"Within the letter, which is addressed to league commissioners and leaders, the commission says it is re-examining all player prop bets and single game specific multi-leg individual player parlays. They say this is taking place after recent allegations, investigations, and prosecutions have come to light. Once the review has been complete, if it requires the outright elimination of certain bets, the Gaming Commission states it'll use its regulatory authority to prohibit them."
""We have heard sports league leaderships' call for change. One league commissioner called for the reduction or elimination of certain types of player proposition wagers[1]. Another league sought to implement a cap on the amount wagered on the actions of a specific position[2]. These are positive steps, but more can be done," the Commission says. They continue to explain how, in New York, unlike many jurisdictions, the Gaming Commission controls the wagering menu and limits the sports and leagues accepted for sports wagering."
The New York State Gaming Commission has sent a letter to league commissioners and leaders re-examining all player prop bets and single-game specific multi-leg individual player parlays. The review follows recent allegations, investigations, and prosecutions involving athletes and gambling. If the review shows certain wagers must be eliminated, the Commission will use its regulatory authority to prohibit them. The Commission notes that many problematic proposition wagers were already prohibited in New York, and that the state controls the wagering menu and limits which sports and leagues are authorized. The approach emphasizes conservative approval to preserve sports wagering integrity.
