Part 7/12:
The NBA maintains partnerships with over a dozen sportsbooks, including major players like FanDuel and DraftKings, which serve as official betting partners. In recent months, the league has proactively restricted betting options that could be exploited, such as bets on player fouls or turnovers, to reduce potential manipulation.
However, both industry officials and government agencies highlight the need for more robust oversight. The New York State Gaming Commission, for instance, has indicated that the NBA can request that certain bet types be restricted under existing statutes, adding an operational lever for league officials to control the integrity of betting markets.
