NBA strikes deal with sportsbooks to ban multiple types of betting

The NBA has instructed prominent sportsbook partners, including FanDuel and DraftKings, to ban specific types of bets before the 2026-27 season. This crackdown targets suspicious bet types, such as same-player parlays on statistical unders, which were flagged during recent betting scandals involving Jontay Porter and Terry Rozier. The league is implementing these restrictions to address integrity concerns and prevent further incidents of the kind seen in these high-profile cases across various sports betting platforms.
