High Roller Technologies becomes diamond sponsor of NEXTPredict 2026

Published Oct 19, 2026Updated 2h ago

High Roller Technologies will serve as diamond sponsor of the NEXTPredict 2026 prediction markets summit on October 22. The conference's speaker lineup includes executives from DraftKings, Robinhood, and Crypto.com. The sponsorship follows High Roller's recent hiring of prediction markets veteran Pidot as chief business officer. High Roller is an igaming operator without an existing prediction markets footprint. The NEXTPredict visibility comes as the operator pursues a $1 billion revenue target by 2030.

Why this matters?

High Roller's sponsorship signals it is buying credibility before it has products to show. The igaming operator hired Pidot to build an event-contract business from scratch, but it still lacks exchange infrastructure and state licenses. The NEXTPredict stage lets potential partners and market makers judge whether High Roller is a serious entrant or a well-funded pretender.

Kalshi, Polymarket, and DraftKings are already racing for regulated U.S. market share. High Roller must convert its igaming customers into event-contract traders before those rivals lock them in. The October 22 summit is a first test of whether Pidot's industry relationships translate into tangible deals.

The bigger picture

High Roller joins a widening circle of non-prediction-market-native firms betting on the sector's mainstream breakout, after Crypto.com and Robinhood both used the Predict 2026 conference to stake their own claims on U.S. event-contract infrastructure.
