High Roller Outlines US Prediction Markets via Crypto.com Deal

High Roller Technologies has signed a letter of intent with Crypto.com to form a partnership aimed at launching event-based prediction markets across the United States.

High Roller plans entry into US prediction markets through a partnership with Crypto.com, signalling a move into federally regulated event contracts across the digital gaming space. The agreement places High Roller, a publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker ROLR, as a distribution route for event contracts under federal oversight. Based on a press release, Crypto.com | Derivatives North America will offer the prediction contracts as a Commodity Futures Trading Commission-registered exchange and clearinghouse.

Users will access these contracts through HighRoller.com under the proposed operational structure stated by both companies. High Roller CEO Seth Young said the company plans to combine prediction markets with its distribution network to deliver access to consumers nationwide. He added that the company aims to present its platform experience across the country through this integration. The platform should allow customers to trade outcome positions across finance indicators, entertainment events, and sports markets within a regulated structure. High Roller operates online casino brands High Roller and Fruta, each serving users in the digital casino sector.

The partnership shows industry movement toward merging prediction markets with gaming platforms as operators review options beyond sports betting models in the US. High Roller confirmed the agreement depends on final documents covering legal and commercial terms. The letter of intent holds binding intent, yet the transaction may not reach completion. If completed, both companies plan market launches this quarter with Crypto.com acting as the sole prediction contract provider across High Roller channels.

Crypto.com Strengthens Position in Prediction Markets

Crypto.com has followed several partnerships during the past year while expanding its prediction markets services. In September, the firm partnered with Underdog Fantasy to deliver sports prediction markets across 16 states. These offerings focused mainly on states without legal sports wagering frameworks. In November, Crypto.com entered social gaming through an agreement with MyPrize. December then saw the launch of Fanatics Markets through a partnership with Fanatics. Hollywood.com and Truth Social also signed similar agreements.

Regulatory response has created barriers despite this expansion trend. During December, Crypto.com confirmed withdrawal of sports contracts from Arizona, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, and Ohio after regulator objections. In Nevada, the company failed to secure a preliminary injunction against the Nevada Gaming Control Board in October. This decision led Crypto.com to stop all sports-related contracts within the state.
