Their wagers on everything from markets to politics, sports, and culture are drawing massive interest from users across the United States, as well as from financial entities looking to use their prediction data in novel ways.<h1 class="st-heading-1">Incredible Growth</h1>Kalshi on Tuesday secured $1 billion at an $11 billion valuation, marking its third fundraise of the year and more than doubling its valuation in just a few months. The platform shot to prominence as users piled into contracts ahead of November 2024’s presidential election, which saw Donald Trump win, and has since aggressively expanded into sports betting.Polymarket bagged a $2 billion cheque from the New York Stock Exchange operator Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (ICE) two months ago, at a pre-investment valuation of $8 billion. As part of the deal, ICE will also distribute Polymarket’s event-driven data, providing customers with sentiment indicators on market-relevant topics.And Robinhood? Its stock has been on an absolute tear — HOOD is up more than threefold this year — helped in part by its aggressive push into prediction markets. The company rolled out its prediction-market hub with Kalshi in March and, just last month, snapped up a 90% stake in MIAX Derivatives Exchange, a move that sent its shares sharply higher. &nbsp;<figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:25%;"><col style="width:25%;"><col style="width:25%;"><col style="width:25%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;vertical-align:bottom;">Platform&nbsp;</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;vertical-align:bottom;">Primary Volume Driver in November 2025</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;vertical-align:bottom;">Broadly Popular Contracts (Last 6 Months)</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;vertical-align:bottom;">Key Metric/Note</td></tr><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">Kalshi</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;text-align:center;">Sports-related contracts (Pro Football, NHL, NBA, etc.)</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;text-align:center;">Sports: NFL game outcomes and championships (dominant volume driver).

Source: Stocktwits research<h1 class="st-heading-1">Sportsbooks On Alert</h1>That’s all great, but the surge of prediction markets is also shaking up a core industry: sportsbooks. Giants like DraftKings and Flutter Entertainment, which owns FanDuel, are quietly growing uneasy and have announced plans to roll out their own prediction-market products as soon as this month or next. Flutter is building one through a partnership with CME Group, while DraftKings will launch one&nbsp;following its recent acquisition of Railbird Technologies.In recent interviews, DraftKings and Flutter management&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/draft-kings-stock-drops-premarket-on-lower-revenue-forecast-ceo-downplays-threat-from-prediction-markets/cL2vMQ9RETi">have said</a> that sportsbooks and prediction markets are two distinct offerings and, as such, would not cannibalize each other's user bases. To be sure, sportsbooks&nbsp;account for about half of their topline, with the rest coming mostly from iGaming (casino, poker, bingo, and lottery games, both online and on the apps).&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:2400/1400;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/koyfin_20251203_025149132_png_a50ca258de.webp" alt="koyfin_20251203_025149132.png" width="2400" height="1400"></figure>However, some recent products, like same-game parlays, strike right at the core of DraftKings’ and Flutter’s core sportbook offerings. What’s more, when Polymarket and Kalshi signed a major deal with the National Hockey League, the first major U.S. sports league to license its trademarks to prediction markets, DKNG and FLUT stocks did not take it kindly.In fact, recent results from both show weak sportsbook revenues, though that’s also due to customer-friendly results in this NFL season. Nevertheless, DraftKings tightened its annual forecast. Some analysts are&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/flutter-entertainment-faces-price-target-cuts-due-to-nfl-weakness/ch6Fdd1R3V2">concerned</a>, too. &nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1600/1133;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Draft_Kings_sportsbook_revenue_jpg_91c79b03cd.webp" alt="DraftKings_sportsbook_revenue.jpg" width="1600" height="1133"></figure>&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1600/1133;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Flutters_US_Sportsbook_revenue_jpg_c7cf47fadb.webp" alt="Flutters_US_Sportsbook_revenue.jpg" width="1600" height="1133"></figure><h1 class="st-heading-1">Wider Appeal</h1>Prediction-market platforms are forging partnerships at breakneck speed to broaden their appeal, and also offering everything from outlandish contracts on meteor strikes or nuclear detonations to more audience-friendly wagers on Oscar winners or&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/ai-might-beat-trump-the-pope-and-nvidia-s-ceo-to-become-time-s-2025-person-of-the-year-polymarket/cL5eFmXREhX">Time’s Person of the Year</a>.Historically, platforms like Kalshi were focused on politics, macroeconomic events, weather, and other “non-sports” outcomes.

