Gambling on games is not legal. The given statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gambling is illegal and affects the reputation of the participating athletes and the organization for which they play. It must not be tolerated.

According to the National Athletic Trainers Association, "We shall not, direct or indirect use obtained information in the period of the practice of the athletic training to attempt to induce financial gain through gambling or influence the score of an athletic event".

This law means that the athlete or the institution or school or college for which the individual is playing should not disclose or use the information obtained either indirectly or directly to any source in the training to effect the score or to stimulate financial gain by gambling. If they are reported of any such claims, they will either be fined or penalized.
