(PRESS RELEASE) -- Integrity Compliance 360, the global technology and advisory platform for integrity and regulatory solutions in sports, sports betting, and iGaming, is proud to build on its comprehensive partnership with the Big East Conference. This collaboration provides the conference and its member institutions with a state-of-the-art suite of tools designed to uphold the highest standards of competition through advanced monitoring, prohibited bettor technology, and bespoke digital education.
Building upon the conference’s existing use of IC360’s Integrity Monitoring services, the Big East is further bolstering its dedication to integrity by adding ProhiBet and a comprehensive Digital Education platform. While the BIG EAST continues to utilize the customized Integrity Monitoring Dashboard for real-time oversight and suspicious activity alerts across all sanctioned events, these new layers provide an all-encompassing approach to compliance and prevention.
The implementation of ProhiBet offers a secure solution to prevent prohibited individuals—including athletes, coaches, and staff—from engaging in sports wagering. Using a unique one-way hashing technology architecture, schools can privately manage lists of prohibited bettors while ensuring that personally identifiable information remains secure on their own secure networks. The system generates automated alerts when a prohibited individual attempts to place a wager, allowing for immediate administrative follow-up.
To empower stakeholders in an evolving regulatory landscape, the Big East is deploying IC360’s customized e-learning platform. Moving beyond basic compliance, this immersive curriculum exceeds NCAA standards by delivering tailored, league-specific modules that turn complex policies into actionable knowledge and allow administrators to track progress through digital certification. The Big East is ensuring that every athlete and administrator is not just informed, but fully equipped to protect the integrity of their events.
"We are pleased to announce our enhanced partnership with IC360," said Vince Nicastro, Big East Deputy Commissioner and Chief Operating Officer. "The integrity of our competitions and the well-being of our participants remain of utmost importance. In the rapidly changing sports gambling industry, the partnership now allows us to not only provide best-in-class integrity monitoring of Big East competitions but to offer robust educational resources and proactive deterrence and detection systems to our schools."
"We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with the Big East Conference and expand the suite of tools available to its member institutions,” said Scott Sadin, COO of IC360. The Big East's proactive commitment to integrity monitoring, prohibited betting deterrence, and education powerfully demonstrates its commitment to protecting its student-athletes and competitions. The regulated sports betting ecosystem is constantly evolving and expanding. This kind of comprehensive, multi-layered engagement isn't just commendable, it's essential."
