Overview
- Andy Jenkins, a former PDC World Championship semi-finalist, has been banned from DRA events until November 2034 and fined £17,580 for match-fixing offenses.
- The DRA disciplinary committee determined that Jenkins fixed 12 Modus Super Series matches between February 2022 and July 2023.
- Jenkins admitted to placing 88 bets on matches, including his own, and passing insider information to bettors, leading to an additional 12 months added to his suspension.
- The ruling follows earlier bans for fellow darts players Prakash Jiwa (8 years) and Jack Main (2 years) as part of a broader crackdown on match-fixing in the sport.
- John Pierce, Gambling Commission enforcement director, emphasized that the case serves as a strong deterrent against corruption in professional sports.
