Genius signed deals with both Polymarket and Kalshi in August, to provide real-time event data and league integrity services, as well as streaming services. Fellow data provider Sportradar also announced similar multi-year partnerships with both Kalshi and Polymarket in June. 

Initial reaction from investors was largely unfavourable. Genius shares plunged 13% on 18 Sept., falling 17% for the week. The data provider closed the session at $5.64 per share, well below the $6.19 price when it announced the Legend acquisition in February.

The launch of Prediction.com comes amid a strategic integration phase following Genius Sports’ acquisition of Legend.

Another MIW 2024 alum, Lois Bright, who also founded of Women in Gaming Africa and co-founded Gaming Advisory Partners, says the group’s key achievement has been making women visible and helping them to progress into leadership roles.

“I think it’s given a boost to women in the sense that they have a platform for tangible change, not just them as individuals, but collectively as a movement,” Bright says.

A point the industry largely agrees on is that DEI must start at the top.

For an experienced slots reader, that pattern is the real story. The release reflects how Spinomenal keeps volume high by iterating on established formats rather than reinventing its core proposition with each launch.

The “3” prefix is not incidental. Spinomenal’s catalog already includes titles such as 3 Chinese Charms and 3 Volcano Power, alongside 3 Fortune Mummies. That points to a deliberate naming convention, one that groups slots into a recognizable line.

This numbered structure works as a soft branding device. It signals to players that a title belongs to a familiar mechanical or presentational family, which can shorten the time it takes a returning player to feel oriented in a new game.
