The terms of the agreement allow the RFL to access a greater level of information than they have previously been able to obtain from the betting industry.
It will be able to request information, which will identify individuals behind any activity that may have raised suspicions of corruption.
The Rugby Football League’s chief operating officer, Nigel Wood, said: “Whilst we do not believe inappropriate betting is a major problem in the sport, we feel it is important to take advantage of enhanced monitoring of the betting markets in order to prevent and discourage any persons considering such activity”.
The agreement will operate in a similar way to those previously agreed by Betfair with the Jockey Club, the ATP, the ICC, the FA, Cricket Australia, and the Darts Regulatory Authority.
