The Handbook on Alert and Surveillance system provides useful and easily accessible tools to strengthen the responsiveness of National Platforms to all forms of manipulation, whether or not related to sports betting. The Handbook ensures a common "language", a base-line understanding for operational stakeholders that ensures efficient and fast communication between relevant stakeholders when there is an immediate risk of competition manipulation. It provides a four-level classification of unusual and potentially suspicious activities and suggests corresponding internal work procedures as well as recommendations for secure and encrypted communication with relevant external stakeholders.
The Secretariat of the Macolin Convention, with the contribution of Oxford Research and Captivate – Legal and Sports Solutions, has produced a comprehensive account to date of the main public and private bodies / organisations working against the sports manipulations phenomenon entitled “Mapping of Actors involved in Fighting the Manipulation of Sports Competition”.
MotivAction - an evolving toolbox to foster reporting of competition manipulation
MotivAction - an evolving toolbox to foster reporting of competition manipulation
MotivAction is the first project developed by and for national platforms committed to tackling the manipulation of sports competitions. Led jointly by the platforms of Bulgaria, Cyprus, France, Greece, Moldova, Poland, and Portugal, it supports members of the Group of Copenhagen wishing to establish or strengthen reporting systems for athletes, referees, and coaches.
The MotivAction evolving toolbox provides legal, technical, and communication guidance, as well as practical examples of awareness and reporting campaigns implemented across Europe.
Reports represent the most effective way to identify manipulation networks and safeguard the integrity of sport.
The Guidebook was developed during the Keep Crime Out of Sport (KCOOS) project that was co-financed by the European Union and the Council of Europe and run from 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2017. The Guidebook aims at delivering clarification on the basic concepts and insights into various areas of challenges that are key to the fight against the manipulation of sports competitions. It also illustrates the importance of States in coordinating the efforts and actions of their national stakeholders, while encouraging national and transnational co-operation.
