TrafficGuard Launches in the United States to Help More Businesses Combat Growing Ad Fraud and Invalid Traffic

trafficguard-launches-in-the-united-states-to-help-more-businesses-combat-growing-ad-fraud-and-invalid-traffic

The New York expansion strengthens TrafficGuard’s ongoing commitment to reducing global advertising fraud and non-genuine digital traffic, as U.S marketers demand greater transparency, control, and performance certainty amidst AI boom.

TrafficGuard, a leading platform for digital ad verification and fraud prevention, has announced the launch of operations in the United States to support its global growth strategy. TrafficGuard CEO, Mathew Ratty, has relocated to TrafficGuard’s New York office, formalising and accelerating the company’s existing U.S presence to further serve evolving invalid traffic and ad fraud prevention demands in the U.S, and support its growing channel ecosystem. With commercial and customer-facing teams already operating in the United States, this move reflects a deliberate step to scale local leadership, support, and go-to-market execution.

Ratty will support the next phase of U.S growth by meeting with customers and partners in the United States. His presence demonstrates TrafficGuard’s commitment to gathering first-hand feedback on customers’ traffic quality, invalid behaviour, and ad performance challenges across complex, high-spend media environments. He will leverage these insights to boost data integrity, optimisation confidence, and campaign resilience for US businesses with the most efficient solutions to monitor, detect, analyse, and respond to invalid traffic, including but not limited to fraud.

“We’re seeing a rapid increase in sophisticated ad fraud alongside high volumes of non-genuine and non-incremental traffic in the United States, with impacts on budgets becoming much more frequent,” said Mathew Ratty, CEO of TrafficGuard. “For U.S advertisers operating at scale, it’s no longer just about blocking bad clicks. It’s about protecting decision-making, optimisation models, and growth efficiency. That’s where TrafficGuard’s enterprise-grade approach stands apart. We remain committed to building resilience to protect brands across the globe. With an expanding U.S team and accelerated product innovation, 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for TrafficGuard.”

In 2025, TrafficGuard strengthened its executive leadership team with the appointment of Miguel Lopes as Chief Product Officer, based in the United States. With deep experience building and scaling enterprise technology, Lopes is fast-tracking new product development and unlocking additional acquisition channels, ensuring TrafficGuard continues to meet the demands of high-spend, multi-channel advertisers and enterprise media teams.

TrafficGuard is a multi-award winning platform that detects, mitigates, and reports on digital invalid traffic and ad fraud before it hits advertising budgets, trusted by thousands of global businesses including enterprise brands operating across highly competitive verticals such as finance, eCommerce, travel, and gaming. This strategic move will further strengthen TrafficGuard’s presence in the United States as its U.S customer base continues to grow and more brands seek locally supported, enterprise-ready solutions. The company is riding a robust growth pipeline, with plans to significantly expand its team in the region and enable brands to boost their revenue and confidently scale advertising campaigns by eliminating non-genuine, non-incremental, and wasteful traffic across paid media.

“It’s clear that tackling ad fraud and invalid traffic more broadly is becoming a more urgent priority for advertisers in the U.S, and this is one of the main drivers behind our decision to expand in the region,” said Chad Kinlay, CMO at TrafficGuard.  “As AI accelerates automation across media buying, marketers need independent, enterprise-grade validation to ensure performance data can be trusted. TrafficGuard helps brands defend profitability today while building smarter, more resilient growth for the future.”

The expansion reinforces TrafficGuard’s position as a leader in a rapidly evolving ad landscape. The company is enhancing enterprise-grade traffic validation, prevention, and optimisation intelligence and accelerating the rollout of innovative products across the globe to meet the demands of next-generation digital advertising, while ensuring U.S customers are supported by local expertise, local teams, and local insight.

TRUEiGTECH has announced the launch of an enterprise-grade prediction market platform, designed to help operators, platform owners, and institutions build outcome-based or event-driven trading markets at scale.

As traditional sports betting, media monetization, and trading platforms face growing competition and regulatory complexity, prediction markets are emerging as a fast-growing adjacent category. By converting collective expectations into tradable probability signals, operators can offer differentiated products without the need for entirely new user acquisition channels.

TRUEiGTECH-built prediction markets are already deployed by operators across the USA and Europe, with additional rollouts underway. Once a niche, prediction markets are now becoming primary offerings for iGaming operators. Analysts forecast that leading platforms could handle $1 trillion in annual trading volume by 2030, up from roughly $10 billion today, with revenues potentially exceeding $10 billion.

Why Operators Are Turning to Prediction Markets

Prediction markets offer several advantages:

  • “Bet-on-anything” model – create markets across business, finance, entertainment, politics, and emerging trends.

  • Faster market entry – ideal for existing iGaming operators with infrastructure in place.

  • Early-mover advantage – tap into a category still developing globally.

  • Global momentum – strong uptake in the U.S. and other regulated markets where event-driven participation is growing.

Flexible Deployment Models

TRUEiGTECH co-founder Prish Kumar explained:

“We provide turnkey and bespoke prediction market platform development solutions. Plus, we also offer prediction market clone development and prediction market API integration solutions.”

Operators can use TRUEiGTECH platforms to launch new prediction markets or extend existing offerings, with flexibility and scalability at the core. The platform is designed to be regulation-ready for markets in the USA, Europe, and other regulated jurisdictions.

  • Faster entry compared to traditional sportsbooks, especially for existing iGaming operators with established infrastructure.
  • Early-mover advantage in a category that is still taking shape globally.

With TRUEiGTECH, operators can launch prediction markets or extend existing business offerings. By focusing on flexibility and scalability, TRUEiGTECH aims to position prediction markets as an accessible expansion path rather than a complex standalone venture.
