Prediction markets are event-based trading contracts — YES/NO outcomes on sports, politics and finance — where prices are set by the market rather than a bookmaker's line. KPMG reports that combined 2025 trading volume across Kalshi and Polymarket exceeded $40 billion, up from roughly $9 billion in 2024. Separately, sports generated 89% of Kalshi's fee revenue — a venue-specific result, not a market-wide share.
Operators do not need another API widget. They need the full product, risk management, reporting and casino cross-sell layer around the liquidity. That is what this platform runs.
The current product documentation lists Polymarket as the first integration; Kalshi, Manifold and other on-chain venues remain roadmap items. The order-book values below are synthetic UI examples, not live venue depth or a production routing claim.
Turbo Stars can configure the technical stack for an operator's documented licence and target market. The operator, its counsel and the relevant regulator determine whether a product may be offered in that jurisdiction.
A configuration option for operators that have independently confirmed the applicable licence, target-market permissions and AML/KYC controls.
Prediction-market acquisition can bring funded users into the same player journey. With one wallet, KYC flow and player view, operators can measure whether a prediction-market session leads to incremental casino or sportsbook activity instead of assuming cross-sell from a market-wide audience percentage.
The 41% and +28% figures shown above are anonymised first-party results from one Q2 2026 Curaçao cohort. They are not market benchmarks; publication-grade comparison requires the cohort dates, denominator, event definitions and exclusions listed in the evidence register.
UI, analytics, risk management, reporting and marketing funnels are part of the product. The operator team gets the surface it runs the business on, not a thin wrapper around someone else's API.
Polymarket is the documented first integration. Kalshi, Manifold and other sources remain roadmap items; production status, commercial rights and target-market permission must be verified before any source is quoted as available.
Casino, sportsbook and Polybetting share the same wallet and player view. Prediction markets can fund casino acquisition while sport-aligned bets feed sportsbook retention.
Technical controls are configured to the operator's documented licence and target market; integration does not itself grant authorisation.
The business model is fundamentally different. Prediction markets are not a sportsbook variant — they are a separate vertical with a different risk model, event coverage and cross-sell economics.
| Dimension | Traditional sportsbook | Prediction markets |
|---|---|---|
| Risk model | Operator prices odds and holds margin risk | Market sets prices; operator earns platform or trading fees |
| Margin structure | Hold varies by product, event mix and operator model | Venue and platform fees vary; model cross-sell as a separate measured cohort |
| Event coverage | Sports and racing primarily | Sports, politics, finance, entertainment, custom events |
| Liquidity source | Operator's own book and trading desk | Polymarket documented first; Kalshi, Manifold and other venues on the roadmap |
| Trading desk | Required for pricing and risk management | Depends on venue, routing, retained exposure and commercial terms |
| Casino cross-sell | Standard deposit upsell | Same-wallet flow; a Curaçao first-party case reported 41% in week one |
| Sport alignment | Competes for sports budget | Shared player view → measures incremental sportsbook retention |
| Launch complexity | Trading stack, pricing team, risk tools | Single operator integration; timeline scoped by venues, controls and jurisdiction |

Prediction markets for iGaming operators are event-based trading platforms where players buy and sell YES/NO contracts on real-world outcomes — sports results, elections and financial events — with prices determined by supply and demand rather than a bookmaker's line. KPMG reports that combined 2025 trading volume across Kalshi and Polymarket exceeded $40 billion, while sports generated 89% of Kalshi's fee revenue specifically.
Turbo Stars documents a B2B operator stack with UI, analytics, risk management, reporting and marketing funnels. Polymarket is the documented first integration; Kalshi, Manifold and other venues are roadmap items rather than current production sources. Rights and availability must be verified for the proposed deployment.
Each venue runs its own order book, pricing shape and settlement path. Polybetting is designed to normalise permitted sources into one operator view. The current documentation lists Polymarket as the first integration; Kalshi, Manifold and other on-chain venues remain roadmap items, not current aggregated depth.
Not automatically. The required authorisation depends on the target jurisdiction, contract design, distribution model and operator entity. Platform readiness or an offshore licence does not replace permission required by the market being served; the regulatory scope must be confirmed before launch.
Casino, sportsbook and Polybetting can share one wallet, KYC flow and player view, so a prediction-market bet can lead into casino without a second account flow. An anonymised Q2 2026 Curaçao first-party case reported 41% week-one casino cross-sell and +28% LTV uplift for the defined cross-sell cohort. These are case results, not universal industry benchmarks; cohort definitions and sample evidence are required for external comparison.
It can. A shared player view lets operators measure product sequence, audience overlap and incremental sportsbook activity. The effect should be validated with a defined cohort rather than inferred from a universal sport-alignment percentage.
A full operator stack. The operator team gets the surface it runs the business on — depth, risk management, reporting and funnels — and new liquidity sources can be added inside the aggregator without another operator-side integration.
Yes. Turbo Stars is a B2B prediction market platform provider — it supplies an operator stack (UI, analytics, risk management, reporting and casino cross-sell) on top of venue integrations, not just an API feed. The delivery and authorisation scope is defined for the operator's target market.
Yes. The platform can run as a white-label prediction market under the operator's own brand, wallet and KYC, so a brand launches prediction markets without building the aggregation, risk or reporting layer itself. Because it shares one player view with casino and sportsbook, the white-label deployment is what makes the cross-sell economics work rather than a siloed widget.
Yes. A turnkey prediction market solution can combine venue integration, operator UI, risk controls and reporting. There is no universal eight-week promise: an anonymised Curaçao case reported that timeline, while each launch must be scoped for integration depth, certification and target authorisation.
