ANDY JENKINS has been banned for ELEVEN years and fined more than £17,000 for match-fixing.
A Darts Regulation Authority (DRA) disciplinary committee found the 54-year-old guilty of fixing 12 matches he was involved in between February 2022 and July 2023.
The ban, which has been backdated to November 2023, will prevent him from playing in or being involved in any way with any DRA event until 15 November 2034.
‘Rocky’ had denied match-fixing but admitted placing 88 bets on matches between March 2022 and May 2023.
Former World Championship semi-finalist Jenkins has also been ordered to pay costs of £17,580.03 and has until May 6 2025 to appeal the decision.
John Pierce, director of enforcement at the Gambling Commission, which worked with the DRA on the case, said: “This case sends a strong and unequivocal message to all sportspeople – if you fix matches, you are likely to be caught and face serious consequences.
“Betting customers in Britain deserve confidence that the markets they engage with are fair and free from corruption.
“Our sports betting intelligence unit will continue to work closely with partners such as the Darts Regulation Authority to identify and prevent match-fixing.”
