Arizona Cardinals Official Suspended for Alleged Gambling Activities


Ryan Gold, the Arizona Cardinals' director of college scouting, has been suspended by the NFL for alleged gambling activities. Gold is accused of placing parlay bets using insider information and leaking such information to third parties.

The NFL has suspended Ryan Gold, Arizona Cardinals’ director of college scouting, on suspicion that the executive has engaged in prohibited practices, such as sharing private information with third parties, potentially linked to gambling activities. Gold himself is said to have placed parlay bets.

The NFL specifically alleges that Gold released non-public information to third-parties on the team’s 2026 draft picks, with the information shared before the Cardinals revealed their picks. The NFL has found itself in several such situations over the past years, with the league acknowledging that previously, its gambling rules were not clear enough, and specifically addressing the issue by releasing comprehensive guidelines instead.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
