Ontario lifts ban on betting following changes to UFC code of conduct

Betting on UFC events is once again allowed in the province of Ontario. On Thursday, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) announced it had reinstated betting following a suspension that went into effect on December 1, 2022, because of “concerns about non-compliance with AGCO’s betting integrity requirements.”

The December action by the AGCO came on the heels of betting irregularities surrounding a November 5 UFC bout between the James Krause-coached Darrick Minner and Shayilan Nuerdanbieke. The betting and injury disclosure issues around that fight resulted in the Nevada State Athletic Commission suspending Krause, Minner and Jeff Molina pending the results of investigations.
