Overview
- The Nov. 13 memo says the league is working with state lawmakers, regulators and betting partners to limit or, where possible, prohibit certain NFL proposition wagers.
- It identifies four prohibited categories: inherently objectionable, officiating-related, outcomes determinable by one person in one play, and pre-determined events.
- Player props based on cumulative statistics remain allowed with legal sportsbooks, whereas single-play or known-in-advance outcomes fall under the prohibitions.
- The league also deems prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket prohibited gambling activity for NFL personnel.
- Integrity measures include player briefings this week, club liaisons drawn from former law enforcement, and a specialized unit monitoring insider threats and social media; ESPN reports sportsbooks do not expect significant menu changes.
