From Prediction-Market Buzz to Business Reality: Why Operators Need More Than a New Product
As prediction markets gain momentum, GammaPlus and BSW Software highlight the technology and operational foundations operators need to enter the category.
Prediction markets are attracting growing attention across the gaming and betting industry. But while the opportunity is generating plenty of discussion, a more important question is emerging for operators: What does it actually take to launch and run a prediction-market platform successfully?
Adding prediction markets to an existing offering may sound like a natural next step for sportsbooks, casinos and established iGaming businesses. In practice, however, building a competitive offering involves far more than introducing a new type of contract. Operators must consider how markets are created, how users participate, how positions and exposure are managed, how payments are processed, and how the overall experience remains reliable as activity grows.
This is where the conversation needs to move beyond the buzz.
Through their collaboration, GammaPlus and BSW Software are bringing the focus back to the technology and operational foundations behind prediction markets, helping operators explore the category with a clearer understanding of what it takes to build and scale an offering.
The Opportunity Is Growing. So Are the Questions.
Prediction markets allow participants to trade or take positions on the outcomes of future events, with market prices reflecting participants’ collective expectations. Depending on the model, these markets can cover areas such as sports, politics, economics, entertainment and other real-world events.
Their growing visibility has put them on the radar of businesses looking for new ways to engage audiences and expand their product portfolios. For iGaming operators in particular, the category presents an opportunity to explore new forms of participation beyond conventional sportsbook and casino experiences.
However, interest in the category does not automatically translate into a viable business.
Operators must first determine which markets they want to offer, how those markets will function, which commercial model fits their business, and what infrastructure is needed to support the experience. They must also account for jurisdiction-specific regulations, market integrity, risk controls and responsible participation. The challenge is not simply launching a prediction-market product. It is building one that can operate reliably, adapt to changing requirements and support long-term business objectives.
What Operators Need Beyond the Product
Prediction markets may share some similarities with sports betting, but their underlying mechanics and operational requirements can differ significantly. A traditional sportsbook model cannot always be transferred directly to a prediction-market environment.
Market creation and configuration, pricing mechanisms, liquidity models, settlement rules and exposure management all require careful consideration. Payments, user accounts, platform integrations, reporting and security also play important roles in delivering a consistent experience. The right technology stack must bring these elements together rather than leave operators managing disconnected systems.
For businesses evaluating entry into the category, several questions deserve attention:
- Market creation: How easily can operators introduce, configure and manage markets relevant to their target audiences?
- Trading and liquidity: How will the platform support participation, pricing and liquidity under the chosen market model?
- Risk and settlement: How will positions, exposure, event outcomes and settlements be managed?
- Payments and user experience: Can users move through the platform smoothly, with clear market information and reliable account functionality?
- Scalability and flexibility: Can the infrastructure support growth, new market types and changing business requirements?
- Compliance and control: Can the solution accommodate the regulatory, reporting and operational requirements of the jurisdictions in which it will be offered?
These are not secondary technical details. They influence how a prediction-market business is built, managed and developed over time.

Why the Right Technology Partners Matter
For operators, developing prediction-market capabilities does not necessarily mean building every component independently. The right technology partners can help clarify the requirements, reduce integration complexity and provide a more structured route from concept to launch.
This is the thinking behind the GammaPlus and BSW Software collaboration.
GammaPlus focuses on B2B prediction-market technology, giving businesses a route to explore platform models suited to their objectives. BSW Software brings its own technology capabilities to the collaboration, creating an opportunity to address the practical requirements involved in developing and implementing prediction-market offerings.
Together, the companies are focused on the infrastructure conversation operators need to have before entering the category: what needs to be built, how the different components fit together, and how the resulting platform can support the business beyond its initial launch.
“Prediction markets are creating an exciting conversation across the industry, but operators need to look beyond the immediate opportunity. The real question is whether they have the technology, flexibility and operational foundations to turn that interest into a sustainable business. We believe the focus should be on building the right infrastructure from the beginning, rather than treating prediction markets as just another product to add to an existing portfolio,” said Arturs Zagurilo, CEO at GammaPlus
The collaboration reflects a broader shift in how operators should approach emerging product categories. Rather than rushing to market with a standalone feature, businesses need to understand the complete operating model and choose technology that aligns with their commercial strategy.
“Operators don’t need more hype around prediction markets. They need a clear understanding of the technology and operational requirements behind a successful launch. With more than 15 years of industry experience, we know how important it is to align payments, risk management, back-office, and player management tools from the very beginning. Our collaboration with GammaPlus brings together complementary expertise and creates opportunities to explore practical, scalable approaches to prediction-market solutions,” said Ilia Chumak, Head of Digital Marketing at BSW.
From Market Interest to Market Readiness
As prediction markets develop, operators will face different entry points depending on their existing technology, target audiences, commercial objectives and regulatory environment. Some may explore a dedicated platform, while others may look at integrating prediction-market capabilities into a broader offering. There is no single model that works for every business. The important step is understanding the requirements before committing to a particular approach.
That means evaluating the technology architecture, identifying integration needs, establishing appropriate risk and settlement processes, and confirming the regulatory position of the intended markets. It also means thinking beyond launch day: how new markets will be introduced, how performance will be monitored, and how the platform will evolve as operator needs change.
For GammaPlus and BSW Software, this is the practical side of the prediction-market opportunity. Their collaboration aims to help bring technology and implementation considerations into a conversation that is often dominated by market potential. Prediction markets may be generating the buzz, but the next stage of the category will depend on execution.
For operators, the opportunity is not simply to enter the market first. It is to enter with the right foundations in place.
