AGCO bars Ontario sportsbooks from taking bets on WBA-sanctioned boxing
Ontario’s Alcohol and Gaming Commission said sportsbooks in the province may not accept bets on World Boxing Association-sanctioned fights after an investigation into alleged irregularities involving a December 2023 bout. The AGCO said the bets did not meet the Registrar’s Standards for Internet Gaming and that wagering could resume once adequate safeguards were confirmed.
Ontario sportsbooks must withhold WBA-sanctioned fights until the AGCO confirms adequate safeguards, affecting market availability and compliance.
