Why would you answer a question about the legality of match-fixing in Belgium at Belgian/European sports betting operators, with a citation from US law?

The question asked "Is this a crime", not "Would this be a crime if done in the US?"

Fair point! When I wrote that the archive link hadn't been posted, so I saw Washington Post, and assumed.

I'm grateful for your response, because it brought me back to the post, and the story is fascinating.
