Partnerships with gambling companies has only grown across the NFL, and the Ravens are entering the second year of a deal with BetMGM.
Ravens head coach Jim Harbaugh said he hoped that DeCosta's personal appeal sent a clear message to the players."It does concern you that it’s not always too clear," Harbaugh said."The clearest thing would be [to] just stay away from it, but guys are going to be on vacation, and they may play blackjack or whatever, there’s nothing wrong with that, if they do that."
"But it is very clear in terms of sports gambling, in terms of where you can be during the season, those kinds of things, and in terms of not betting on football, period, end of story. That’s pretty darn clear." The NFL logo is seen on the field prior to a game between the Green Bay Packers and Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on December 25, 2022 in Miami Gardens, Florida.
