Overview
- Thursday’s memo to clubs and a player briefing reiterated long-standing restrictions and formalized four prohibited wager categories.
- The banned categories cover bets that are inherently objectionable, tied to officiating, determinable by one person in one play, or pre-determined outcomes.
- Prediction-market platforms were labeled prohibited gambling activity for NFL personnel, alongside reminders of existing betting rules.
- The NFL detailed added safeguards, including former law-enforcement liaisons assigned to each team and a specialized unit monitoring insider threats and social media.
- Cumulative-stat props remain available, and sportsbooks indicate current NFL menus already align closely with these restrictions, so few immediate changes are expected.
