Jonathan D. Nabavi Vice President of Public Policy and Government Affairs, National Football League
“One area where there is broad consensus at all levels is the need for engagement to curb the illegal betting market.
From the perspective of sports leagues, we are better off in an environment where there is
robust information sharing to help protect the integrity of our games; something that simply doesn’t exist with the illegal
market. It’s great to see sports, operators, and even state level enforcement come together to champion engagement by
federal authorities against this problem. Illegal gaming operators do not offer the important consumer and security protections that legal sites do. They don’t use anti- money laundering protocols, identity and age verification, sports integrity monitoring processes, or financial and cyber security systems.”
