Kyle Lafferty has been fined for a breach of the Football Association's betting rules.
The Norwich striker was charged last month with placing a bet on February 20 of this year.
He accepted the charge and was warned about his future conduct and ordered to pay a £23,000 penalty.
A worldwide ban on betting on football came into force in August 2014 which prohibited players, coaches, match officials and club staff from placing bets on football matches.
Games are covered by the ruling at Premier League, Football League, National League and Women's Super League levels, as well as those at clubs in the Northern, Southern and Isthmian leagues.
No participant can bet on a match or competition in which they are involved that season, or which they can influence, or any other football-related matter concerning the league that they play in.
