NBA commissioner calls for federal oversight and limits on some sports bets
NBA commissioner Adam Silver called for federal legislation to oversee sports betting, saying states should not regulate every aspect independently. Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, he also said the league had asked some partners to remove certain player prop bets, particularly those involving two-way players, because they could be easier to manipulate.
Silver’s position raises the prospect of federal rules and restrictions affecting sportsbooks’ betting markets and advertising.
