New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement Bans Betting on Ukrainian Table Tennis
The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement has decided to prohibit betting on table tennis events in Ukraine and any matches involving six named Ukrainian players, after reports of alleged match-fixing.
The Sports Wagering Integrity Monitoring Association warned New Jersey authorities on July 7 of match-fixing concerns regarding Ukrainian table tennis.
The notice read: “While there is not yet any evidence that any match fixing occurred in New Jersey, due the nature of the alert, the Division is suspending approval for wagering on all table tennis events in the Ukraine, including but not limited to the Setka Cup, WIN Cup, and TT Cup.”
Offering betting on matches involving Liliia Zaitseva, Ivan Gaysin, Karen Dzhanibekyan, Eduard Panichev, Anastasia Efimova, and Gleb Zotov is also prohibited, regardless of location, according to the notice.
