Sports betting is everywhere – your friends, family and classmates are placing bets, ads are impossible to miss and there is a lot of harassing chatter on social.

While betting may attract more fans, it increases pressures, risks and dangers for student-athletes. Sports betting must be treated with caution as it could hurt your eligibility, brand, mental health, finances and future. 

Don’t let betting get in the way of what you are trying to accomplish – in competition or in life.  

The NCAA launched a new campaign called “Draw the Line,” prioritizing student-athlete education on the effects of sports betting, while also addressing problem gambling for all that consume and participate in college sports.

To learn more about the NCAA’s sports betting efforts, on campus e-learning resources, membership toolkit, and initiatives visit ncaa.org/SportsBetting.

For resources related to problem gambling or treatment, please visit the National Council of Problem Gambling or contact them directly.
