Can IG Group stick the landing on UK prediction markets launch?

IG Group will reignite its sports betting ambitions 16 years after departing the scene, as it sets out ambitious plans to revamp the identity of the current space. Yesterday saw the FTSE 100 firm reveal its plans for a UK prediction market launch , beginning with a rollout in late Q4 2026. This will see IG Group offer professional investors the chance of 24/5 tax-free financial asset trading, which will be followed by a mass gambling expansion.
