Monitoring and suspicious activity

We monitor wagering activity for unusual patterns and report suspicious betting activity to the relevant integrity body. Markets may be suspended at the trading desk’s discretion during an integrity incident.

Insider information

Insider information means information about an event or a participant that is not generally available to the public and that, if it were generally available, could reasonably be expected to affect the outcome of the event or the price of a market. It includes (without limitation) confidential information about team selection, injuries, withdrawals, tactics, the condition of a runner or competitor, or any arrangement to influence an event, that a person holds because of a position, role or relationship.

Using insider information to place a wager, or passing it to another person for that purpose, is prohibited and may be an offence under sport-integrity rules and applicable law. Wagers connected with the misuse of insider information may be voided and referred to the relevant integrity body.

Reporting a concern

Suspected match-fixing, corruption or other integrity issues can be reported in confidence to integrity@palmerbat.com. Reporters may remain confidential.
