15 states that were Asked by the NCAA to not offer any form of College Prop Betting
Based on a March 2024 push by NCAA President Charlie Baker to ban college prop betting, the association asked states that permit this type of wagering to remove it. The NCAA did not release a list of all states it contacted, but many states with bans or restrictions were influenced by this request.
Here are 15 states that were asked not to offer college prop betting, including states that banned it following the NCAA’s request and those with existing restrictions that drew the organization’s focus:
- Arizona: Prohibited college player prop betting prior to the NCAA’s 2024 request.
- Colorado: Banned college player props before the NCAA’s recent lobbying.
- Connecticut: Bans prop betting on in-state college teams, unless they are participating in a tournament. The NCAA has specifically engaged with states like Connecticut regarding betting rules.
- Illinois: Has a ban on college prop bets for in-state teams.
- Iowa: Prohibits college prop betting for in-state teams.
- Louisiana: Banned college player prop betting in April 2024, with its gaming commission noting it had been working on the policy ahead of the NCAA’s public call.
