RealResponse and U.S. Integrity Launch New Service to Safeguard Integrity of Competition

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Aug. 28, 2023 - PRLog -- RealResponse and U.S. Integrity (USI) today launched a fully integrated service exclusively for intercollegiate athletics to help protect students-athletes, as well as colleges and universities, from increased illegal gambling-related activity.

When a sports betting issue is raised, RealResponse's college athletics customers will now have access to USI's investigative support through the RealResponse platform. This new service is the fastest, most secure way for the more than 100,000 student-athletes currently using the platform to anonymously report the misuse of insider information, potential game manipulation, and physical threats helping to ensure the integrity of fair competition.

Institutions benefit from expertise on how best to navigate increased sports gambling activity at a critical juncture. When a report comes in through RealResponse, campus administrators can assign USI's collegiate response team – comprised of highly trained professionals in the wager-monitoring space – to assess, verify and route the report to appropriate authorities within minutes. The details:

• The new service is free for existing RealResponse collegiate clients and is now accessible within their respective internal portals.
• As an additional paid service, colleges and universities can establish an institution-branded external portal to allow anyone – from parents to friends to competitors – to report gambling-related issues.
• RealResponse and USI will support colleges and universities in educating their communities about the integration of their solutions.

"With the significant rise of easy-to-use online and mobile sports betting, the challenges to fair competition are immense and growing," said David Chadwick, founder and CEO of RealResponse. "Gambling is a major concern on college campuses—not just for student-athletes—and the potential harm to a student's mental health and physical well-being is great. This expanded partnership with USI delivers instant support to student-athletes through a channel they already trust with sharing their most pressing needs and concerns."

"Nothing is more important than protecting the health and wellbeing of the student-athletes who have committed their lives to competing at the highest levels, while simultaneously pursuing a higher education," said U.S. Integrity Co-Founder and CEO Matthew Holt. "This new solution brings the capabilities and experience of U.S. Integrity and RealResponse together, to do just that."

In May 2023, RealResponse and U.S. Integrity launched "Athlete Alert Powered by RealResponse," the only national tip line (https://www.usintegrity.com/tip-line) that allows the public to anonymously report gambling-related issues.
