A prediction market inside your casino

A section where players bet on whether a real-world event will happen — an election result, a crypto price on a date, a film's box office — instead of on a game or a match. Each market has a question, a set of outcomes and a resolution date, and winning bets are paid when the outcome is known.

The format became widely known through Polymarket and Kalshi, where trading on events grew from a niche into billions of dollars a month. In a casino it works as one more product next to slots, live tables and the sportsbook: the player stays on your site and in your wallet.

It differs from a sportsbook in what is bet on and how long a bet lives. Sportsbook markets settle within hours of a match; a prediction market can stay open for days or weeks, and its topics — politics, economics, crypto, culture — reach people who never bet on football.

It is a third-party integration with HypeMarket. The market opens in a Predictions tab inside your storefront, the player is signed in with their casino account, and every bet and payout moves the same balance they use for the casino.

The integration follows the same pattern as the sportsbook: a partner product placed inside the platform rather than a separate site with its own logins and deposits.

A Predictions tab in the storefront's section switch, next to Casino and Sport. Visitors who are not signed in can browse the markets but not bet; signed-in players bet in their wallet currency if the market accepts it.

Showing the markets to guests is deliberate: the questions themselves are the hook, and a visitor who sees an open market on an election or a coin price has a reason to register.

A player whose active wallet currency the market does not take sees the markets read-only, with a prompt naming the currencies it does accept so they can switch wallets. Which currencies are open depends on the agreement with HypeMarket for your brand.

The market opens in the player's language where HypeMarket has it, and in English otherwise.

A bet is debited from the player's real balance when it is placed and settled when the market resolves, which can be days later. Bonus money is never used on the market, and every bet is settled exactly once.

Bonus funds are kept out for a practical reason. A bonus has wagering requirements and a time limit; a prediction that stays open for a week would hold that bonus in suspense the whole time. So market bets use real money only and do not count towards wagering — the casino's bonus system is unaffected.

Every movement goes through the platform's double-entry ledger, the same one behind casino games and payments. Repeated or delayed messages from the market cannot pay a bet twice, a cancelled bet is refunded, and bets that stay open longer than expected are visible for reconciliation.

Whether the section exists and where its tab sits. The Predictions section is switched on or off per brand in the back office, self-excluded players cannot bet, and market activity is included in partner revenue share like any other provider.

What the operator does not run is the market itself: the events, how outcomes are priced and how they resolve are HypeMarket's side of the arrangement. How the rest of the panel works is on the back office page.

To reach players a casino and a sportsbook do not: people who follow news, politics and crypto and would bet on what they already have an opinion about. It also gives existing players a reason to come back between sessions, because their open predictions resolve over days.

It suits brands whose audience lives in crypto communities and Telegram, where events and prices are the daily conversation, and streamers who can build content around a live market. A crypto casino and a Telegram casino are the natural fits.

It is not a replacement for the casino's core revenue. Treat it as a product that widens the audience and the reasons to open your site, and judge it on that.

It is betting on events, and whether your licence covers it depends on the jurisdiction and the markets you serve. Licensing is the operator's responsibility; WW Games does not hold or sublicense a gambling licence, and can put operators in touch with licensing providers.

In the United States, Polymarket and Kalshi operate as exchanges for event contracts under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. That framework does not carry over to an online casino: outside it, a bet on an event offered to players is generally treated as gambling, and the licence has to allow it. Check event betting specifically when you choose a jurisdiction — they are compared on licensing.

All three let an operator add a prediction market to a casino. The difference is the mechanism: SOFTSWISS takes fixed-odds bets against the operator, Slotegrator matches players against each other for a commission, and on WW Games HypeMarket runs the markets inside the platform's existing account and wallet.

"Not published" means the vendor does not state it on the page, not that it does not exist. The wider comparisons are on SOFTSWISS alternative and Slotegrator alternative.
