All six new violations involve wagers placed on daily fantasy sports websites, where customers can wager on player performances. Traditional sports betting remains illegal in Texas, but the state’s residents can legally wager on daily fantasy platforms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Between the six individuals \u2014 names were redacted on the violation documents before they were provided to the Statesman \u2014 there were 121 wagers placed. The bets totaled $1,096.08 in value. Two of the bettors placed wagers on events involving Texas\u2019 sports teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two violations corresponded to those connected to the women\u2019s basketball<\/a> and softball <\/a>teams, but documents showed both bettors were male, indicating they were not student-athletes. Another violation was committed by one of the athletic department\u2019s IT coordinators. The three remaining cases were not labeled by sport.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Documents: Bettors confused by NCAA rules<\/p>\n

Most of the case descriptions conveyed confusion regarding NCAA rules on sports wagering.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One individual said they thought daily fantasy sites were fair game because they\u2019re legal in Texas. Another thought wagering on professional sports was allowed \u2014 the NCAA briefly introduced legislation that would permit that type of wager before rescinding it Nov. 21. Another violation came because an individual did not view himself as an athletic department employee at the time he made the wager. One offender was egged on by his friends in a group chat to place wagers on the Super Bowl.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The most prolific bettor \u2014 an unnamed athletic department employee who made 85 wagers, including 10 on Texas sports \u2014 retained their job. Their offenses came from between November 2023 and January 2024,\u00a0before\u00a0the athletic department stepped up its efforts to educate its employees on\u00a0NCAA wagering rules, according to the documents. Monitoring technology flagged their account when they attempted to log in and view transaction history for tax purposes, according to the documents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How the violations were discovered<\/p>\n

All six violations were flagged by ProhiBet, a service that cross-checks an individual’s personal data against the data used to register with sportsbooks and daily fantasy websites. The Southeastern Conference has mandated that its member institutions implement ProhiBet since the 2023-24 academic year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe administrator on the collegiate property side, in this circumstance, gets access to the information of the compliance professional at the\u00a0sportsbook platform,\u201d Scott Sadin, the COO of ProhiBet\u2019s parent company, IC360, told the Statesman in March. \u201cSo, they\u2019ll get an email of the person to then contact on the (sportsbook) platform side, and the person on the platform side gets the same information.\u201d<\/p>\n

ProhiBet technology is designed to block members of Texas\u2019 athletic department from accessing their accounts to make wagers. But the violation descriptions described a disconnect between ProhiBet and PrizePicks, a popular daily fantasy website where five of the individuals made wagers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the documents, PrizePicks \u201cmodified their frequency of checking against the ProhiBet,\u201d allowing four individuals into the account. Another report was attributed to lag resulting from an overwhelming volume of wagers being made around the Super Bowl in February.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finally, one violation came from wagers made on Underdog, a different daily fantasy website. In January, the time of the violation, Underdog was not participating with ProhiBet, according to documents. An email Monday to\u00a0Sadin seeking clarity on whether that was still the case did not receive an immediate response.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lori Hammond, Texas\u2019 senior associate AD for Risk Management and Compliance Services, told the Statesman in March that monitoring technology like ProhiBet has been \u201cinstrumental in helping us identify and prevent the behaviors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPrior to its implementation, we solely relied on educational efforts as there was no means to monitor,\u201d Hammond said. \u201cNow the information we gain from monitoring has expanded our knowledge and significantly enhanced our educational content and also broadened the populations we educate.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Texas Longhorns self-reported six NCAA violations related to sports wagering from Jan. 1 through Oct. 28, according…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":99626,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[30433,1771,45894,9969,27,29,537,536,28703,5276,28,4101],"class_list":["post-99625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-gambling","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-southeastern-conference","tag-southeastern-conference","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-longhorns","tag-texas-longhorns-football","tag-texas-longhorns-softball","tag-texas-longhorns-women-s-basketball","tag-texas-news","tag-university-of-texas-at-austin"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99625"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99625\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/99626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
