ADI Predictstreet has received regulatory approval in Gibraltar to extend its prediction markets beyond football. The platform, which launched as FIFA’s Official Prediction Market Partner for the 2026 World Cup, will now cover additional sectors including other sports, entertainment, weather, and political events.
Regulatory Approval and Market Expansion
Gibraltar authorities completed an extensive review of the platform’s operations and endorsed its initial regulatory framework. This clearance enables a phased rollout of new markets following the football season. The platform first launched in Gibraltar, establishing the peninsula’s first prediction market. CEO Dimitrios Psarrakis stated that "Successfully completing this first phase with Gibraltar validates both our platform and our approach to responsible innovation." The company plans to use sports as a foundation while developing a system for forecasting broader real-world events.Partnerships, Technology and International Review
To support the expansion, ADI Predictstreet has established partnerships with Kalshi, Fanatics Markets, Matchbook, and DAZN. These collaborations aim to increase market liquidity and extend geographic reach across the US, UK, Ireland, Brazil, and streaming platforms. The platform operates on ADI Chain, an institutional blockchain built on ZKsync’s Airbender zero-knowledge proof technology to ensure compliance.Gibraltar minister for Justice, Trade and Industry Nigel Feetham described the approval as forward-looking regulation that encourages new market creation. He highlighted the platform’s rapid international recognition as evidence of the territory’s evolving financial ecosystem. Meanwhile, Germany’s Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder has opened a formal review into the platform’s advertising during World Cup matches.
The investigation will determine whether the unlicensed operator’s marketing violates German gambling advertising laws.
