Overview
- The league distributed a memo this week to team front offices restating its restrictions on proposition betting and clarifying what markets are off-limits.
- Prohibited categories include bets on injuries or security issues, referee decisions or assignments, single‑player‑dependent plays, and in‑game outcomes such as the first offensive snap.
- The NFL says it has worked with state lawmakers, regulators, and sportsbook partners in recent weeks to limit or, where possible, prohibit these markets.
- The memo serves as guidance and is not directly binding on sportsbooks, though most regulated operators do not offer the listed wager types.
- The reinforcement comes after recent betting scandals in other U.S. leagues and follows prior NFL discipline, including Calvin Ridley’s 2022 suspension.
