ESPN’s web page for its 2026 NBA Round 2 mock draft is accompanied by an extensive disclaimer that outlines responsible gambling resources and legal requirements for sportsbook users.
The notice lists multiple 24-hour helplines, including 1-800-GAMBLER, 1-800-MY-RESET and (800) 327-5050, along with state-specific options such as 877-8-HOPENY / text HOPENY (467369) for New York, 888-789-7777 and ccpg.org for Connecticut, and 1-800-981-0023 for Puerto Rico. Additional online resources include gamblinghelplinema.org for Massachusetts and mdgamblinghelp.org for Maryland.
The disclaimer states that wagering is restricted to individuals 21 and over in most U.S. states, with an 18-plus age limit in the District of Columbia, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Puerto Rico and Wyoming. Betting is declared void in Ontario, and additional eligibility conditions apply as outlined on DraftKings.com/sportsbook.
ESPN also notes that DraftKings operates the offer “on behalf of Boot Hill Casino” in Kansas and that a pass-through per-wager tax may apply in Illinois.
The page links to ESPN’s Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Nielsen measurement information, and carries a copyright line that reads, “© 2026 ESPN Enterprises, LLC. All rights reserved.”
