The reason for the prohibition of all UFC wagers, according to ESPN, is “due to concerns about non-compliance with AGCO’s betting integrity requirements.” The AGCO did not specifically state any particular match or combatant that led to this decision. However, the UFC, Krause and others including recent competitor, are all under investigation by Las Vegas-based betting integrity firm U.S.
Since the investigations began, Krause or his representatives have subsequently deleted a pay-to-access Discord channel that issued betting advice, as well as his YouTube channel that featured betting content.”The Standards exist to protect the betting public and to provide the necessary safeguards against odds manipulation, match-fixing and other integrity issues. This is not a decision we take lightly, knowing the popularity of UFC events in Ontario’s sports books.
