Integrity Compliance 360 (IC360) and Novig announced an expanded partnership on October 19, 2026, under which Novig will use IC360 technology across market surveillance, prohibited trading, national self-exclusion and athlete harassment controls on its federally regulated, 21 and over exchange, according to the IC360 announcement. iGaming Business reported the expanded deal the same day, on October 19, 2026.
The new element is a Bad Actor registry. Novig is integrating IC360's ProhiTrade Bad Actor technology to combat threats and harassment directed at athletes, coaches, referees and sports organizations, the announcement said. Confirmed offenders and fraudsters are added to a centralized, encrypted registry shared across participating platforms in the Bad Actor network, and Signify, a social media protection provider, is collaborating with IC360 to verify and detect bad actors, according to the announcement. Platforms in the network can then identify those individuals and restrict trading privileges for users who violate Novig's zero tolerance policy against athlete abuse and violence.
Novig is also one of two active exchanges currently using IC360's centralized self-exclusion site, selfexclude.io, according to the announcement. Through the platform, users can initiate a cooling off period that restricts their trading activity across participating prediction markets, rather than only on a single venue, the announcement said.
The rest of the suite covers insider risk. IC360's market surveillance and alerting engine identifies real time anomalies and flags vulnerable or compromised markets, and its ProhiTrade prohibited trading technology lets Novig check its customer base against a secure and encrypted list of covered persons, including athletes, coaches, officials and other stakeholders restricted from trading on specific markets, so that people with access to insider information or the ability to manipulate outcomes can be kept from trading restricted event contracts, according to the announcement.
"Sports markets only work if people trust them," said Jacob Fortinsky, Co-Founder and CEO of Novig, in the announcement. "That means keeping people with inside information from trading, giving users more control over their trading activity, and making clear that people who threaten or harass athletes shouldn't be able to trade on our platform." Scott Sadin, Co-CEO of IC360, said in the announcement that Novig, in adopting a full suite of IC360 services, is "elevating standards across the entire ecosystem," and pointed to its commitment to centralized self-exclusion and the Bad Actor program.
The expansion builds on an earlier deal. IC360 and Novig first partnered on December 15, 2025, when Novig adopted IC360's Alerting Engine and ProhiTrade to build a prohibited trading framework, according to the December 2025 announcement. The October 19, 2026 expansion adds the Bad Actor registry with Signify and formalizes Novig's place in the centralized self-exclusion hub. The timing also sits next to a league move: last week the NBA and its official sportsbook partners unveiled prop and parlay restrictions aimed at match manipulation risk, and iGaming Business noted on October 19, 2026 that those restrictions apply to participating sportsbooks, with no equivalent restrictions on prediction markets.
Analysis: this is voluntary infrastructure doing work that, on the sportsbook side, is increasingly being imposed. The NBA restrictions reported last week bind sportsbooks by agreement; Novig, a federally regulated exchange that sued Missouri officials on October 16, 2026 to block state enforcement against its sports contracts, is instead buying surveillance, insider lists, a shared bad actor registry and cross platform self-exclusion from a vendor. The two facts that matter most are structural: the Bad Actor registry is shared across participating platforms, so a ban can travel between venues, and Novig is one of only two active exchanges in the centralized self-exclusion hub, which means cross venue self-exclusion in prediction markets is still a two exchange arrangement, not an industry standard. Watch whether other exchanges join the self-exclusion hub, whether the Bad Actor registry is ever reported to have removed a trader, and whether leagues treat vendor controls like these as a substitute for the direct restrictions they negotiated with sportsbooks.
