Winners Inc has confirmed the completion of its acquisition of Moneyline Sports, concluding a transaction first announced in October and marking a strategic shift toward predictive sports analytics and data-driven prediction markets.
The operator, which trades on the OTC Pink Market under the ticker WNRS, said the acquisition gives it full access to Moneyline Sports' proprietary technology stack.
This includes AI-powered analytics tools, the Bettor Chat in-game messaging platform, and MeVu.com, a peer-to-peer predictive markets trading platform.
Shareholders of Moneyline Sports are expected to receive electronic notices regarding the issuance of Winners Inc shares in exchange for their existing holdings.
The transaction coincides with a change in leadership, with Michael Friedman appointed as CEO. Michael Handelman remains CFO, while Wayne Allyn Root continues in a strategic advisory role.
Winners said Friedman's appointment follows a completed change in control designed to support the integration of Moneyline Sports and the operator's revised market focus.
Winners stated that it does not have convertible debt or preferred stock outstanding and is progressing toward a full audit by a PCAOB approved firm.
The operator also said it intends to uplist to the OTCQB market once eligibility requirements are met, with longer term ambitions to seek a Nasdaq listing.
A Regulation A financing is currently being prepared, with a filing targeted for the first quarter of 2026.
The move reflects wider consolidation across the sports data and analytics sector, as operators and suppliers position themselves around regulated betting and prediction markets.
Earlier this year, Sportradar closed its acquisition of IMG Arena, taking control of a global sports betting rights portfolio covering more than 70 rights holders following regulatory approvals in the UK. The deal highlighted growing demand for scalable data infrastructure and diversified revenue models across sports betting ecosystems.
Winners said year-end 2025 marks the completion of its transition toward a vertically integrated platform focused on AI-driven analytics, trading tools, and blockchain-enabled prediction markets, with further operational updates expected in 2026.
Winners' shares trade on the OTC Pink Market through approved brokers, with some platforms requiring additional authorization for OTC securities trading
