With legalized sports betting, we’re going to see more of this. Just a few days ago the NFL suspended five players for improper gambling activity.

The good news is that legal sportsbooks can implements tools to uncover inappropriate betting activity. AS this story unfolds, it will be interesting to see how sports teams and leagues can use these tools to ensure that players and coaches aren’t impacting the integrity of the game.

This simple fact remains. The increased prevalence of sports betting raises concerns about the potential for match-fixing, point-shaving, and other forms of corruption that could compromise the integrity of the game. Leagues and teams must establish and enforce stringent regulations to prevent such occurrences and maintain public trust in the fairness of competition. Hopefully, the technology that enables easy betting can also find violations of league and team rules.
