the nature and scale of the issue, the reputational and economic impact, and how stakeholders can work together to prevent match fixing and build a sustainable betting market.

 John will be joined by the following panellists:

• Angela Celestino, Intelligence Manager – UEFA
• Dieter Braekeveld, Intelligence and Investigations Manager – International Olympic Committee
• Luke Saunders, Vice President Commercial – OpenBet
• Matt Fowler, Head of Global Operations – International Betting Integrity Association
