Some bets, certain parlays no longer can be offered, NBA tells sportsbooks
The NBA has told sportsbooks about new restrictions on certain types of wagers for the upcoming season. These include bets on which player records the first stat of a game and the outcome of the opening tip. The league also requires players, coaches, and staff to attend in-person training on sports betting rules. The changes follow betting scandals that led to arrests of former NBA figures.
Additionally, the NBA has developed an AI-based platform to monitor unusual betting activity and has upgraded protections against harassment from sports bettors.
