What exactly are the limitations placed on referees in regards to gambling?

Like, are they only allowed to gamble on some things (obviously not the NHL) or some sports, casino games alright?
Im bringing this up due to the Tim Donaghy situation in the NBA.
How about the other sports like the NFL, MLB or NBA in regards to their refs gambling rules.
Do they all have the same basic limitations?
Big question = Big answer = Big points

Any member of the NHL family (including myself) is prohibited from betting on any hockey event.
While not strictly prohibited, gambling in any nature, is frowned upon by the NHL (just ask Andy Van Hellemond and Jaromir Jagr).

Jagr was quietly fined by Bettman. Rumours abound that Mario was the one who paid off his debt too.
