The NBA stepped up sports betting regulations on the eve of the 2026-2027 season. According to the documents, the alliance is tightening restrictions on betting items provided by authorized gaming partners and deploying artificial intelligence technology to identify suspicious betting behavior. League President Adam Silver is promoting the acquisition of more betting data and strengthening control over the types of bets that can be placed on tournaments. The above measures were introduced in this context. He said that related concerns also covered the forecasting market. The NBA sent letters to bookmakers such as FanDuel, DraftKings, Fanatics, etc., setting restrictions on several types of bets: bets on players who score the first goal, bets related to players who are expected to play less than 12 minutes in a single game, and collusion of multiple betting combinations where the same player falls short of expectations. This type of bet can easily risk the integrity of the game because a single player has the ability to influence the outcome of the game. This rule adjustment stems from a number of gambling cases involving NBA-related personnel, including former players Jontay Porter, Terry Rozier, Damon Jones, and Chauncey Billups, who is also a former player and coach.
