A few notable sports that were listed on US sports betting apps include Belarus soccer, darts, and Ukrainian table tennis. But the unexpected attention on the sports — and increased betting on the action — resulted in match-fixing concerns.<\/p>\n

Last week, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement told state sportsbooks to suspend betting on all table tennis matches in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“While there is not yet any evidence that any match-fixing occurred in New Jersey, due to 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,” the notice explained.<\/p>\n
