The new integration delivers key benefits for both developers and players:

  • Familiar, trusted payments: Mercado Pago is the leading wallet brand across Latin America, offering confidence and recognition at checkout.
  • Multiple funding options: Players can pay using linked cards, bank accounts, or wallet balances within a single, unified experience.
  • Automated subscriptions: Mercado Pago enables effortless recurring payments that drive retention and make billing easier for developers and players alike.
  • Real-time confirmations: Transactions process instantly, reducing friction and increasing conversion rates.
  • Regional reach: Developers can extend coverage beyond Uruguay to other markets where Mercado Pago is widely adopted, including Brazil, Chile, and Mexico.

“Mercado Pago is one of Latin America’s most trusted financial platforms,” said Chris Hewish, President at Xsolla. “By integrating it in Uruguay, we’re giving developers a powerful way to meet players where they are ​ with the local payment methods they already use and trust.”

With the addition of Mercado Pago, Xsolla continues to expand its global payment ecosystem, enabling developers to reach a wider audience, increase successful transactions, and grow their revenue across key markets worldwide.

Annual trading volume in the prediction market vertical grew from $500 million to $64 billion in only three years. What’s behind their explosive popularity? In a new ebook, Slotegrator lays out why this latest evolution in betting has so much appeal for players and what operators need to consider before launching their own prediction market.

Why have prediction markets captured so much attention? In a new downloadable ebook, Slotegrator lays out the factors behind the vertical’s popularity, analyzes how prediction markets are disrupting the modern betting landscape, and provides a checklist to help readers decide if
the time is right for them to add a prediction market to their platform.

In the ebook, Slotegrator highlights generational shifts in preferences and behavior, such as the increase in younger players who are familiar with trading and financial markets, as one of the main drivers in the rise of the format. There’s also a widespread change in values; players view the P2P exchange mechanic, in particular, as a more transparent form of betting than wagering against the house.

“Today, the audience’s attention shifts in real time across platforms, and digital experiences evolve constantly. If you’re not actively tracking where engagement is moving, you’re not just behind the trend — you’re already losing relevance in the market,” comments Olga Ivanchik, COO of Slotegrator.

Opinion-based betting allows users to trade literally any event from politics to current events. The pursuit of getting a more interactive, dynamic, and fair experience is reflected in prediction market mechanics: the odds in this type of betting are not set by the house but fluctuate in accordance with supply and demand — players bet against each other, and the platform generates revenue on commissions based on the amount of bets.

“This transition eliminates the old conflict of interest and gives us a more transparent, equitable, and stimulating experience where value is defined by the market itself”, says Maksym Shtun, Product Owner at Slotegrator.

The report provides analytics with key figures, regulatory notes, expert comments, and an explanation of the mechanics involve. It also includes useful tips for readers:

  • A checklist that will help operators understand whether they need prediction markets on
    their platform
