Former NBA player Jontay Porter has estimated that he wagered at least half a billion dollars during his gambling activities, according to a report from HoopsHype on Tuesday.

The claim emerges amid ongoing scrutiny of Porter's betting history, which previously led to his lifetime ban from the NBA in April 2024 for violating league gambling policies. Porter, who last played for the Toronto Raptors, has not publicly detailed the specific timeframe or types of bets included in the half-billion-dollar figure.

The NBA's investigation into Porter found he disclosed confidential information to sports bettors and placed bets on NBA games, including at least one wager on his own team. The league did not disclose total wager amounts at the time of his ban.
