USDC on Polygon. 1% platform fee. Spanish-native UI. Distributed through creators and live sports communities — starting with Mexican fútbol ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Live with real money · 1% fee · Creator-led distribution · World Cup window
PredictHere is a crypto-settled sports prediction market for LATAM, distributed through creators and live sports communities. Streamers are the acquisition wedge — the product is a real prediction market with USDC settlement on Polygon and a 1% platform fee.
We're launching in Mexico ahead of the 2026 World Cup, leveraging Director of Public Relations Emor Villa's 20-year sports-media network. Polymarket and Kalshi have been blocked in Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia for parachuting in as unlicensed US operators — our LATAM-native, market-by-market posture is structurally different.

Billions of fans gather around live streams every day — sports, gaming, music, IRL — with no real way to take an active stake. Chat scrolls past. Polls feel like surveys. Existing platforms fail them in four distinct ways.
Meanwhile, in chat:
Fans watch live streams on YouTube, Twitch, Kick every day with no real way to participate. Chat scrolls past. Polls don't pay. No stake means no retention.
Polymarket and Kalshi were blocked in Brazil (Apr 2026), Argentina (Mar 2026), and Colombia for parachuting in as unlicensed US operators. They're English-first, US-thesis products without local UX, creator distribution, or in-play micro-markets — structurally wrong for LATAM fútbol fans.
Traditional sportsbooks close markets before kickoff. Users who want to predict during the 87th-minute comeback have nowhere to go.
Sports watch-along creators with 100K+ concurrent viewers earn ad pennies. They bring the audience — the platform keeps the margin.
Our early tests show a simple pattern: when a creator brings an audience to PredictHere, users register and participate. The issue isn't whether fans understand predictions — they do. The issue is distribution, creator economics, and timing. That's why we land first on a focused beachhead: LATAM sports creators around the World Cup, where prediction behavior is already native — then expand across every kind of stream.
"Early behavior suggests streamer-led distribution can activate users, but the model needs to be optimized around creator economics and repeat engagement."
Fans watch the stream and predict every moment on the same screen — multi-choice, head-to-head, open answer. Creators earn 80% of every fee. PredictHere takes 1%. Cash CAC is zero.
YouTube + Twitch embed renders the stream directly on the prediction page. No tab-switching. No latency. The match and the market share one screen.
Multi-choice, head-to-head, and open-answer predictions resolve every 1–5 minutes or when the creator calls them. Works for sports, gaming, music drops, awards, IRL moments.
Streamers earn 80% of all fees generated by their audience — a revenue share no ad network can match. Paste a URL, go live in 30 seconds.

LATAM creators across sports, gaming, IRL in rev-share talks for the WC window. Cash CAC is zero — every deal is paid from revenue the creator generates.
Users reaching out asking to deposit real money before we've even turned on payment rails. The strongest possible signal.
Ex-professional footballer, Liga MX Apertura 2012 champion with Club Tijuana, endorsing PredictHere through Emor's network — at zero cash cost. Earned credibility, not a marketing budget. Video live at the top of this page.
Built and shipped the platform end-to-end solo — wallet, market, settlement, creator portal. On-call for the launch sprint.
The LATAM connector. Sourced the broadcast partnership. Runs creator and operator relationships from Tijuana, Mexico.
20+ years as a Spanish-language sports reporter, deeply connected across Mexican fútbol, sports media, players, clubs, and owners. The kind of media authority LATAM audiences extend to one or two faces per generation. Wedge in human form.
Joshua Ábrego — ex-professional footballer, Liga MX Apertura 2012 champion (Club Tijuana) — endorsing PredictHere for free, through Emor's network. That isn't a marketing budget. It's earned credibility.
Two co-founders. One distribution edge.
One free endorsement.
Soccer is not just content in Latin America — it's community, identity, media, and live conversation. The largest concentrated mobile-first live-sports audience on earth.
LATAM online sports betting + iGaming is the adjacent market (H2 Gambling Capital). PH captures a lower-fee, crypto-native prediction-market wedge starting with Mexican fútbol creators.
The world's largest concentrated mobile-first live-sports audience, already native to the stream.
Mexico is the cleanest LATAM launch market — Caliente leads at 37% share, +117% YoY growth. Our beachhead, with Emor's network unlocking creator distribution.
104 live sessions × 20 auto-generated micro-markets = the largest predictable volume spike in sports history.
Markets where prediction-market operation is clearly legal today. Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia blocked Polymarket/Kalshi in 2026 — we treat them as future markets pending licensed-operator structure.
Existing giants optimize for the US. Traditional books optimize for pre-game. We're the only platform building for the 400M LatAm viewer on a live stream.

Stablecoin settlement isn't a buzzword on this page — it's the unit-economics edge that lets us run a 1% take rate in markets where sportsbooks charge 10×+ that.
No banking middlemen, no card-processor margin, no FX spread. The 1% fee covers operating cost — sportsbooks need ~10% to cover theirs.
USDC is one product across every launch market — no per-country bank integration. Adding the next LATAM market is a regulatory and creator question, not a payments build.
Rev-share lands in a creator wallet the same minute it's earned — no 30-day ad-network payment cycles. The economics LATAM creators actually want.
Belo (AR), Buenbit (AR/MX), Ripio, and Foxbit (BR) support USDC on Polygon. Our users already hold it or know how to get it — no fiat onramp blocker on day one.
Every payout is verifiable on Polygon. No "trust us" custody risk — a meaningful trust delta vs. unregulated offshore sportsbooks that dominate LATAM grey markets.
Sportsbooks can't drop their take to 1% — their cost stack won't allow it. Polymarket can't run LATAM-native creator distribution from New York. The combination is the moat.
Lowest fee structure in prediction markets.
7× cheaper than Kalshi, half the fee of Polymarket. Fee-sensitivity is the #1 driver in LATAM micro-markets.
Transparent unit economics, conservative assumptions.
WC sports in LATAM is the beachhead. Liga MX, CONMEBOL, and NFL/NBA/MLB are the bridge. Gaming, IRL, music, and awards are the platform.
Activate Mexican soccer creators and sports personalities through Emor's network. Lock rev-share deals, test prediction formats, retention, creator economics.
Extend across Spanish-speaking LATAM markets — Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Chile — same language, same Liga MX and national-team fandom. US Hispanic audience only after regulatory clearance.
Concentrate on the highest-leverage attention moment of the decade. Scale formats with the strongest retention.
Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia blocked Polymarket and Kalshi as unlicensed US operators in 2026. We treat them as future markets entered only via a licensed local partner or formal regulatory authorization — not regulatory arbitrage.
Polymarket and Kalshi were blocked in three LATAM countries in 2026 by trying to operate from the US without local licensing. We're structurally different — we launch where it's clearly legal and engage regulators where it isn't.
Counsel-reviewed legal stack. Geo-fenced from US, US territories, and any jurisdiction where our product structure isn't clearly permissible. Crypto-settlement was selected partly because it removes the bank-integration trigger that draws regulator attention in most markets.
Brazil: CMN Resolution 5,298 (Apr 2026) restricted derivative contracts tied to sports, political, and entertainment events. Polymarket and Kalshi blocked by Anatel.
Argentina: Buenos Aires court ordered nationwide Polymarket block (Mar 2026).
Colombia: Coljuegos has taken action against unlicensed prediction platforms.
We treat these as future markets, entered only via licensed local partnership or formal regulatory authorization.
The reframe: Polymarket and Kalshi's LATAM blocks aren't a market objection — they're a market signal. Native execution, local engagement, and crypto-settled neutrality are the things that pass regulator scrutiny. That's our posture.
