Catie Di Stefano

Before she ever covered a prediction market, Catie Di Stefano cut her teeth in one of Europe's toughest regulated gambling hubs — Malta, starting at Betsson Group and rising through nearly five years at Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) to B2C Group VIP Manager, including a 2018 move to Marbella, Spain to lead the launch of Hard Rock Online Casino and Sportsbook after the repeal of PASPA. An independent consultancy followed, spanning brands across Europe and the US, including a later licensed engagement with Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, and she has been named to multiple iGamingExpress industry rankings. She has spoken on international markets at SBC Summit Barcelona 2022 ("Emerging markets: spreading the word", alongside Futbol Sites and Gambling.com Group) and iGB Affiliate Barcelona 2025 (localisation strategies for Latin America and Africa), and contributed to OddsGate's 2025 Latin America trends guide. Fifteen years on from Malta, she covers the World Cup and international football prediction markets full-time.
