ULIS Elects Jean-Luc Moner-Banet as President
Reading Time: 2 minutes
United Lotteries for Integrity in Sports (ULIS) has entered a new chapter of leadership with the election of Jean-Luc Moner-Banet as President and the appointment of a new Executive Committee during its General Meeting in Bern, Switzerland. This transition builds on the organization’s record of achievement while preparing to address the challenges and opportunities of the constantly evolving global sports betting ecosystem.
With more than three decades of experience in the lottery sector, Jean-Luc Moner-Banet brings a wealth of expertise and a global perspective to his new role. His career at Loterie Romande, one of Switzerland’s two state-authorised lotteries, began in 1998. Rising through the ranks, he was appointed Deputy Director General in 2001 and has served as CEO since 2007. Prior to this, he worked for ten years in various roles for gaming industry suppliers.
Moner-Banet has long been a prominent advocate for integrity and good governance on the international stage. From 2012 to 2018, he served as President of the World Lottery Association (WLA), driving global initiatives to strengthen standards for security and transparency. Since 2009, he has been serving in leadership roles at European Lotteries (EL), including his current position as Supervisory Chair of the Sport & Sport Integrity Working Group. In 2019, he took up his role as Chair of the WLA Betting Integrity on Sports & Horse Racing Committee (BISHRC), established to preserve the integrity of sport by leading the fight against match-fixing and illegal betting.
He was also a founding father of the European Lottery Monitoring System (ELMS), the first cooperative platform enabling European lotteries to monitor betting activities and detect irregularities. Under his leadership, ELMS expanded and evolved into the Global Lottery Monitoring System (GLMS), extending its scope to a worldwide level. In 2022, GLMS became United Lotteries for Integrity in Sports (ULIS), reflecting an even broader mission: uniting state-authorised lotteries across the globe in the protection of sport integrity against the threats of competition manipulation and illegal betting.
Jean-Luc Moner-Banet said: “It is a great honor to take on the responsibility of leading ULIS at a time of technological transformation that impacts our sports betting lottery community. As President, I am committed to driving forward new partnerships, innovative initiatives, and ensuring that ULIS continues to set the global standard for integrity in sports. This is an opportunity to strengthen the lotteries’ collective impact on our industry, and I am ready to make it happen.”
The Newly Elected Executive Committee
At the General Meeting, the mandate of the newly elected ULIS Executive Committee was confirmed for a three-year term, running until 2028. The ULIS Executive Committee comprises:
Jean-Luc Moner-Banet (President) – CEO, Loterie Romande, Switzerland
Chris Lo (Vice-President) – Head of Trading, The Hong Kong Jockey Club, Hong Kong, China
Chee Weng Lam – CEO, Singapore Pools, Singapore
Louis Beaudet – Sports and Entertainment Betting Director, Loto-Québec, Canada
Antoine Beghin – Director of Sponsorship & Sports Integrity, La Française des Jeux, France
Younes El Mechrafi – CEO, Marocaine des Jeux et des Sports (MDJS), Morocco
Ales Vesely – CEO, SAZKA a.s., Czech Republic
Lemeng Wang – Board Director, China Sports Lottery Operation Co., Ltd., China.
ULIS extends its gratitude to outgoing President Gilles Maillet and the 2023-2025 Executive Committee members for their leadership and remarkable legacy. During their tenure, significant milestones were accomplished, including the launch of EDULIS, the ULIS Educational Programme; a state-of-the-art monitoring platform for sports betting integrity; and the expansion of the organisation’s collaborations with international stakeholders and sports organisations, such as UEFA, and CONMEBOL, while developing ULIS’s presence in Latin America.

Betfred Launches Checkd Dev’s Automated Betting System to Strengthen Football Betting Offering
Checkd Dev, part of the award-winning Checkd Group and a leading iGaming technology provider, has signed a multi-year agreement to supply its Automated Betting System (ABS) to UK bookmaker Betfred, introducing new levels of efficiency and engagement to pre-match football accumulator betting.
Through the partnership, Betfred has launched a suite of pre-configured, one-click accumulator bets, powered by Checkd Dev’s ABS technology and seamlessly integrated with Betfred’s proprietary pricing.
The solution enhances the customer betting journey while equipping Betfred’s trading team with a robust backend platform to streamline bet creation, management, and settlement. Customers benefit from football bets that are dynamically assigned probabilities based on historic form, providing greater insight and confidence in their selections.
The launch of ABS reinforces Betfred’s reputation as an industry innovator, offering customers smarter, faster, and more engaging betting experiences.
Checkd Dev has refined its ABS user interface through deployments with multiple tier-one operators. Betfred has further strengthened the proposition by integrating its competitive Acca Flex bonus offer, available from launch. Customers can access additional bonuses if their bet wins, while also benefiting from a money-back guarantee if a single leg loses.
Since its introduction two years ago, Checkd Dev’s ABS has evolved from a statistics-driven tool to increase operator conversion rates into a comprehensive system designed to meet the growing demand for automated, pre-configured betting products, powered by the company’s proprietary BRUNO platform.
This agreement extends Checkd Dev’s recent growth trajectory, following high-profile partnerships with William Hill on a fully automated, stats-powered Bet Builder, and a three-year deal with OpenBet to launch a new Trending BetBuilder to market.
Andrew Grimshaw, Commercial Director at Checkd Dev, commented: “We are delighted to be working with fellow Mancunians Betfred on our Trending Bets product. More and more major bookmakers are recognising the tangible value of our automated betting solutions, and it is especially gratifying to collaborate with a local partner on this launch.”
Mark Hartley, Head of Product at Betfred, added: “Since moving onto our propriety platform, we’ve been able to bring new ideas to market much faster. This partnership with Checkd Dev is a great example, helping us solve a simple problem for football fans: researching and building an accumulator can sometimes feel like hard work!
“With one-click, data-driven selections we’ve made the process quicker and easier, while still giving customers the choice and depth they want. Accas are already one of our most compelling propositions, thanks to our popular promotion Acca Flex, and this launch makes them even more engaging. We’re also looking forward to exploring further opportunities to work with Checkd Dev in the future.”
