Danny Baggish stands provisionally suspended by the Darts Regulation Authority over an allegation of match-fixing in the MODUS Super Series. No formal charge has been brought. No disciplinary committee has heard a word of evidence. The investigation is only days old. He stands accused, not convicted.
The American known on stage as The Gambler walked onto the Alexandra Palace stage in 2020 at 500-1 odds, beat Damon Heta in round one, and then produced a three-to-one upset of two-time world champion Adrian Lewis in front of a crowd that never saw it coming. He claimed a PDC Tour Card in 2021 as the only American to do so that year. He was the first American to qualify for a PDC European Tour event. Target Darts built a signature dart range around him.
Two weeks before his name appeared on the WDF’s disciplined players list, he had returned to European darts for the first time in years, fighting back tears after a victory that darts media covered as a comeback from personal tragedy. His young son had been diagnosed with leukemia in January 2025 and died in November 2025.
On Saturday the 2nd of May 2026, Baggish did not show up for the MODUS finals night he had qualified for. Nine days later, the DRA’s entry against his name went public. He is now the seventh player from the MODUS Super Series to face a disciplinary process in five years — and the question the next hearing will answer is whether he becomes the seventh ban, or the first acquittal in that group.
