“The NFL is discussing new limits on prop bets and referee bets with regulators”, — write: sport.ua
The league said it was working with state regulators and bookmakers to limit markets that could harm the integrity of the competition. It intends to ban bets deemed unacceptable or provocative, including bets related to player injuries, refereeing, fan safety and any inappropriate behaviour.
The statement was published after a high-profile scandal involving NBA stars.
The NFL stresses that prop bets can affect fan perception, the league’s reputation and the safety of players and referees. The league is calling on regulators to be more proactive in supporting restrictions so these markets don’t undermine the sport’s credibility.
