ESPN included a detailed series of responsible-gambling notices, legal disclaimers and copyright information at the bottom of an online NBA story dated 2026.
The footer directs readers who may need help with gambling issues to multiple hotlines, including 1-800-GAMBLER, 1-800-MY-RESET and 877-8-HOPENY, and lists state-specific resources for Connecticut, Maryland, Puerto Rico and other jurisdictions. It also specifies age and location eligibility—21 and older in most states, but 18 and older in the District of Columbia, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Puerto Rico and Wyoming—along with a reminder that wagering is void in Ontario.
Additional information references the DraftKings sportsbook, notes tax pass-throughs in Illinois and identifies Boot Hill Casino in Kansas as the on-behalf operator. ESPN further outlines privacy policies, Nielsen measurement details and contact options, while the footer confirms that all content is © 2026 ESPN Enterprises, LLC.
The disclaimer appears below an article headlined “Jalen Brunson slams skeptics as Knicks revel in NBA championship parade,” underscoring ESPN’s broader efforts to promote responsible betting and meet regulatory requirements across U.S. markets.
