SOFTSWISS, a global iGaming software provider with over 15 years of industry experience, will host a LinkedIn Live panel on 25 June 2026 at 14:00 CET.
The session, titled Prediction Markets for iGaming: Risks and Opportunities, will bring together experts from SOFTSWISS and NEXT.io to explore one of the most discussed emerging verticals in the industry.
Prediction Markets have attracted significant attention across iGaming, with global trading volume exceeding 55 million euro in 2025 alone.
Operators are increasingly asking difficult questions about product positioning, risk management, liquidity models, and regulatory compliance as interest in the vertical grows.
The panel will tackle whether Prediction Markets should be treated as a standalone product or simply as a sportsbook add-on for operators looking to enter the space.
Speakers will also debate the merits of P2P versus fixed odds pricing models and examine which approach better serves both operators and their players.
The discussion will further address how regulatory and operational risks in Prediction Markets can be identified and managed effectively by iGaming businesses.
Panellists include Pierre Lindh, co-founder and managing director at NEXT.io, Zak Thomas-Akoo, head of Investigative Content, Iren Kuznietsova, head of Partner Success at SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, and Anton Lishchuk, business development manager at SOFTSWISS Sportsbook.
Alexander Kamenetskyi, head of Operations at SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, said: “Many operators are still trying to understand where the real opportunities in Prediction Markets lie and what risks come with them. Through this discussion, we want to help businesses cut through the hype and focus on the practical realities. The panel will provide a clearer view of what launching Prediction Markets actually involves and how this model can fit operators’ business goals.”
The panel will also examine whether the EU or US regulatory and commercial model will ultimately shape the global Prediction Markets landscape going forward.
Industry professionals are encouraged to submit their most pressing Prediction Markets questions ahead of the session for the panel to address live.
