Report: NFL Revised Gambling Policy for Las Vegas Pro Bowl Games to Allow Casino Use

The NFL and NFLPA agreed to a revised gambling policy during the Pro Bowl Games in Las Vegas that will have more lenient rules surrounding non-sports betting in casinos.

An NFL spokesperson broke down the changes in an email to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio:

"The union and league agreed that participating players in Las Vegas would be considered to be on personal time for the purpose of the gambling policy, except during periods when they were scheduled for Pro Bowl-related events. Players were able to enter casinos and participate in legal non-sports gambling. They were not at any time, however, permitted to enter or use a sports book and were prohibited [from] wagering on sports.
