The NBA’s response to gambling scandals is to add more gambling partnerships

The NBA has announced new prediction market deals with Kalshi, Polymarket, and an expanded deal with DraftKings, as part of its new integrity framework. The new framework aims to protect the integrity of the game by limiting 'permissible markets' and sharing information on suspicious trades and investigations. The NBA is facing scandals related to gambling and manipulation, including a guilty plea from Jontay Porter and indictments against Malik Beasley, Terry Rozier, and Chauncey Billups. The new deals allow prediction markets to use official league data and IP.
