Simplified, Streamlined Support
The power of technology in combination with investigative expertise can help protect multiple entities and individuals from the risks of illegal wagering. Every state has a different approach to sports betting, and keeping up with the laws and policies is tough. One state may permit in-person gambling while another allows for online wagering only. Another state may say its a violation of the NCAA code while in another it’s a felony. Even more challenging is the lengths at which bad actors will go to profit off gambling.
Expertise, Training & Resources
RealResponse and U.S. Integrity are focused on educating campus communities about what is considered illegal wagering and what’s not. With gaming apps on the rise, it’s easier than ever to participate in sports betting. This puts student-athletes, in particular, at greater personal risk if they don’t understand the gambling policies in their state and for their sport, or if they encounter a disgruntled bettor.
Our intercollegiate athletics solution helps student-athletes and college administrators navigate this complex, high risk area by providing education and resources.
Anonymous Communications
RealResponse and US Integrity came together to elevate the voices of the public with regards to gambling-related issues and to ensure sports betting integrity in every play, every game, and every sport.
Athlete Alert Powered by RealResponse is the only national tip line that allows the general public to anonymously report gambling-related issues. Any individual who has witnessed or is aware of illegal sports betting can report these concerns anonymously without fear of retaliation.
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. This new solution brings the capabilities and experience of U.S. Integrity and RealResponse together, to do just that.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I activate this solution?
Send an email request to your RealResponse Customer Success Manager. RealResponse will work with US Integrity to add its investigation account into your RealResponse portal.
What should be reported?
Individuals making threats to persons within an athletics program, offering monetary or other awards for a certain outcome or play style, or who keep their identity anonymous while attempting to contact people involved in an athletics program.
What happens after an anonymous report is sent through RealResponse to USI investigators?
Upon receiving a report from RealResponse, U.S. Integrity (USI) will convene internally to determine the best course of action. This decision will be based on the information provided in the initial report, our current agreement with the institution (which specifies whether the school will conduct the initial triage of reports or if USI will handle this responsibility), and the assessed threat of physical violence or harassment towards the institution, a member of the institution, or the reporting party.
