    About Us

    As a highly successful sports betting consultancy, Starlizard has devoted millions of hours to take our understanding of football into a completely different league. We use our understanding of the game and market know-how to provide our clients with a small edge over the market to generate long term winning returns.

    Starlizard Integrity Services provides sports integrity stakeholders (governing bodies, national associations, leagues and others) with specialist analytical assessments of both betting markets and on-pitch activity, in order to detect and advise on anomalies and integrity concerns.

    Starlizard demands excellence in all areas of its business process. Thinking and working practices cannot remain static in such a competitive and changing marketplace. As such, creativity and innovative ideas are highly prized alongside professionalism and disciplined rigour.
