NFL warns players to avoid gambling apps amid suspensions

The NFL Players Association advised agents to warn clients against using mobile sports betting apps, especially at work or while traveling for games.
Five NFL players were recently suspended for violating the league's strict policy barring gambling.
Some states monitor sports betting apps like FanDuel to ensure they comply with gambling laws and regulations.
The NFL's gambling policy prohibits any wagers on sports by team staff, league employees or players at work or on road trips.
The NFLPA told players not to even open a sports betting app during work hours or while representing their teams.
