How do I book an all-inclusive resort? All-inclusive resorts can be booked by calling or logging on to your Leisure Time Passport and Westgate Cruise & Travel accounts.

Why do I have to pay a Renewal Fee? The Renewal Fee activates all 3 portions of your membership. This includes your Westgate Club Weeks , Interval International - Leisure Time Passport Getaway Weeks, and Westgate Cruise & Travel. This provides significant savings compared to having to pay for maintenance and taxes on a timeshare!

Can I set up auto debit for the Annual Renewal Fee? Yes! You can save 30%/year off the $249 renewal fee when you opt to auto-renew. Call 1-800-875-1817 or 1-407-355-1215 to set your auto renewal.

Toronto’s Jontay Porter at center of NBA investigation into gambling activity

Jontay Porter, right, grabs a rebound

  • Show more sharing options
  • Copy Link URL Copied!

The NBA has opened an investigation into Toronto two-way player Jontay Porter amid gambling allegations, something Raptors coach Darko Rajaković said he became aware of shortly before the team’s game Monday night.

A league spokesman confirmed that the investigation had been opened. ESPN first reported the investigation, which it said surrounded Porter’s performance in games Jan. 26 and March 20. In both games, Porter played briefly before leaving citing injury or illness.

Porter played 4 minutes and 24 seconds against the Clippers in the first of those games, then played 2:43 against Sacramento in the second game.

“I never doubt injuries. I never doubt honestly from players,” Rajaković said. “Obviously, I’ve never had a situation like this before.”

Los Angeles, CA - March 24: Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani.

Shohei Ohtani says he never bet on sports in first remarks since Ippei Mizuhara accusations

Shohei Ohtani spoke for the first time since his interpreter was accused of stealing the ballplayer’s funds to place bets with an illegal bookmaker.

March 25, 2024

In both of those games, Porter did not come close to hitting the prop-wager lines for points, rebounds and three-pointers that bettors could play. ESPN said the props surrounding Porter for the Clippers game were 5.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists; he finished with no points, three rebounds and one assist. For the Kings game, they were around 7.5 points and 5.5 rebounds; Porter finished that game with no points and two rebounds.

Porter was away from the Raptors for Monday’s home game against Brooklyn, with the team citing personal reasons. He also was out for Saturday’s loss at Washington, again for personal reasons. His locker was empty ahead of Monday’s game against the Nets, although his nameplate was still in place. Rajaković said he had not discussed the matter with his team.

“I don’t know their reaction,” Rajaković said. “I just know nobody wants those kind of situations to happen to anybody, to any team. We’ve just got to deal with it.”

In Las Vegas, Jay Kornegay, Westgate vice president of race and sports operations, said in a text message that his sportsbook received “alerts that there were betting irregularities” regarding those games, but his casino didn’t have any player props up involving Porter for the dates in question.

The 24-year-old Porter, the brother of Denver forward Michael Porter, is averaging 4.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 26 games, including five starts. The 6-foot-10 Porter also played in 11 games for Memphis in the 2020-21 season.

Lakers forward LeBron James (23) shoots over Indiana Pacers center-forward Myles Turner, March 24, 2024, in Los Angeles.

Where does Lakers’ 150-point outburst against Pacers rank on all-time franchise list?

The Lakers’ 150-145 win over the Indiana Pacers was notable because the avalanche of points came in regulation, not overtime. What are other memorable shootouts?

The league requires players to attend one “anti-gambling training session conducted by their Team and/or the NBA” each year. At least four G League players have been suspended, those sanctions ranging from three to five games, for violating gambling policies this season and in 2022, six NBA 2K League players were disqualified for breaking that league’s gambling-related rules.

Per NBA rules, any player who “wagers money or anything of value on any game or event in the Association or in the NBA G League” can face sanctions from Commissioner Adam Silver ranging from a fine to “perpetual disqualification” from the league.

The NBA has had business relationships with gaming companies for years, and lists FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings as official gaming partners. The league also has relationships with at least 24 other gaming operators.

Last week, Cleveland Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff revealed he received threats from gamblers last season and reported it to the NBA. “They got my telephone number and were sending me crazy messages about where I live and my kids and all that stuff,” Bickerstaff said. “So it is a dangerous game and a fine line that we’re walking for sure.”

Bickerstaff was asked the question after All-Star guard Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers indicated days earlier that he’s grown tired of regularly hearing criticism from people on social media about their prop bets.

Raptors forward Jordan Nwora offered a similar assessment Monday, saying he and other players routinely hear how their on-court performance affects bettors.

“All the time. Non-stop,” Nwora said in comments published by the Canadian Press. “You get messages. You hear it on the sideline. You see guys talking about it all the time. It is what it is. It comes with being in the NBA. People bet on silly things on a daily basis. So, I mean, it’s part of being in the NBA. It’s what comes with it. I get it.”

And on Monday, Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani said he never bet on sports or knowingly paid any gambling debts accumulated by his longtime interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara. Ohtani said Mizuhara lied to him for years and stole millions from him, in what were his first public comments about the illegal gambling and theft allegations involving him and his interpreter.
