OPINION: With no laws against match-fixing in Canada, the next big sports betting scandal could erupt north of the border

Criminal and banned betting activity in American sports leagues is already sounding alarm bells. But for all the problematic—and mostly poorly regulated—activity in the U.S., the next gambling bombshell could drop from our neighbor to the north.

Despite its relatively small population of 39 million, Canada is a big gambling nation. Canadians legally wager more than $20 billion a year on sports, according to the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport. They spend another $10 billion with illegal bookies. Yet amid this thirst for sports betting, there are no laws on the books explicitly banning match-fixing, warn sports betting experts.

Take the case of Jontay Porter, the disgraced NBA journeyman who in July pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy in connection to his involvement in an illegal betting scheme.
