Although Anderson said there was no evidence of any corrupt behaviour from one of the six AFL figures who were given sanctions on Wednesday for placing bets on AFL matches and events, he could not guarantee that there weren't any outstanding matters.
"We will continue to be diligent about making sure we put in place every step we reasonably can to protect the integrity of our game," he said at AFL House on Wednesday evening.
"We will continue to [ensure] that every player's details have been checked against every bookmaker in the competition and every AFL official has been checked with every bookmaker in the competition.
"So yes, I can be confident those checks have been done, but there is a lot more to protecting the integrity of the game than just relying on those checks."
Port Adelaide assistant coach Matthew Primus has been given a two-match ban and AFL goal umpire Chris Appleton has been suspended for the rest of the 2010 season.
AFL interchange stewards Wayne Siekman and John Wise have also been stood down for the rest of the 2010 season. And AFL timekeeper Matthew Hollington has been given a five-week penalty and Western Bulldogs director Geoff Walsh has been fined $7500.
Anderson said the reaction of the six men was without exception "one of remorse, embarrassment and regret", and he couldn't stress enough that AFL players, coaches and officials could not bet on AFL matches.
"I would've thought that it was pretty clear following 2007 what the AFL stance is on this," he said.
In that year four players - Crows skipper Simon Goodwin, Kangaroo David Hale, Swan Kieren Jack and Demon Daniel Ward - were fined for gambling on matches.
"It's a disappointment to see these bets come through, but what it does show is that the arrangements that we've put in place and the role our integrity services manager is helping us to make sure that we ensure compliance with our rules."
"We place AFL officials on a higher standard than what we require from the rest of the competition."
Anderson said it was only because of the AFL's arrangements with every major bookmaker that the AFL was able to access this information.
"We would not know about a lot of these instances unless we had put in place information sharing agreements with the bookmakers. That enables us to protect the competition," he said.
"They must tell us if any AFL player, coach or official bets on the AFL and it's a result of those agreements that most of this information has come to light."
Anderson said gambling was an issue for all sports worldwide, hence the AFL's vigilant stance.
"We, the AFL, take it extremely seriously and our obligation is to protect the integrity of the competition," he said.
