University of St. Thomas Partners with ProhiBet to Enhance Sports Integrity

The University of St. Thomas has entered into a partnership with ProhiBet, utilizing its advanced encrypted decentralized cross-monitoring and notification platform.

This collaboration aims to safeguard sports integrity and ensure compliance with state-specific regulations, preventing certain individuals such as athletes, coaches, league officials, and administrative staff from engaging in prohibited sports wagering.

Integration and Educational Training

Alongside ProhiBet’s cross-monitoring solutions provided by IC360, the partnership includes digital educational training for all student-athletes, coaches, and administrative staff.

IC360’s proprietary e-learning platform features an audit tracking system, providing visibility into course progress and ensuring thorough educational compliance.

Statements from Leadership

Andrew Nelson, Associate Athletics Director of Development at St. Thomas, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: “I am very happy that St. Thomas is partnering with ProhiBet to aid with cross-monitoring and education of student-athletes, coaches, and administrative staff as it relates to sports wagering. Given the unprecedented levels of sports wagering in the United States and recent incidents involving both professional and collegiate participants, it is essential for colleges to proactively ensure compliance with NCAA rules and state laws. I can’t wait to get started with ProhiBet!”

Matt Heap, Managing Director of ProhiBet and former head of the Colorado Division of Gaming’s sportsbook operations, stated, “We are thrilled to partner with the University of St. Thomas. The combination of ProhiBet’s state-of-the-art encrypted data transfer system and UST’s dedication to upholding sports integrity will undoubtedly enhance the transparency and trustworthiness of sports betting activities.”
