A FanDuel spokesperson told that it didn’t accept any bets on the game and that it removed the game from its platform nationwide “out of an abundance of caution.” The sportsbook is still determining how it will handle Alabama baseball games the rest of the season.
The Ohio Casino Control Commission issued an emergency order Monday prohibiting sportsbooks in the state from accepting wagers on games involving the University of Alabama baseball program.
U.S. Integrity flagged last Friday’s game between Alabama and No. 1 LSU, an 8-6 LSU win, for suspicious betting activity, according to ESPN’s report.
“The Commission received information from one of its certified independent integrity monitors regarding wagers made on University of Alabama baseball and made the decision to prohibit all wagers on UA Baseball,” an OCCC spokesperson told Sports Handle. “We are continuing to look into the matter.”
The NCAA told that it’s looking into Friday’s game and associated betting activity. “The NCAA takes sports wagering very seriously and is committed to the protection of student-athlete well-being and the integrity of competition,” an NCAA spokesperson said. “We are aware of this issue and actively gathering additional information.”
