ESPN’s webpage for the NBA story “Stacking which teams can keep the NBA’s parity run going” prominently features a series of legal notices and gambling-related disclaimers.
The site outlines its Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Children’s Online Privacy Policy, and specifies that visitors can exercise “Your Privacy Choices.” It also details Nielsen measurement information and contact options for corrections or employment opportunities with ESPN.
A substantial portion of the notice addresses problem-gambling resources. Viewers are directed to call 1-800-GAMBLER or 1-800-MY-RESET, with a dedicated number for Massachusetts at (800) 327-5050 and separate lines for New York, Connecticut, Maryland, Puerto Rico, and other jurisdictions. The statement clarifies that services are for individuals 21 and older in most states, with an 18-plus threshold in Washington, D.C.; Kentucky; New Hampshire; Puerto Rico; and Wyoming.
The disclaimer further notes that wagering is void in Ontario and that eligibility restrictions apply. It references DraftKings Sportsbook terms, identifies Boot Hill Casino in Kansas as the licensing partner, and mentions that a “pass-thru of per wager tax” may apply in Illinois.
The page closes with a copyright line stating, “© 2026 ESPN Enterprises, LLC. All rights reserved.”
