Novig Offers $25 Bonus for New Users After $10 MLB Market Purchase

Q: What specific in-game restrictions did MLB demand before partnering with Novig's rapidly expanding sports prediction exchange?

MLB required Novig to bar certain high-risk in-game markets before granting it authorized status and moving ahead with the partnership. The league’s integrity framework specifically prohibited markets on a single pitch, an individual umpire’s calls, and one-off managerial decisions. Those restrictions were imposed because MLB viewed those outcomes as especially vulnerable to manipulation: a single person can influence them without necessarily changing the game’s final result, making abuse harder to detect. Reporting around MLB’s broader prediction-market agreements also described similar limits on markets tied to individual pitches, manager decisions, and umpire performance. So the specific in-game guardrails MLB demanded were aimed at removing the most integrity-sensitive micro-markets rather than banning standard game-outcome trading.
