NBA and Sportsbooks Tighten Betting Rules After Jontay Porter Scandal

New restrictions on prop bets aim to safeguard league integrity following Porter's lifetime ban for gambling misconduct.

  • FanDuel and DraftKings will no longer offer 'under' prop bets on NBA players with two-way or 10-day contracts.
  • The decision follows an NBA investigation into Jontay Porter, who was banned for leaking confidential information for betting gains.
  • Porter, a former Toronto Raptors player, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and faces sentencing in December.
  • The NBA collaborated with major sportsbooks to prevent similar betting manipulation schemes in the future.
  • This move reflects broader efforts to maintain the integrity of professional sports amid increased gambling partnerships.
