Cleveland Star’s Heartbreaking Saga: Facing Extended Suspension for Gambling on Own Games

Cleveland Star’s Heartbreaking Saga: Facing Extended Suspension for Gambling on Own Games

Following Shane Pinto’s 41-game suspension for a suspected NHL gambling policy violation, players are being reminded of the league’s restrictions. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman highlighted key points: players should not share accounts, place bets with third parties, treat prop bets like regular hockey bets, avoid joking about odds with friends, refrain from sharing injury insights, and never engage in illegal betting. The league is conducting Zoom calls between players and the NHLPA to further discuss the matter. Pinto, an unsigned restricted free agent, is expected to re-sign with the Senators after the suspension.
