How Keep Your Players Eligible works

One bad night on a betting app can end a career. Quarterback Brendan Sorsby admitted to at least $90,000 in bets, including 40 on his own team at Indiana. The NCAA ruled him permanently ineligible, and Texas Tech parted ways with him in June 2026 without getting back the NIL money it had paid.

Its eligibility lock walks each athlete through closing every way to bet in their name. NCAA rules already ban these bets, so it takes away nothing athletes are allowed to do.

Every state on the schedule The states each athlete lives, plays and travels in, plus the national program.
The gaps those programs miss Prediction markets, pick'em and sweepstakes apps.
Built into your team rules Sample code-of-conduct wording.
Real confirmation, kept private Athletes show proof to compliance, and Unbettable never stores it.
Bets through friends Why a friend's bet still counts, and how to say no.
Renews every year We remind athletes before their state list runs out.
Team counts Started and finished by team, never names.

No setup can promise an athlete never bets. It removes the easy ways, so one weak moment is less likely to cost a career.

Every way to bet, closedAthletes add every state they live, play and travel in, check off each step and save their end date for renewal reminders.

Certificates you can checkStaff confirm one code, or a whole roster at once. The name stays on the athlete's phone.

Why one sports betting talk a year isn't enough

In the NCAA's 2024 survey, 22% of men's athletes said they had bet on sports in the past year, along with about 5% of women. 17% of Division I men's basketball players and 21% of men's tennis players reported harassment from people with money on their games.

In January 2026, federal prosecutors charged 26 people in a point-shaving scheme involving players from 17 Division I teams. Betting pressure reaches athletes all season, long after a preseason talk.

FAQ

Can a team require Keep Your Players Eligible?

Many codes of conduct already go beyond NCAA rules. State lists are voluntary, so have your counsel approve the wording. We provide a sample clause.

Does this replace the NCAA's sports wagering module?

No. Use them together. Unbettable adds year-round education, staff training, verified completion and private help.

Can compliance see which athletes are struggling?

No. Recovery tools are private, and reports show totals only.

Can we load it into our learning system?

Yes. We can send the course as a SCORM 1.2 file, and completions still count in your term report.
