TLDR Predict Street Ltd is now on Gibraltar’s official register of licensed betting intermediaries, making it the territory’s first licensed prediction market operator. The platform is marketing itself as the “Official Prediction Market Partner of the FIFA World Cup 2026” and is collecting early access sign-ups. Justice Minister Nigel Feetham announced the license in Parliament, saying the application was processed in record time after his trip to Consensus Hong Kong. The move sets Gibraltar apart from European countries like the Netherlands, France, and Portugal, which have banned prediction market platforms like Polymarket. Feetham said the licensing push is partly aimed at offsetting lost tax revenue from a recent increase in UK Gambling Duty.
