Jontay Porter's sentencing hearing is scheduled for Wednesday at a federal courthouse in Brooklyn , N.Y. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud on July 10 after admitting to competitive manipulation in two NBA games.

Peter Czegledy , a partner at Aird and Berlis who chairs the Toronto law firm’s gaming group, said he expects Porter to be severely punished.

Porter 's gambling addiction would have limited value to his defence if he was tried in Canada .

Czegledy said the illegal market is the domain of justice and enforcement authorities.

He said he would also like to see greater harmonization between the provinces on gambling regulations.

“We are literally relying on provisions and principles from the horse-and-buggy age,” he said. “A modernized approach is both necessary and invaluable — but as yet no federal government has been prepared to commit to that undertaking.
