At the start of 2017 we welcomed two new operators into ESSA (888.com and BetStars), adding to the significant growth in our membership over the last 12 months, which now totals 25 of the world’s largest regulated operators. Significantly, this means we have a wider network monitoring betting markets; in the first quarter of 2017 this identified 27 alerts of suspicious betting activity. Tennis provided the highest number with 12 alerts, a position it has filled for nine consecutive quarterly reports.
