NBA Finals Game 1 delivered the biggest active customer day in DraftKings Predictions history.
Bigger than the Super Bowl.
That's the power of bringing sports experiences nationwide. And we're just getting started.
@atrupar Blind trust requirements for Congressional prediction markets trading, the governance conversation is moving fast. Would be great to cover this at NEXTPredict NYC in October.
@nypost $40bn+ in combined valuations, competition at this level of intensity. Interesting signal for where the category is heading. Tracking this for NEXTPredict NYC in October.
@Yueqi_Yang Small businesses using prediction markets as insurance, this is the use case people keep missing. We would be glad to host @Yueqi_Yang at NEXTPredict NYC in October.

Feel free to reach out if you are open to meet!
@GovWesMoore State governance for prediction markets forming in real time now. Certainly an interesting space to watch. Tracking this for NEXTPredict NYC in October.
@Nature Nature covering prediction markets is something else. The academic scrutiny is catching up with the volumes. Would love to have @Nature at NEXTPredict NYC in October.
@tbpn@iscoe Prop trading firms recruiting from prediction markets, interesting signal for where the talent is forming. We would be glad to host @tbpn at NEXTPredict NYC in October.
@cafreiman Interesting framing. If the prices are wrong, the opportunity is right there as well obviously. Would be great to cover this at NEXTPredict NYC in October.
@SaraEisen Interesting to see CNBC following prediction markets product launches this closely. Would love to have @SaraEisen at NEXTPredict NYC in October.
@KevinWSHPod@mansourtarek_@Kalshi Regulated perps launching in the US, certainly an interesting moment for the category. We would be glad to host @KevinWSHPod at NEXTPredict NYC in October.
back from @nextdotio summit
my short take:
- @Snap x iGaming is still underrated, especially for younger mobile-first audiences (we’ll hear much more about it soon)
- clipping is becoming a real marketing infra (cheaper & more viral alternative to traditional ads)
- investment conversations around iGaming are getting more serious
- PM is no longer a side topic in gambling
- crypto still had a strong presence
thanks for the great speeches: @adarziv@txzzmorar@ishanhaq@GmblrMartin@Pierreobv
best part for me was the meetings
had a strong talk with Alex Verbitsky (from Raine Group) on capital in iGaming, and a very good one with @Hecrypton from @trylimitless
big takeaway there:
most operators still don’t understand prediction markets well enough
fixed-odds books carry house risk, but P2P doesn’t
that changes the product, and the acquisition story too
great summit overall
thanks @nextdotio for putting it together.
@robinhanson The whale concentration question gets to the core of how these markets actually function. We would be glad to host @robinhanson at NEXTPredict NYC in October.
Full house at our @nextpredictio#predictionmarkets conference here in #Malta today with 300+ builders on the European side. What we see publicly with @Kalshi & @Polymarket is just the very tip of the iceberg of this nascent industry.
