MLB players’ union seeks ban on player-prop event contracts
The Major League Baseball Players Association proposed a ban on betting on individual players’ performances across regulated sportsbooks, daily fantasy operators and CFTC-regulated prediction markets, as part of collective bargaining talks, according to a media report. The union also sought permission for players to make endorsement and sponsorship deals with betting operators and prediction markets.
The proposal could affect player-prop offerings across sportsbooks, fantasy operators and prediction-market platforms.
