At nineteen years old, Wessel Nijman sat in front of a camera in his own home and threw a darts match on purpose. The International Betting Integrity Association had already detected it before he ever picked up a dart. When the investigators came, he admitted everything immediately — no denial, no excuse, no attempt to muddy the evidence.
That single decision is the reason he is the only player from the 2020 Modus match-fixing era who is still standing inside the top twenty-five of professional darts today.
Eleven years for Andy Jenkins. Ten years for Billy Warriner. Eight years for Leighton Bennett, Prakash Jiwa, and Kyle McKinstry. Seven years for Gilbert Ulang. Across the entire Modus-era enforcement record, Wessel Nijman stands alone as the single exception — the only player who rebuilt himself into a top-twenty-five professional. A Players Championship title in October 2024. A World Championship debut at Alexandra Palace. A PDC Tour Card. And a press conference where Joe Cullen won the match three-nil and still had to defend his own ranking against a returning match-fixer being made the pre-match favourite by bookmakers.
The fix in May 2020 is documented and permanent. What changes how you see Wessel Nijman is everything that came after the moment he told the truth.
