Media Troopers said it will enter Peru’s regulated market to provide sports betting and prediction market services ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The company pointed to the 2026 FIFA World Cup—scheduled for 11 June to 19 July across the US, Canada, and Mexico—as a major driver for online wagering activity and said it aims to help operators prepare for higher demand.

Peru launched its regulated market in 2024. The country is home to more than 60 online operators, and the regulator has granted 120 licenses since launch, according to Media Troopers. The company said Peru’s regulated market was valued at $2.7 billion in 2024, with projections reaching $7.6 billion by 2033.

Media Troopers CEO Shmulik Segal compared Peru’s current phase to the early stages of regulated sports betting in the US. “Media Troopers is bringing mature-market expertise into Peru at precisely the moment the market is ready to scale,” Segal said.

Media Troopers said it will provide operators with soccer-focused marketing channels, access to publishers and affiliates, and localized features intended to help customer acquisition and engagement in Peru.

Affiliate says it upgraded Media Cruiser to support prediction market acquisition as partners expand beyond sports betting and casino.

Media Troopers used the 2026 Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas (April 27–29 at The Venetian Resort) to highlight its growing focus on prediction markets and its work with operators moving into the category.

The affiliate and customer acquisition group said it is seeing demand from existing partners that are expanding into prediction markets alongside sports betting and casino gaming.

Media Troopers said it has updated its infrastructure in recent months to support prediction market traffic across its network. The company also cited enhancements to its proprietary marketing technology platform, Media Cruiser, aimed at “more detailed targeting, audience segmentation, and acquisition strategies.”

“We’re seeing sustained demand from our partners in this space,” said Shmulik Segal, Chief Executive Officer at Media Troopers. “Prediction markets are no longer experimental. They’re becoming a meaningful part of the ecosystem, and we’ve been aligning our capabilities accordingly.”

“Prediction markets live exactly where gaming and crypto meet,” Segal added. “Being at Bitcoin 2026 allows us to connect with the operators and platforms shaping that future.”
