Blokotech Launches BlokoPredict: A New Push for iGaming Prediction Markets

The online gambling market is entering a new stage of evolution where the lines between traditional sports betting and financial speculation are becoming increasingly blurred. Blokotech, an experienced iGaming software developer that launched its own platform in 2023, has now introduced a dedicated white-label suite called BlokoPredict. This technological solution aims to help operators, media brands, and fintech companies access so-called prediction markets without needing to build complex trading infrastructure themselves.

Prediction markets allow users to bet on the outcome of future events that go far beyond sports. These can include political elections, economic indicators, or cultural milestones. Blokotech is responding to a massive demand in the sector, where players like Kalshi have already completed a Series C funding round of 185 million dollars at a 2 billion dollar valuation. Blokotech's move shows that the industry is looking for new vertical revenue streams to reduce reliance on slot games or purely sports-based events.

Numbers and facts

The new BlokoPredict solution offers comprehensive features for pricing, trading, and settlement. According to Blokotech, operators can customize the user interface, branding, currencies, and fee structures. A particular focus is placed on flexibility: results can be settled either manually or fully automatically. This is crucial for increasing operational efficiency while minimizing the error rate in profit distribution.

"Prediction markets continue to gain momentum, and operators increasingly want to offer the vertical without having to build the complex trading and settlement infrastructure themselves. BlokoPredict packages that infrastructure into a ready-to-deploy white-label solution." - Salvatore Messina, co-founder and CEO of Blokotech

The relevance of such systems is further highlighted by the success of other platforms. For instance, Polymarket acquired the exchange QCEX for 112 million dollars in July 2026 to overcome regulatory hurdles. Blokotech positions itself here as an enabler for small and medium-sized providers looking to benefit from this growth without the risk of in-house development.

Background

A key aspect of using white-label solutions, however, is scalability. Industry experts often warn of the so-called white-label trap. When a provider reaches a Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) of over one million euros, standardized platforms often reach their limits. In such cases, the demand for more technological independence grows louder.

"Operators want to choose when they need flexibility and when they need total control." - Maksims Terekhovics, CEO of Networx.Pro

Blokotech tries to address this problem by offering BlokoPredict either as a standalone product or as an iFrame solution integrated into existing tech stacks. This is intended to facilitate the transition for growing companies and allow the integration of new revenue streams without disrupting ongoing operations. Integration into mobile apps, as demonstrated by Robinhood with its 25 million users, shows the enormous potential of this distribution form.

Why it matters for German players

For German players, the situation is complex. The Interstate Treaty on Gambling 2021 (GlüStV 2021) sets very narrow limits on what is considered a permissible bet. Currently, in Germany, primarily sports betting and virtual slot games are allowed under strict conditions. Prediction markets, which for example bet on political events or economic data, are not yet provided for in the German regulated market. The Joint Gambling Authority of the States (GGL) maintains a whitelist of providers who adhere to strict rules, such as the cross-operator deposit limit of 1,000 euros per month and connection to the LUGAS system.

As long as prediction markets are not explicitly included in the catalog of permitted bets, such offers usually remain inaccessible to German customers at legal providers. German players should therefore be careful when international white-label platforms without a German license promote such markets. Protection by the GGL only applies to providers who hold a corresponding license for the German market.

What it means for GGL-licensed casinos

For operators with a GGL license, Blokotech's technology might be technically interesting, but legally it remains a difficult field in Germany for now. German casinos currently focus primarily on slots with the 1-euro stake limit and sports betting. Nevertheless, future-oriented German operators are watching these developments closely. Should there be a future liberalization of event betting, tools like BlokoPredict would be immediately available to enrich the German market with innovative products that go beyond traditional gambling.
