“Major League Baseball, Sportsbooks Agree to $200 Limit on Micro‑Betting After Pitch‑Fixing Scandal”
In response to recent allegations of betting manipulation involving two players from the Cleveland Guardians, MLB and major sportsbook operators have agreed to restrict certain in‑game wagering markets. Casino.org+1
Under the new framework, bets on individual pitches (for example: ball/strike count or pitch velocity) will be capped at $200, and such markets will be excluded from parlays—a move designed to reduce integrity risk and manipulation potential. Casino.org
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred stated the league is intensifying cooperation with gaming regulators and operators to protect the game’s integrity in a post‑PASPA, sports‑betting environment. Casino.org
