Next to the Super Bowl, one of the biggest days of sports betting, the Illinois Gaming Board on Thursday made permanent, which was a temporary ban on some types of NFL Sports Waging.

Will be banned from, the first pass of quarterback is incomplete and any other bet that can hurt consumers, players and sports integrity.
The board imposed a temporary ban at such stakes last October at the request of the National Football League.
Despite the request of NFL, the board will not limit the non-back roster decisions, such as NFL drafts and pre-agency signs or betting on trades. Instead, in the amendment of October decision, those types of bets will be banned only during sports days.
If non-game Day stakes are found to compromise the integrity of the game, the board will work with NFL to include those bets to make their policy, the caming board administrator Marcus Fruitter said.
“This is an issue that we will take to the head, but there is nothing that we are going to include in this special prohibition,” said Frucher.
Their license may be canceled in sports gambling businesses violating rules.
“I think it is important for NFL to maintain the integrity of his game,” said Charles Shamadeke, chairman of the gaming board. “It is clearly important for this board to maintain the integrity of sports gaming. I think this proposal meets the goals of both organizations, and I thank NFL for its efforts. ,
Jonathan Nabvi, Vice President of Public Policy and Government Affairs, who almost attended the meeting with New Orleans, said the League supported the board’s decision and “appreciated the opportunity for this open doors and that cooperation”.
Nabavi said in October that many other states including Indiana, Michigan and Ohio have already taken action against negative stakes.
Last year, the board also banned betting on red and yellow cards in Major League Football Games.
