Roobet, which positions itself as a crypto-first gaming platform, launched an integrated prediction markets product on May 6, 2026, positioning itself as the first major crypto casino to offer the format natively alongside its existing casino and sportsbook operations, the company announced.

Roobet Integrates Prediction Markets Directly Into Its Existing Platform

The new feature, accessible at roobet.com/predictions, allows users to take positions on outcomes across sports, culture, and global events using their existing Roobet accounts and balances. 

According to Roobet, no additional onboarding is required, and users operate from a single wallet across all three products: the casino, sportsbook, and prediction markets. The company described the integration as eliminating friction for existing users by removing the need to create separate accounts or transfer funds between platforms.

Unlike standalone prediction market platforms, Roobet said its offering is built natively into its ecosystem. The company said this architecture gives players immediate access to markets using existing account balances, with no interruption to their experience across other products on the platform. Roobet did not disclose the technology infrastructure underpinning the prediction markets product or name any third-party providers involved in building it.

Roobet CEO Cites Global Momentum in Prediction Markets as Context for Launch 

Matt Duea, CEO of Roobet, attributed the launch to the team’s execution and cited growing global interest in prediction markets as context for the timing, saying: 

“Bringing prediction markets to Roobet is a natural evolution of our platform. I’m incredibly proud of the team for getting this feature live. We’re excited to give our players something new that adds another layer of engagement and entertainment to the experience, especially at a time when prediction markets are gaining so much momentum globally.”

Rollout Details and Expansion Timeline Not Yet Announced 

In his statement, Duea did not specify which global events or categories would be available at launch, nor did he outline plans for market expansion beyond what the company disclosed separately.  

Roobet said the initial rollout will feature markets tied to major upcoming global events, with continuous expansion planned across sports, entertainment, and internet culture. The company did not specify a timeline for that expansion or identify the events that would be available at launch. No further operational or structural details about the product were disclosed in the announcement.
