The Independent Betting Adjudication Service (IBAS), founded in 1998, is a third party organisation that settles disputes between gambling establishments registered with IBAS and their customers in the United Kingdom. The organisation, which was originally part of the Sporting Life's Green Seal service, was formerly known as the Independent Betting Arbitration Service. The Service dropped Arbitration from its name in 2007, opting instead to use Adjudication to better reflect its role after the enactment of the 2005 Gambling Act.
IBAS deals with several sectors in the realm of gambling. The sectors include:
- Betting Exchanges
- Betting Intermediaries
- Betting Shops
- Bingo Clubs
- Greyhounds
- Greyhound Stadia Pool Betting
