Betting integrity rules prevent NRL stars from placing bets on any Rugby League-related matter, from player transfers to match results.
In the past, some players have faced sanctions for breaching the NRL’s betting rules.
Notably, Wests Tigers centre Tim Simona had been deregistered by the NRL in 2017 after he had been found to have bet against his own team.
Simona had wagered money against his own team winning and on opposition players scoring against the Tigers.
Brimson joined the Titans in 2018 with the fullback going on to establish himself as a key face at the club.
He has since made 112 appearances for the Gold Coast, notably returning five tries across 13 appearances this season.
