Game-fixing refers to the act of dishonestly manipulating a game's outcome to gain an unfair advantage. It is considered illegal in most professional sports. There are several synonyms for game-fixing, including match-fixing, game manipulation, sports corruption, sporting fraud, and sports betting fraud. These terms are often used interchangeably but essentially refer to the same unethical act. Match-fixing and game manipulation typically refer to intentional manipulation of a single match, while sports corruption and sporting fraud are broader terms that encompass various forms of corruption within the sport. Regardless of the term used, game-fixing, and other related forms of misconduct are detrimental to the integrity of a sport and can result in significant punishments for those involved.
