Arizona State Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts Commission Consumer Protection Alert: Warning of the Risk of Unsanctioned Events

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

The Arizona State Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts Commission (“the Commission”) has been made aware of an unsanctioned boxing event scheduled to take place on Sunday, June 15, 2025, in Chino Valley, Arizona. Because this event is not sanctioned by the Commission or any State or Tribal Commission recognized by the Association of Boxing Commissions (“ABC”), this event is an unsanctioned event. The Department urges the public, participants, and licensees to exercise caution and avoid involvement in unregulated combat sports activities.

The Commission regulates unarmed combat sports in Arizona to protect the safety of fighters, ensure fair competition, and uphold professional standards. Sanctioned events are subject to strict oversight, including medical evaluations, ringside physicians, trained officials, and adherence to state laws and regulations. Under Arizona Revised Statutes (“A.R.S.”) § 5-236, participation in an unsanctioned event may result in a class 2 misdemeanor and license revocation, denial, or suspension.

Accordingly, the Commission has ordered the organizers of this event to cancel all planned or contemplated combat sporting events in Arizona that have not received official sanctioning from the Commission. They have been further directed to refrain from promoting, hosting, or engaging in this activity unless proper authorization has been obtained. The hosting and/or promoting of unsanctioned combat sporting events is illegal, and conducting these events without appropriate licensure is a class 1 and class 2 misdemeanor within the State of Arizona.

Consumer Protection & Fighter Safety

Unregulated events pose significant risks to all involved. It’s important to emphasize that regulated events require fighters to have up-to-date medical exams before stepping into the ring. In contrast, unregulated or unsanctioned events typically bypass these critical requirements, significantly increasing risk to fighter safety.

Fighters may be exposed to unsafe conditions, improper matchmaking, and a lack of medical supervision. These events often occur without doctors or emergency medical services on-site, and without adherence to established health and safety protocols. This absence of regulatory oversight puts both fighters and spectators at risk, leaving them vulnerable to unethical practices and substandard safety measures.

Risk to Licensees and Participants

Any individual licensed by the Commission—whether a fighter, promoter, official, or second—who participates in or supports an unsanctioned event may face disciplinary action, including suspension or revocation of their license. Promoters who operate without the required approvals are subject to legal penalties under Arizona law.

Reporting Unlicensed Activity

The Department takes reports of unsanctioned events seriously. If you are aware of unsanctioned combat sports activity and would like to provide tips or information, please contact the Department’s Division of Boxing and MMA’s messaging line at (602) 364-1721 or email [email protected]. Tips may also be submitted through [email protected]. You may choose to remain anonymous.

The Department remains committed to ensuring the integrity, safety, and professionalism of unarmed combat sports in Arizona. The safety of our Licensees is the Commission’s greatest concern, so participation in unsanctioned events—a high safety risk—will be addressed to the fullest extent of the Commission’s statutory authority. Please be forewarned that any Licensee of the Commission that participates in this event will be subject to the disciplinary consequences outlined above.

Tequity, the technology partner behind some of the industry’s most scalable and customisable gaming solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with iBankroll that brings together two complementary engines of operator growth: high-performance Originals content and a liquidity support solution designed to remove exposure and empower operators to scale responsibly.

The partnership reflects a shared ambition to help operators overcome both creative and capital constraints. Through iBankroll’s Bankroll-as-a-Service solution, partners gain access to Tequity’s modular Remote Game Server (RGS) and its expanding portfolio of fully customisable Originals – a suite of provably fair, streamer-friendly, brandable titles engineered for next-generation engagement.

Operators will now be able to offer bigger limits, streamline withdrawals, and deploy fully brandable Originals, supported by a capital-efficient foundation that enhances consistency and theoretical value.

With operators increasingly seeking adaptable content frameworks and operational models that support higher limits and smoother user experiences, the collaboration introduces an integrated pathway to growth.

The joint rollout marks the beginning of a broader collaboration, with both companies focused on accelerating innovation across fintech and gaming technology.

Dominic Sawyer, VP Growth at Tequity, said: “iBankroll removes the capital constraint for ambitious operators. Tequity does the same on the content side with high-performance, fully brandable house games. Together, we give partners the confidence to offer bigger limits and smooth withdrawals on games that players genuinely love.”

Hayden Bowman, Co-Founder of iBankroll, added: “Tequity’s engineering expertise, scalable infrastructure, and standout Originals portfolio make them an ideal partner. Bringing their technology together with our Bankroll-as-a-Service gives operators a compelling foundation to grow, innovate, and future-proof their business.”

Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, unleashes a thunderous new entry in its iconic Greek Gods series with Fortune of Olympus – an electrifying 7×7 cluster-pays slot charged with random multipliers, dynamic special bets, and a 10,000x max win.

Fortune of Olympus is the latest feature-packed addition to the industry-leading Gates of Olympus universe. The blockbuster slot delivers explosive action as clusters of 5-15+ matching symbols reward players with wins of up to 150x in the base game.

On any spin, mighty multiplier symbols worth 2x-500x can strike the grid. When multiple multipliers hit, their values combine and detonate into a single, supercharged payout at the end of the tumbling sequence.

Landing 4-7 scatter symbols triggers the bonus game, awarding 15-30 free spins. During this striking feature, every multiplier that appears is added to a growing total multiplier, which is applied to all subsequent wins in the round, building tension and potential with every spin.

Players in certain markets can also amplify the action with special bets. Ante bets boost the chance of triggering Free Spins or Super Free Spins. The two Super Spins options guarantee at least one multiplier on every spin, with the second raising the minimum multiplier value to 50x.

Those eager for instant power can jump straight into Free Spins or Super Free Spins via 100x or 500x bonus buys, with the latter ensuring all multipliers start from 5x and above.

Fortune of Olympus marks the triumphant return of Pragmatic Play’s legendary Zeus character, following the success of Gates of Olympus Super Scatter and Gates of Olympus 1000, and pushes the fan-favourite series into thrilling new territory.

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: Fortune of Olympus is a stunning addition to Pragmatic Play’s popular Greek Gods series and a distinctly different kind of outing for Zeus. Taking the iconic Gates of Olympus series in a thrilling new direction, this feature-rich slot delivers a standout experience with epic win potential.”
