Details

This book presents a rigorous interdisciplinary examination of the evolving relationships between sport, betting, and crime—now widely regarded as the most significant threat to the integrity and sustainability of modern sport. It provides a critical framework for understanding how these forces interact in an increasingly globalised and digitally mediated sporting and sport betting ecosystem.

Despite being routinely described as the greatest threat to contemporary sport, competition manipulation remains poorly defined, and successive institutional and political attempts to clarify the phenomenon have failed to achieve conceptual precision and practical coherence. Too often, it is argued, efforts to promote and protect sport integrity have been reduced to the prevention of sport betting fraud. This book is the first monograph to interrogate a broad range of real-world integrity conflicts arising where sport converges with global online betting markets. Combining economic, philosophical, and political analysis, it develops a comprehensive account of the structural, ethical, and policy challenges defining this new sport–integrity-betting ecosystem.

The book is written for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working in sports ethics, sports management, criminology, sport governance, sport sociology and political science related with sport issues, as well as those in the betting and regulatory sectors seeking a deeper conceptual understanding of contemporary sport integrity threats.
