Darts star slapped with 11-year ban and huge fine for match-fixing
Darts player Andy Jenkins has been slapped with an 11-year ban from the sport after being convicted of match-fixing in no less than 12 Modus Super Series events. Alongside the lengthy ban, he’s been hit with a sizeable fine of £17,580. A Darts Regulation Authority (DRA) disciplinary committee found Jenkins guilty of fixing 12 Modus Super Series matches between 22 February 2022 and 5 July 2023. He was also found to have passed information on to bettors.
Despite denying the accusations of match-fixing, Jenkins admitted to placing 88 bets on various matches. The DRA added an extra 12 months to his suspension as a result. His ban, retrospectively effective since November 2023, stops him from participating or engaging in any capacity within DRA-sanctioned events until the date of 15 November 2034.
