Modern Slavery Statement

Last Updated: 27th March 2024

This Modern Slavery Statement is made pursuant to Section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that Sports Odds Guide has taken, and is continuing to take, to ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chain. Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking, and forced labour. Sports Odds Guide has a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery.

 

We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity and transparency in all business dealings and to putting effective systems and controls in place to safeguard against any form of modern slavery taking place within the business or our supply chain.

Our Business

Sports Odds Guide is a leading provider of sports betting information, including advice on bookmakers, betting guides, and tips. Our operations are primarily conducted online, and we are based in the United Kingdom. We are dedicated to delivering high-quality services to our users while maintaining the highest standards of ethics and compliance in all our business practices.

Our Supply Chains

Our supply chain includes the procurement of services primarily related to website maintenance, content creation, and marketing, from a variety of U.K. and international suppliers.

Our Policies

We operate several internal policies to ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner. These include:

This policy sets out the organisation’s stance on modern slavery and explains how employees can identify any instances of this and where they can go for help.

We operate a robust recruitment policy, including conducting eligibility to work in the UK checks for all employees to safeguard against human trafficking or individuals being forced to work against their will.

We encourage all our employees, customers, and suppliers to report any suspicion of slavery or human trafficking without fear of retaliation.

Due Diligence Processes for Slavery and Human Trafficking

As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk, we have:

  • Made our suppliers aware of our policies and have begun to introduce clauses in our contracts that obligate them to comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
  • Implemented a supplier code of conduct that establishes a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery.
  • Conducted due diligence on all new suppliers during onboarding to ensure they are compliant with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

Training

We regularly conduct training for our staff to ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business.

Our Effectiveness in Combating Slavery and Human Trafficking

We use the following key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure how effective we have been to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in any part of our business or supply chains:

  • Completion of house audits by the team responsible for compliance;
  • Use of labour monitoring and payroll systems; and
  • Level of communication and personal contact with the next link in the supply chain and their understanding of, and compliance with, our expectations.

This statement is made in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our slavery and human trafficking statement for the current financial year.
