"This is something we have to address," Rogge said. "The purpose of the IOC is to have a common approach to that with all international sports federations and the national Olympic committees. This is what we did in the fight against doping."
A report from Paul Condon, former head of the International Cricket Council's anti-corruption and security unit, was heard by the IOC on Wednesday.
Rogge said Condon advised sports bodies to enforce regulations against illegal betting and match-fixing, educate and monitor through alliances with betting companies.
"Bona fide betting companies can give us early warning of abnormal betting patterns," Rogge said, adding that a deal with a betting firm could be clinched before next year's Beijing Games if it were deemed necessary.
Condon earlier told reporters that despite the recent spate of match-fixing allegations the Olympics were not a high-risk target. He said athletes competing at the Games were “at the pinnacle of their careers” and therefore more unlikely to fix results.
"I think they (IOC) have made it clear that all participants in the Beijing Olympics are prohibited from betting on sports," he said.
