High Roller Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ROLR) has entered into a binding letter of intent with Crypto.com | Derivatives North America for an exclusive partnership to launch an event-based prediction markets product in the United States. The arrangement is subject to the execution of definitive agreements. Under the proposed partnership, event contracts offered by Crypto.com Derivatives North America, a CFTC-registered exchange and clearinghouse, would be made available to customers through HighRoller.com. This would enable trading across markets including finance, entertainment, and sports via a regulated platform.
The companies are targeting a product launch in the first quarter of 2026. Crypto.com would serve as the exclusive provider of prediction contracts across High Roller distribution channels. High Roller Technologies is a leading global online gaming operator known for its innovative casino brands, High Roller and Fruta. The company delivers a cutting-edge real-money online casino platform that is intuitive and user-friendly, with a diverse portfolio of over 6,000 premium games from more than 90 leading game providers.
This partnership is important because it represents a major step in bringing regulated prediction markets to the U.S. mainstream. Prediction markets allow users to trade contracts based on the outcome of future events, such as election results, box office earnings, or sports championships. By operating through a CFTC-registered entity like Crypto.com Derivatives North America, the venture aims to provide a legal and secure alternative to unregulated platforms. The impact could be significant for the financial and gaming industries, creating a new, compliant asset class for U.S. investors and bettors.
The collaboration leverages High Roller's established distribution and user base through its website, https://ir.highroller.com/, with Crypto.com's regulatory infrastructure. For consumers, this could mean access to a wider range of betting products with the protections of a regulated exchange. For the industry, it may set a precedent for similar partnerships between gaming operators and financial exchanges, potentially expanding the market for event contracts. The global iGaming industry is a multi-billion dollar sector, and this move could further blur the lines between entertainment gaming and financial speculation.
The announcement was distributed via CryptoCurrencyWire (CCW), a specialized communications platform focused on blockchain and cryptocurrency.
