- League introduces new gambling rules for players
- Spotters to track sidelines and press box during games
The NFL has increased its gambling policy education and integrity monitoring efforts after a successful offseason.
There haven’t been any players suspended for gambling violations in 13 months after and the league has taken more steps to keep that trend going.
Last offseason, the NFL suspended 10 players for gambling violations, including three members of the Indianapolis Colts who were suspended indefinitely by the league and subsequently waived. Denver Broncos defensive end Eyioma Uwazurike, who received a one-year suspension in July 2023, was the last player to be reinstated from a suspension.
Never bet on the NFL, including the NFL draft, combine, Pro Bowl and awards.
Don’t have someone bet for you: Do not ask family, friends or others to place a bet for you.
Don’t gamble (no bets on sports, casino or card games) at your team facility or stadium, while traveling for a road game or staying at a team hotel.
Don’t share team “inside information”: Don’t share information that hasn’t been announced by the team.
Don’t enter a sportsbook during the NFL playing season.
Don’t play daily fantasy football.
