The Asian Racing Federation (ARF) has released a landmark report on "The State of Illegal Betting", which reveals an interconnected web between doping, animal welfare, race rigging, money laundering, money, and transnational economic crime (which may include illegal betting).
It is worth mentioning that the ARF is a regional federation comprising 27 national racing authorities and racing-related organizations from Asia, Oceania, Africa and the Middle East.
About the report, Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges, chairman of the Asian Racing Federation, highlights that “it is intended as a regular review of what is happening in regard to illegal betting and related financial crime so readers can understand the impact of this continued serious problem. Illegal betting is constantly evolving, and indeed growing, and hence regular fresh analysis of the negative impact of this phenomenon is needed.”
He also indicates that it is intended to help government policymakers, regulators, law enforcement officers, and those involved in the governance of horse racing and other sports. This, with the purpose of “comprehending the present scale, scope, and harm to society of illegal betting and related financial crime”, he added.
