Two Canadian provinces have banned betting on UFC fights in the last two days. First it was Ontario, and now Alberta has done the same thing. On Thursday, The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) prohibited gambling on UFC fights citing potential ‘insider betting and suspicious betting patterns.’ “In recent weeks, the AGCO has learned of publicized alleged incidents, including possible betting by UFC insiders, as well as reports of suspicious betting patterns in other jurisdictions,” an AGCO statement read. “Therefore, the AGCO is now taking this step in the public interest. AGCO has indicated to operators that, once the necessary remedial steps have been taken, they may provide information demonstrating that UFC bets or betting products meet the Registrar’s Standards.” On Friday, The Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) also announced that they have banned wagering on UFC bouts.
