NBA, Sportsbooks Review Vulnerable Prop Bets and Wager Limits

The push follows federal charges detailing alleged insider schemes tied to player props, including heavy under betting before Terry Rozier exited a 2023 game.

Overview

  • Before this season the NBA flagged missed free throws, fouls and turnovers as high‑risk wagers and asked partner sportsbooks to stop offering them, and FanDuel and DraftKings said they complied.
  • Current talks with operators focus on which bet types are most susceptible to manipulation and on setting appropriate wager limits for those markets.
  • An indictment alleges Terry Rozier shared plans to leave a March 2023 game early, with $257,700 wagered on his unders across books and one Mississippi bettor placing 30 under bets totaling $13,759.
  • Following the Jontay Porter case, the league asked books not to post unders for players on two‑way or 10‑day contracts, and some props for those players were removed.
  • The Sports Betting Alliance warns that sweeping prop‑bet bans could drive wagering to illegal sites that lack cooperation with integrity investigations.
