Danny Baggish suspended by the DRA over match-fixing allegations in the MODUS Super Series

Danny Baggish has been suspended by the Darts Regulation Authority over allegations of match-fixing in the MODUS Super Series.

Baggish participated in Season 14 of the MODUS Super Series in Portsmouth last month, qualifying for Finals Night, however he was pulled from the schedule at short notice, with the event organisers citing ‘circumstances outside of their control’.

It is believed suspicious betting patterns were flagged in matches involving Baggish, specifically relating to the 180 markets.

On May 2nd, DRA Chairman Nigel Mawer took the decision to suspend Baggish from attending or competing in DRA governed events whilst an investigation is conducted into suspicious betting on the ‘no 180s’ markets on matches that he played in the Modus Super Series.

MODUS Super Series released the following statement on Tuesday:

‘MODUS Super Series acknowledges today’s announcement by the Darts Regulation Authority regarding the suspension of Danny Baggish pending an investigation into an alleged breach of betting integrity regulations.

‘We are cooperating fully with the DRA throughout its investigation. As is standard, we will not comment on the substance of an active regulatory matter.

‘The integrity of the sport is fundamental to MODUS Super Series — as a tournament organiser, as a broadcaster, and as a partner to the wider darts ecosystem. We support the DRA in its role of safeguarding that integrity.

‘No further comment will be issued until the DRA’s process is concluded.’

Former PDC Tour Card holder Baggish has vowed to appeal the suspension, posting on social media: ‘I have obviously been battling this ongoing allegation. I won’t say anything just yet but I won’t lay down over assumption. That is all! I’m ok with the messages and questions. I have nothing to hide! Thank you!’

Baggish clinched a PDC Tour Card in dramatic fashion at Qualifying School in 2021 and competed in three PDC World Championships, notably reaching the Third Round in 2020/21.

The 42-year-old dropped off the PDC circuit in 2023 before making his playing return this year following the tragic death of his son Truen in 2025 after a battle with Leukaemia.
