Following the official request sent by the NFL to ban 11 types of betting, Illinois Game Board (IGB) announced manager Marcus Fruchter’s temporary suspension on Thursday.

“Accordingly, I hereby suspend all such betting (online and in-person) in Illinois, effective October 24, 2024, at 12:00 PM Central Standard Time. … The suspension shall remain in effect until rescinded pursuant to Rule 1900.1130(3) or (Illinois Gaming It will remain in effect until the Board) makes a final Decision.”

Prop bets labeled as “vulnerable to manipulation” are “pre-determined or 100% human-determined.” This type of betting markets involves the first play of the game and the first pass missing. Another is a player missing a field goal or extra point attempt.

Bets on player injuries, suspensions, player misconduct, fan safety and replay results are also prohibited.

“A complete ban on these bets would complement NFL policies that require game participants and other NFL personnel to do their best on the field of play and protect the NFL’s ‘inside information,'” said Jonathan Nabavi, NFL vice president of Public Policy and Government. İşler wrote to the IGB in the request form.

Other bets that are temporarily banned include player injuries, player misconduct, fan safety, penalties and replay results. The NFL says these bets were “derogatory in nature, designed to be provocative, or otherwise based on a matter that is against policy.”

Nabavi also added that the league is taking “appropriate steps” to ensure safe and fair sports betting. Fan participation “should not be subjected to unfair and unwarranted claims regarding sports gambling.”

Additionally, Nabavi said the NFL is working to ban these bets in some other parts of the United States. States listed include Arizona, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee and Vermont.

IGB will revisit the issue at its meeting on December 12. Until this issue is resolved, online and retail sports betting operators in Illinois are prohibited from offering these bets.

Sports betting sites in the Prairie State have been warned that their licenses may be revoked if they engage in such betting.
