PROPHET EXCHANGE OFFERING BEST ODDS IN NEW JERSEY FOR 2022 NFL SEASON
Prophet Exchange, the newly launched New Jersey-based peer-to-peer sports betting exchange, offered more competitive moneyline prices than its operator rivals in its first-ever NFL regular season gameweek.
A bettor who staked $100 on every winning team for NFL Week One would have made $157.46 more with Prophet Exchange, than a traditional sportsbook (total payout less Prophet Exchange’s 2% commission on each market). That’s about 10% more than a bettor would have won on a sportsbook.
Prophet Exchange operates a peer-to-peer model—the first of its kind in the United States—and acts solely as an intermediary. This means it takes no risk, and simply allows users to set prices, or place bets on prices already set by other users. The exchange then passes this unique benefit directly to the customer, by offering better prices.
Unlike traditional sportsbooks, Prophet Exchange does not add margin or vig to its odds, and sets no limits to wagers, as long as customers have a counterparty to match their bet.
Prophet Exchange also highlights it has a huge advantage on prime-time games. In Week One, Prophet Exchange bettors enjoyed superior pricing, and lots of liquidity, in prime-time: the exchange closed Thursday Night Football, Buffalo at Los Angeles at -118/+117, Sunday Night Football Tampa Bay at Dallas at -124/+122 and Monday Night Football Denver at Seattle at -265/+260.
“If a bettor bet $100 on every underdog for week one of the NFL on the Moneyline, they would have won $207 on a sportsbook—but with Prophet Exchange they would have won $318,” says Prophet Exchange co-founder and CEO Dean Sisun. “We offer competitive pricing and transparency that traditional operators simply can’t match. Our peer-to-peer model has already been a great success here in New Jersey, which bolsters our overarching vision to become the mainstream betting platform in the United States.”
New customers on the exchange this month will receive a 50% deposit match, up to $250 bonus.
“If you’re looking to bet on a team to win, or bet a prime-time game, Prophet Exchange has already proven in one week that it is the place to do so. We offer the best moneyline prices on both sides of the ball, along with spreads and totals at +100 odds, instead of the traditional -110,” says Prophet Exchange co-founder and COO Jake Benzaquen.
“Our offer of a 50% deposit match for new sign-ups in September makes Prophet Exchange an even greater value proposition for New Jersey bettors. We look forward to offering unrivaled moneylines for the rest of the NFL season—and beyond.”
NFL Legend Victor Cruz placed the very first bet on the exchange, on his beloved New York Giants. Cruz matched two bets, one on the New York Giants +5.5 at +100 (even) odds against the Tennessee Titans in Week One and one on the Giants moneyline at +230, winning both. Additionally, Cruz matched a bet on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers moneyline at -130 and won that too. A perfect Week One for the world champion!
Prophet Exchange offers moneyline, spread and total markets for NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, NCAA Football & Basketball games. They will continue to add new sports and markets as the platform scales.
The Prophet Exchange platform is available on iOS, Android and web in New Jersey.

Wealthsimple and Kalshi Partner to Bring Prediction Markets to Canada
Wealthsimple announced the release of Wealthsimple Predict, providing retail investors the ability to trade event contracts on Kalshi. The standalone application is scheduled to launch this summer. Through the app, users will have access to approximately 4000 Kalshi event-based contracts in categories Wealthsimple is authorized to offer in the Canadian market, specifically climate, financial markets, and economic indicators.
“Prediction markets are the fastest-growing segment of global financial markets, letting traders turn an opinion into a position on the factors that shape our world – where inflation is headed, what happens to rates, or how the year unfolds. Until now, Canadians have had limited access. Wealthsimple Predict gives Canadians a clean, well-designed way to access these markets, with education and guardrails built in from day one,” said Brett Huneycutt, co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Wealthsimple.
“Kalshi was founded on a simple belief: views on the future should have markets, and those markets should be available to everyone. That’s why we’re partnering with Wealthsimple, Canada’s leading financial innovator – to give everyday investors in Canada access to fair, secure, and regulated prediction markets,” said Alex Cuoci, Kalshi.
In March, the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) authorized Wealthsimple to offer event and forecast contract trading, also known as prediction markets. These contracts are regulated as futures contracts (derivatives). The approval covers contracts with a 30-day settlement period or longer, within the categories of economic indicators, financial markets, and climate. Wealthsimple is the second investment dealer to receive regulatory approval from CIRO for prediction markets.
To access trading through Wealthsimple Predict, new clients must complete a standard Know Your Client (KYC) process. Education is built into every stage of the experience, including a guided orientation of a client’s first trade. The app also shows users key disclosures and definitions, including trading risk reminders, contract resolution information, notices that positions can be sold at any time, and liquidity risk warnings on lower-activity markets. Wealthsimple Predict will only be available to Canadian residents.
Kalshi is authorized to operate in the US as an event contracts exchange, with federal authority from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the regulatory authority for the U.S. derivatives market. Prediction markets follow the same regulatory framework applied to other financial assets traded in the US, such as equities, bonds, and traditional derivatives, with clear rules for price formation, settlement, and governance.

MediaTroopers said it is preparing to launch in Alberta’s regulated gaming market on July 13, as Canada’s next regulated commercial gaming market opens.

The company said its Alberta offering will mirror its work in Ontario, including localized acquisition strategies, compliance-focused marketing, regional player education, and market-tailored performance campaigns.
MediaTroopers also said it has seen “strong interest” from Alberta players through pre-registration activity, without providing figures.
“Alberta represents an exciting next step for regulated iGaming in Canada, and Media Troopers is ready to support operators from day one,” said Shmulik Segal, CEO of Media Troopers. “Our experience in Ontario has given us a strong understanding of what it takes to enter a new Canadian market successfully, from compliance and localization to scalable player acquisition. With eight of our premium clients already preparing for launch and early pre-registration traction underway, we see Alberta as a market with tremendous potential.”
