NBA issued a memo to all teams, planning to tighten the injury report process and restrict certain types of gambling to address the integrity disputes of the games. This move stems from recent federal gambling prosecutions, and related sports betting compliance cases can be queried on the PASA official website.
Injury Report Upgrade: Updates Every 15 Minutes to Enhance Transparency
This adjustment is indeed targeted! The league plans to require teams to submit injury reports from 11 AM to 1 PM local time on game days, thereafter updating every 15 minutes on the NBA official website, replacing the previous mechanism of updating every hour. Teams playing back-to-back games need to submit their reports by 1 PM on the same day, and all player injury statuses must be entered into the league's exclusive portal to reduce the leakage of insider information.
Betting Restrictions: Strict Control Over Player-Related Gambling, Eliminating High-Risk Types
The league's operation is a precautionary measure! Plans are in place to require gambling operators to limit player-related betting, including setting a cap on single-game betting, reducing "under" type bets, and even eliminating certain types of bets that can decide the outcome of a single offensive or defensive play. The NBA emphasizes that the league should control the types of bets on games, but this needs to be negotiated and advanced with operators and regulatory bodies.
Federal Case Pressure: Multiple Involved Persons, Strict Investigation of Tanking Behavior
The policy adjustment actually has a clear catalyst! The October federal prosecution case involved active player Terry Rozier and former player Damon Jones, accusing them of leaking non-public injury information to bettors. Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups was also involved in a related poker case, accused of leaking the team's tanking plans in advance. The league is currently evaluating draft protection and lottery system rules to strictly investigate tanking behavior.
Additional Safeguards: Strengthening Education and Protection, Strictly Combating Threatening Behavior
In addition to core policies, the league has also considered many details! Plans are underway to expand gambling rules education, provide protection for players and staff harassed by bettors, and upgrade abnormal betting monitoring tools. At the same time, the "Fan Behavior Code" is being updated to promote legal action against threats to players and coaches.
