High Roller plans to launch a US prediction markets product with Crypto.com
The company raised approximately $25m to support growth and market entry
Multiple non-binding partnerships have been signed to support marketing and product expansion

High Roller Technologies has provided a shareholder update detailing its planned expansion into regulated US prediction markets, alongside recent financing activity and a series of partnership initiatives intended to support growth in 2026.

The company confirmed that it is preparing to launch an event-based prediction markets product in partnership with Crypto.com.

Under the arrangement, Crypto.com will supply regulated event contracts through its Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)-registered exchange and clearinghouse infrastructure. 

High Roller said the collaboration is designed to support a compliant market entry while allowing the company to scale its consumer offering following launch.

According to High Roller, the US prediction markets segment represents a significant growth opportunity. Industry estimates from Eilers & Krejcik Gaming project that the market could exceed $1tn in trading volume and $10bn in revenue by 2030, driven by increasing consumer engagement with event-based trading formats.

To support execution, High Roller strengthened its capital position earlier in January by completing a registered direct offering of 1.89 million shares, raising approximately $25m in gross proceeds. The company also secured a $1m strategic investment from Saratoga Casino Holdings, marking Saratoga’s first investment in the online gaming sector. High Roller stated that the funding will be used to support product development, customer acquisition and go-to-market initiatives.

In parallel, the company has continued to expand its partner ecosystem. Non-binding letters of intent have been signed with social-first media groups Leverage Game Media and Forever Network, aimed at building brand awareness and accelerating customer acquisition for its prediction markets product. 

High Roller has also entered into a non-binding agreement with Altenar Software to explore the addition of a managed sportsbook solution and has partnered with Power Protocol to assess Web3-enabled engagement models.

The update follows internal leadership changes made in late 2025, including the promotion of Carlo Scappaticci to CMO and the appointment of Frances Cong as Director of Marketing.