Analysts expected $2.89 billion. Revenue for the company’s Las Vegas business decreased by 9.8%, hurt by a broader decline in visitations to the city.Net loss in the period was $55 million, or $0.27 per share, rising multifold from $9 million, or $0.04 per share, last year. Analysts had expected a $0.02 per share loss.What Is Retail Investors' View?On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment for CZR to ‘extremely bullish’ as of late Tuesday, from ‘neutral’ the previous day, with 24-hour message volume rising 4,000%.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:640/77;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_10_29_at_8_49_53_AM_png_45f5c69299.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-10-29 at 8.49.53 AM.png" width="640" height="77"><figcaption>CZR sentiment and message volume as of October 28 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>“$CZR This is way oversold,” said one user, adding that they are buying shares.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/hastrade10/message/634058400</stembedurl>Another user was less optimistic, saying that “Vegas as we all once knew it is dying on the vine” and that younger consumers are even skipping drinking altogether.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/justwatch21/message/634066051</stembedurl>Caesars Weighs In On Prediction MarketsMeanwhile, Caesars’ Reeg said the company was watching developments in prediction markets — a fast-emerging space led by Kalshi and Polymarket, and one that iGaming players such as DraftKings are preparing to enter.“We believe what's happening in prediction markets is sports gambling,” he said. “If there's a path that develops where we can participate in a way that doesn't put licenses at risk… (we) would be prepared to go down that path, but we're watching it the same as you are.”Year-to-date, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CZR">CZR stock</a> is down 34%.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Caesars Says Poor Uptake In Las Vegas Weighed On Q3 Results, Shares Drop 

The casino operator’s net loss widens multifold.

Shares of Flutter Entertainment rose 1.5% in extended trading on Wednesday, after the company announced a partnership with CME Group to roll out products that would let its users bet on financial market outcomes for as little as $1.The FanDuel operator would set up a joint venture with CME, America's biggest futures exchange, for the new offering, set to launch later this year. FanDuel customers in the U.S. will get access to contracts for simple yes-or-no wagers on market events, such as the S&amp;P 500 index or gold prices hitting certain levels or on upcoming readings of key economic data, such as the gross domestic product (GDP) or consumer price index (CPI).The partnership extends financial market-based betting to fantasy sports users (in the environment they are familiar with), marking a significant convergence that could reshape the online wagering industry as adoption accelerates nationwide.The development also comes as firms ramp up wagering on a wider range of events, from economic and political outcomes (Kalshi, Interactive Brokers, PredictIt) to sports, as well as trading in alternative assets such as cryptocurrencies.DraftKings, a direct competitor to Flutter, is reportedly exploring an acquisition in the prediction markets space, while Robinhood recently withdrew a product that let users bet on Super Bowl results.CME already offers small-stakes yes-no contracts tied to daily outcomes in futures markets. The company's shares rose marginally in Wednesday's extended trading."Individual investors are increasingly sophisticated and continually pursuing new financial opportunities," CME Group CEO Terry Duffy said in a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.flutter.com/news-and-insights/press-releases/cme-group-and-fanduel-partner-to-develop-innovative-event-contracts-platform/">statement</a> on Wednesday.FanDuel Group CEO Amy Howe said, "We believe there is potentially a wide audience for trading event-based markets and we want to provide a platform that allows our customers to engage in this activity."On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment was 'bearish' for&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/FLUT">Flutter</a> and 'bullish' for&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CME">CME</a>, with Flutter featuring among the top five trending tickers on the platform as of early Thursday.
