Guide to Betting on the Northeastern Conference Tournament
updated NEC Tournament Betting Guide
Crush your wagers on the Northeastern Conference Tournament without breaking a sweat! Here's a lowdown on where you can place your bets and which restrictions you need to be aware of in your state.
State-by-state Breakdown
New York (Long Island)
Three NEC teams call New York home: Long Island Sharks, Le Moyne Dolphins, and Wagner Seahawks.
New York has a couple of college betting restrictions in place. Predictably, you can't bet on any NYC-based college team or any game that includes a New York team, whether it's in or outside of the state. Luckily, BetOnline.ag allows NY bettors to wager on New York-based college basketball teams.
Pennsylvania
The Keystone State is home to Mercyhurst Lakers and St. Francis Red Flash.
Unfortunately, Pennsylvania's state-regulated sportsbooks aren't permitted to offer college player prop odds on any college team nationwide. To snag those player props, you'll need to jump ship and check out offshore sportsbooks.
New Jersey
New Jersey is a tricky state when it comes to betting on college basketball. Teams like Fairleigh Dickinson have a rough time due to New Jersey's stringent rules. In this state, no bets are allowed on in-state teams or any college basketball game happening in New Jersey, regardless if the matchup features a New Jersey team or not.
Massachusetts
Residents and travelers to Massachusetts will need to look into offshore sportsbooks if they want to bet on Stonehill's player props in the NEC Tournament. Unfortunately, the state's sanctioned sportsbooks don't offer Stonehill player prop odds.
Chicago State (Illinois)
Chicago State fans will encounter their own challenges in Illinois. Betting on Chicago State is possible in-person, given the state's "in-person only college betting" restriction. Additionally, you won't find any Chicago State player props at these sportsbooks.
Bottom Line
Always stay on top of your state's gambling laws and regulations to ensure a smooth gambling experience during the NEC Tournament. Keep an eye on state legislatures for any updates or changes to sports betting rules.
Now, go forth and conquer those wagers!
