FIFA’s $150M Prediction Market Partner Faces Scrutiny Over $108M in Trades

A prediction market platform with alleged links to the Abu Dhabi royal family is facing questions over whether much of its trading volume was artificially inflated. ADI Predictstreet first raised eyebrows last April after it reportedly paid more than $150 million to become the “Official Prediction Market Partner of the FIFA World Cup 2026,” despite not yet being operational. Gibraltar had granted the company a gambling license just days earlier, in what officials described as record time.
