Illegal offshore betting websites offer wagers on U.S. college soccer games

Offshore betting websites are offering risky, prop bets on amateur college soccer despite the NCAA trying to prevent this, a team of reporters found in a story for Soccer America. Unlike regulated operators, offshore operators do not report suspicious betting movements that can indicate manipulation, so these bets are the perfect place for potential match-fixers to place bets on games they corrupted. With support from the Fund, Steve Menary, Jack Kerr, Samindra Kunti and Philippe Auclair researched the story during the NCAA college soccer season; the NCAA said it was not aware of the illegal offshore betting until the team uncovered it.
