According to the findings, an Asian crime syndicate was, in liaison with European rings, engaging in match fixing that resulted in more than 380 rigged games. More than 425 individuals came under close scrutiny, the number comprising match officials, club officials, players and criminals.

The Singapore-based criminal organization was taking advantage of it being located where an overwhelming number of bets are made: the East Asian Market, one that lacks the strict regulations set in Europe. Thus, it very often happens that profiteers connect with Western facilitators to bribe players, coaches, referees and club owners. In this case it was a total of 2 million Euros, with the highest sum paid to an individual reaching 140,000 Euros.

In exchange for this “investment”, the ring made 8 million Euros in profits after placing 16 million Euros worth of bets on fixed matches.

To make matters worse, two of those events were Champions League games (one of them played in the UK) and a number of others were World Cup or European Championship qualifiers. Rob Wainwright, the director of Europol, refused to give out the identity of the match staged in the UK due to “ongoing judicial proceedings”. He added that this country was not under particular examination but warned against complacency on the part of those in the UK. The magnitude of the investigation was underlined; apparently being the biggest-ever concerning rigged matches in Europe and revealing most appalling facts.

UEFA has yet to assess the full impact of this sports catastrophe, but its officials guaranteed close collaboration with the Europol in order to bring justice upon those responsible.

Such an action would be more than helpful for betting agencies that operate within the scope of laws and regulations and too often find themselves ripped off by profit-greedy criminal syndicates. To no surprise, most of the bets were placed at IBCBET and SBOBET – the two prominent Asian bookmakers.

We have just received information from Pinnacle Sports that there is a bug in the system considering the betting stake.

The stake you are betting is considered the amount you are willing to lose regardless of what the odd type is.

Example for Malay odds:
if you bet 100 at odds -0.80, in case the bet is won you gain 125, if the bet is lost you lose 100

Example for Indo odds:
if you bet 100 at odds -1.25, in case the bet is won you gain 80, if the bet is lost you lose 100

Example for American odds:
if you bet 100 at odds -125, in case the bet is won you gain 80, if the bet is lost you lose 100

The error is going to be fixed within 1-2 days maximum – we are very sorry for any inconvenience caused!

Take a look at the preview below to get the idea how this works:

Between April 13, 2001 and October 18, 2012, the defendants conspired to acquire money illegaly through an unlawful gambling enterprise involving websites that accepted bets. The operation is accused of accepting over $50 million during its activity. Pinnacle Sports owners Stanley Tomchin, Brandt England and George Molsbarger were all included in the indictment.

The Nevadada Gambling Control Board issued a press release, uncovering a joint investigation with the New York Police Department that led to multiple arrests. The director of Cantor Gaming and the manager of the M Resort’s race and sports book in Las Vegas, Mike Colbert, was among them.

Pinnacle Sports assures that no employees have been either arrested or charged and the company itself was not charged in the indictment. No interruption in the bookmaker’s activity is to be expected.
