About PredictionsWorldCup.com
PredictionsWorldCup.com is an independent guide to international football prediction markets for US traders: World Cup history, the 2030 World Cup and major.
PredictionsWorldCup.com is an independent guide to international football prediction markets for US traders. We cover World Cup history, including full 2026 results, the road to the 2030 World Cup, the 2027 Women's World Cup and international tournaments such as the Euros, the Copa América, the Nations League and AFCON. We review the federally regulated platforms that list these markets and explain how they work. We are not affiliated with FIFA or any official tournament body.
Why we exist
PredictionsWorldCup.com is written and edited by Catie Di Stefano, a veteran of Malta's regulated iGaming industry (Betsson Group, Gaming Innovation Group) who now covers World Cup and global prediction markets full-time. We are not affiliated with any prediction-market platform. We make money through affiliate relationships with the platforms we review — more on that in our disclosure page — but no platform pays for coverage, favorable reviews, or editorial influence.
Most coverage of these platforms is either marketing-speak from the platforms themselves or generic crypto-prediction commentary that misses the specifics of football. We started PredictionsWorldCup.com to be a dedicated desk for the World Cup — and the global sports markets that surround it — written for people who want to understand exactly what's tradable, on which platform, at what price.
What we cover
- Tournament hubs — the 2030 World Cup, the 2027 Women's World Cup and the international calendar to 2030
- World Cup history — 2026 results, team-by-team recaps and how markets priced the tournament
- Platform reviews — the federally regulated platforms that list international football markets
- Market mechanics — how event contracts work and how to read a price as a probability
- Club leagues are covered by our sister site, predictionssoccer.com
Editorial principles
- We focus on CFTC-regulated event-contract exchanges (Kalshi, Polymarket US, ProphetX). We also cover Novig, a peer-to-peer sports app, and Rebet, a social sweepstakes app, and say clearly what each one is. We don't promote offshore sportsbooks.
- 21+ only. We do not market to anyone under 21.
- Affiliate-supported, but never affiliate-driven. We earn referral fees on signups, but no platform pays for coverage, ranking, or favorable framing.
- If a market isn't listed, or a platform's World Cup coverage is thin, we say so.

Not affiliated with FIFA or any official body
We are an independent educational guide only. PredictionsWorldCup.com is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to FIFA, the World Cup organizing body, any national football federation, or any official tournament partner. We do not sell tickets, official merchandise, or betting services. Our purpose is to explain international football event contracts on CFTC-regulated US platforms, state by state, without legal advice.
How we review
Our platform reviews follow a consistent methodology documented in our editorial standards page. In short: we open accounts, fund them with real money, place real trades on World Cup and adjacent markets, and test withdrawals. We update reviews when platforms materially change products, fees, or regulatory standing.
