is a threat to football, to our industry, and to our company. It is our firm
belief that cooperation between all relevant stakeholders is the key to
eradicating this problem, and therefore, we are happy to team up with FIFA in
this battle. We operate under the see something, say something approach, and

integrity concern. This further supports our efforts in keeping the world of
sports, and our platform, free of criminal activity.”
