Ontario reinstates UFC betting
| By Robert Fletcher
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) announced that licensed sports betting operators in the Canadian province can resume processing wagers on Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) events with immediate effect.
Last month, the AGCO ordered all operators to stop taking bets on the UFC due to integrity concerns amid reports of suspicious betting patterns in other jurisdictions.
Since this announcement, the AGCO has been actively engaged with regulated entities and stakeholders as they worked to address the issues. This in turn led to the UFC updating its own policies and procedures.
