B2B technology platform and game developer Hacksaw Group has officially announced the launch of its B2B Prediction Markets platform.

Empowering operators with scalable prediction market infrastructure

Alongside the platform rollout, the company confirmed that the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has approved an extension of its existing B2B Critical Gaming Supply License to cover Type 3 Gaming Services, authorizing peer-to-peer prediction market operations under the MGA framework.

The new platform is designed to provide operators with a fast and efficient path into the rapidly expanding prediction markets category without requiring them to build and maintain underlying technology independently. By utilizing Hacksaw’s established distribution network, commercial relationships, and connected volume framework, operators can aggregate peer-to-peer participation across the network from day one.

The expansion comes as global interest in prediction markets surges, with brokerage firm Bernstein estimating that annual trading volumes could hit $1 trillion by 2030. Hacksaw’s B2B model ensures that operators retain full ownership of their user experience and brand identity while benefiting from a compliance-first architecture.

Executive commentary

Ana Vrabic Verdir, Group CEO of Hacksaw Group, stated:

“Prediction markets represent a compelling new opportunity at the intersection of technology, entertainment and market participation.”

Verdir added:

“We believe our existing platform, distribution capabilities and operator relationships position us exceptionally well to help businesses participate in this category. This launch reflects our strategy of extending Hacksaw’s technology ecosystem into adjacent verticals where we believe we can create long-term value for customers, partners and shareholders while further strengthening our role within the broader online gaming landscape.”

Marcus Cordes, Operational CEO of Hacksaw Gaming, commented:

“We have created a solution that enables operators to access prediction market capabilities efficiently and at scale.”

Cordes further noted:

“Because we already work closely with operators across multiple jurisdictions, we believe we can provide a streamlined path to market while leveraging the technology, integrations and commercial infrastructure that we have spent years developing. We see significant potential to help operators participate in this growing category through a solution designed specifically for their needs.”
