GAMBLING

NCAA Bylaw 10.3 prohibits all athletic department staff members as well as student-athletes involvement in organized sports gambling activities. This includes soliciting a bet on college or professional athletics, accepting a bet on college or professional athletics, providing information to individuals involved in organized gambling activities, or otherwise participating in any gambling activity that involves college or professional athletics.

Examples of impermissible gambling activity for all staff and student-athletes include the following:
  • Betting on college or professional games
  • Participating in NCAA Tournament pools
  • Involvement in off-shore gambling websites
  • Las Vegas sportsbooks
  • Fantasy leagues
  • Wagering on competitions for meals – ie Lunch, Dinner, etc.
The NCAA has indicated that the term “gambling” encompasses any situations where a pay-in to play exists, resulting in a pay-out at the end. Situations where there is no pay-in, the activity may be permissible.
