Separately, the Indiana Gaming Commission unanimously denied a broader NCAA petition to prohibit all college player proposition bets statewide, deferring that policy question to the legislature rather than resolving it through administrative rulemaking. The commission also granted ten procedural rule waivers to Indiana casinos since June 2025, covering promotions review, staffing, and badge-wear requirements, indicating a lighter-touch administrative posture on non-integrity matters even as the legislature tightens rules on unlicensed adjacent product categories.
