The 32-year-old has been detained as part of an investigation by the National Crime Agency (NCA) after it acted on information passed to it by the Sun on Sunday newspaper.
In a statement, Blackburn said: "Following reports in today's national media, Blackburn Rovers can confirm that striker DJ Campbell has been arrested. The club will be making no further comment on what is now an ongoing legal matter."
The tabloid newspaper also reported that an undercover investigator met the former Portsmouth player Sam Sodje, who allegedly said he could arrange for footballers in the Championship to get themselves a yellow card in return for tens of thousands of pounds.
The 34-year-old also claimed he could rig Premier League games and even said he was preparing to fix matches at next year's World Cup in Brazil, the newspaper reported.
