Eli5: How does the NBA/NFL/MLB find out players are gambling?

303 viewsOther

I’ve seen a lot of players get caught recently for gambling and getting suspended or banned but how do sports organizations find out? Do they monitor player’s finances?

Usually someone tells on them, often the person/platform they’re gambling with. All signs point to Jontay Porter being turned into the NBA by Draftkings. They didn’t like having to keep paying out to him, and they knew having a player gambling on their app was bad for their partnership with the league. Shohei Ohtani’s translator was caught when he outed himself under implied pressure from his bookie to go directly to Ohtani for money.
