Prediction Markets

In this episode, we delve into one of the most disruptive forces shaping the gambling and financial landscape in 2025: prediction markets.

We’re joined by Mackenzie Schanke and Matt Carey from Vixio, who specialise in regulation across North America.

Fresh from the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas, Mackenzie and Matt unpack how prediction markets have evolved from niche forecasting tools into regulated financial products. Examining what that means for operators, investors, and policymakers.

In conversation, the pair will look to answer:
- What are prediction markets?
- How did we get here?
- Why isn't this sports betting?
- Where do we go from here?

Since recording this episode, the prediction market landscape has continued to shift rapidly. We encourage Vixio subscribers to access the U.S. Regulatory Review: Prediction Markets report, which outlines the current federal framework, recent enforcement actions, and emerging legal trends.

Listeners will gain timely insights into how prediction markets are redefining the boundaries between finance and gaming and what these developments could mean for the future of regulation.
