OAKLAND PARK, Fla (Gambling911.com) - For the first time ever, prop bets are being offered for players competing in the Little League Baseball World Series (LLBWS).
Gambling911.com first learned that Betonline, which has been in business since 1999 and is now among the world's top global gambling websites, had intended to offer LLWS player prop bets.
We reached out to the Little League World Series for reaction and have not yet heard back.
Twitter/X is already abuzz with controversy surrounding little league betting, and these new markets from BetOnline Sports & Casino are sure to spark more debate.
In June, BetOnline offered betting odds on the Special Olympics three years after the company was lambasted for doing so.
"As a former Special Olympics medals presenter, I was under the full and idyllic impression that competitors competed for the sake of having fun while enhancing self-worth, not as the building block a seedy gambling operation uses to make money. This one is beyond sick."
So "sick" that when Gambling911.com reached out to Special Olympics organizers about this year's betting, they simply brushed it off.
They issued a statement to Gambling911.com.
"Neither Special Olympics nor the 2026 USA Games organizing committee are able to provide comment as neither has an affiliation with BetOnline.ag."
Come to find out, they were partnering with - drum roll please - FanDuel.
So much for all the faux outrage from a few years back.
The Little League World Series issued the following statement to Gambling911.com:
"Little League International stands by its statement first issued last year that there is no place for betting on Little League games and players or any youth sports competition. Little League is a trusted place where children are learning the fundamentals of the games and all the important life lessons that come with having fun, celebrating teamwork, and playing with integrity, and no one should be exploiting the success and failures of children playing the game they love for their own personal gain."
"We're not here to say whether gambling on 10-, 11- and 12-year-olds is right or wrong, that's up for you to decide (and possibly write about), we're just delivering the information," BetOnline tells Gambling911.com.
Four standout players are being featured in the props, and one is a girl. Kinley Rasmus is the daughter of former MLB pitcher Cory Rasmus and the niece of MLB veteran Colby Rasmus. Both Dad and Uncle also played in the LLBWS for Phenix City, Alabama.
