"NFL Implements Stricter Gambling Policy for Players"

The NFL is reinforcing its gambling policy to players by requiring all rookies to attend mandatory education sessions and making in-person visits to team facilities to clarify prohibited activities. The league is intensifying its monitoring and policy enforcement efforts with the help of external monitoring firms and sportsbooks. The six "key rules" of the gambling policy that the league officials will emphasize are: Don't bet on the NFL, don't gamble at your team facility, don't have someone bet for you, don't share team "inside information," don't enter a sportsbook during the NFL playing season, and don't play daily fantasy football.
