- iGaming company says it will roll out prediction platform in 2026
- It’s partnering with Crypto.com
High Roller Technologies (NYSE: ROLR) today confirmed it will launch a prediction markets platform at some point this year.
As expected, the Las Vegas-based iGaming company is entering the event contracts space via a partnership with Crypto.com Derivatives North America (CDNA). News of the relationship with Crypto.com sent High Roller shares soaring earlier this month.
Over the past several months, we’ve achieved multiple strategic milestones to strengthen and accelerate our growth roadmap,” said Higher Roller CEO Seth Young in a shareholder update. ““Key among these initiatives is our binding partnership with CDNA to support our planned expansion into the regulated U.S. prediction markets category.”
High Roller didn’t provide an exact launch date for its prediction market offering, but it appears it will occur at some point this year with Young adding “we are expecting to rapidly scale our consumer base” upon launch.
With High Roller, Crypto.com Adds Another PM Partner
Crypto.com was one of the first companies to offer sports event contracts in the US, indicating it’s an ideal partner for High Roller, which is also planning an expansion of its sport betting platform.
For its part, the cryptocurrency brokerage firm is assembling an impressive collection of prediction market partners. Those companies include Fanatics, Underdog, and Hollywood.com.
Crypto.com announced a partnership with Trump Media and Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT) through which prediction markets will be integrated directly onto Truth Social making that the first social media platform to feature direct integration of event contracts.
Confirmation of the Crypto.com relationship and broader prediction markets plans arrives a week after High Roller announced $25 million in financing, which sent the previously high-flying stock tumbling. However, that capital is likely essential to the company’s plans to compete in the ultra-competitive prediction markets industry.
“With our recently completed $25 million financing, High Roller is well-positioned and well-capitalized to invest in product development, customer acquisition, and go-to-market execution as we prepare for launch,” adds Young. “We have already announced several relationships to rapidly ramp this new product and we’re moving quickly to establish awareness and adoption.”
Higher Roller Stock not for Faint of Heart
Confirming investors’ desire for anything resembling a pure-play prediction markets stock, High Roller traded around $3.50 before Crypto.com news was announced with those headlines sparking a nearly six-fold rally in the shares.
The stock has since come back to earth, closing at $7.12 today — a decline hastened in part by the aforementioned $25 million capital raise.
However, High Roller, which has a market capitalization of just $78.66 million, could gain more widespread appeal among investors if it executes on its prediction market plan because the giants in the space are privately held companies and the publicly traded options aren’t dedicated prediction markets or gaming entities.
