Hacksaw launches peer-to-peer prediction markets for operators

Hacksaw Group, a Stockholm-listed tech and game developer, says it has launched a B2B platform that lets operators offer peer-to-peer prediction markets using Hacksaw’s technology, distribution network, and operator tools. The company frames this as a way for operators to add new forms of prediction-based engagement for customers, while leveraging Hacksaw’s existing infrastructure.

What changed

Hacksaw has introduced a B2B platform aimed at operators, allowing them to offer peer-to-peer prediction markets. This means customers on an operator’s platform could place bets against each other on future outcomes, rather than against the house or a centralized book. Hacksaw positions the system as leveraging existing distribution and operator tools to facilitate these markets.

Key facts

Hacksaw is a Stockholm-listed technology and game developer.
The new platform targets operators (B2B) to run peer-to-peer prediction markets.
Industry context: some estimates project global trading volume in prediction markets could reach about $1 trillion by 2030.

Who is affected

Operators that partner with Hacksaw can offer peer-to-peer prediction markets to their customers. End users (gamblers or bettors) on those operator platforms gain access to new types of interactive markets where bets are placed between players rather than against the operator.

Practical next steps

Operators should evaluate how peer-to-peer markets fit within their regulatory and compliance framework.
Customers should understand how bets are settled and what protections exist for user funds.
