NBA and WNBA to launch responsible gaming campaign on the risks of betting on sports outcomes

The NBA and WNBA are set to launch a responsible gaming campaign that directs fans to educational resources on the financial risks of putting money on sports outcomes. The initiative comes as the season prepares to tip off. The NBA is reminding fans that betting on basketball at sportsbooks and trading on prediction markets involves risk and that it should be done for entertainment, not to generate income. The NBA and WNBA are collaborating with the National Council on Problem Gambling for the responsible gaming initiative. The campaign will run on social and linear platforms this fall.
