Sumario:The aim of this research paper is to evaluate the use of blockchain technology to control fraud in sports betting, analysing its potential to combat possible problems, such as manipulation of results, fraud and lack of transparency. The methodology used is of a qualitative dogmatic-legal approach, as an analysis of the existing literature is carried out and the current positive law is interpreted in the light of the doctrine. The results reveal that the implementation of blockchain can create secure, decentralised and immutable environments that guarantee the transparency of transactions, highlighting the fundamental role of Smart Contracts in the automation of the fulfilment of obligations. Thus, it is concluded that it could be feasible to incorporate this technology as a mechanism to potentially ensure the legal security of transactions in the sports betting industry, contributing to create a more trustworthy and secure environment for users.
