<br>The top gaming regulator in New York is saluting the NCAA for their crusade against college player [prop betting](https://www.mfsshoping.com/blog/journal-blog-is-here) - and says the Empire State has no plans to start allowing those wagers.<br>
|
||||
<br>New York State Gaming Commission Chairman Brian O'Dwyer sent a letter to NCAA President Charlie Baker on Monday commending the college sports sanctioning body for "raising the visibility" of concerns related to college player prop betting.<br>
|
||||
<br>Baker and the NCAA have spent the past few months lobbying state lawmakers and regulators to remove college player props from their legal sportsbooks because of worries about [harassment](https://worldaid.eu.org/discussion/profile.php?id=1469741) and threats being directed toward the student-athletes by angry bettors, among other things.<br>
|
||||
<br>"With the commencement of legal sports wagering in our state, the New York State Gaming Commission made a policy determination to prohibit individual athletic-based proposition betting within any collegiate event, as we shared the same desire to insulate student-athletes from potential harassment regarding their performance," O’[Dwyer wrote](https://gratisafhalen.be/author/ufhlawerenc/). "We are pleased that many states have followed our lead and have since adopted such a similar restriction."<br>
|
||||
<br>Safe to say that New York shant be allowing college player prop betting anytime soon https://t.co/mNYjJ0wodf<br>
|
||||
<br>The New also made it clear that they do not intend to alter their current stance on college player prop betting in the state, which is that it’s not allowed.<br>
|
||||
<br>"As regulators of the largest sports betting market in the United States, we continue to believe the prohibition of college proposition betting on student-athletes is appropriate," O’[Dwyer wrote](https://dyipniflix.com/site/@gracielaschube?page=about). "New York State appreciates your efforts to help implement this important protective measure nationwide."<br>
|
||||
<br>The support from the regulator of the New York sports betting market will likely be welcomed by the NCAA as it continues to push states to restrict college player props.<br>
|
||||
<br>There are still 20 states that offer those [markets](http://1.117.67.953000/rlmnichole6458) in some form: Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.<br>
|
||||
<br>Differences of opinion<br>
|
||||
<br>Some of those states have said they will consider the NCAA’s request, and in at least one, New Jersey, lawmakers have proposed legislation to [ban college](https://www.adpost4u.com/user/profile/4429677) player props in statute. In Montana, however, the state lottery politely turned down the NCAA.<br>
|
||||
<br>Yet one New York lawmaker is looking to expand the options at the state’s [regulated](https://www.mammalbero.com/2020/05/14/hello-world/) sportsbooks, not restrict them further.<br>
