The full review

Predictor is one of the newest names in prediction markets, and it comes from an unusual place: Galactic, a UK media-tech company that previously partnered with Sports Illustrated and TIME on prediction market products. Predictor.io previews live markets on its site, but it has not opened to the general public, so this review covers what is confirmed about how it is built rather than how it trades.

Predictor Welcome Offer

Predictor has not announced a welcome offer, promo code or referral program. Our Predictor promo code page tracks the status and will be updated if an offer launches.

What Predictor Actually Is

Predictor is not an exchange. Its US operating company, Predictor LLC, is an introducing broker registered with the National Futures Association (NFA ID 0574423), approved in July 2026. That means Predictor does not hold customer funds, execute trades or list contracts. Instead, it introduces users to a regulated futures broker, Plus500US, which opens the trading account and holds the money, and to a CFTC-regulated exchange that lists and settles the contracts. Predictor’s disclosures name Kalshi’s exchange as an example of that role, and outside reporting found Kalshi-listed contracts appearing on the platform, though neither company has announced a partnership.

A Delayed Launch

Galactic announced Predictor in November 2025 with a TIME partnership and a planned early-2026 launch, but that timeline slipped. Its earlier Sports Illustrated product, SI Predict, paused trading in July 2025 and the company says a new version is still in development. Predictor is a clean restart that runs in US dollars rather than crypto. As of October 2026, no public launch date has been announced.

Markets, Fees and Access

Predictor’s site previews markets in sports, including the NFL, along with other categories. Contracts follow the standard format, priced from $0.01 to $0.99 and paying $1 if correct. The minimum deposit is listed at $20. Predictor’s fee schedule is general, saying trades may carry a fixed per-contract fee, a percentage fee or a spread, plus funding fees from its partners, but no specific rates are published. Access is limited to adults, with the age of majority applying in some states, and the site checks your location. Sports trading is reportedly live only in select states.

How Predictor Stacks Up

Predictor’s structure is its most distinctive feature, since your money sits with a regulated futures broker rather than with Predictor itself. The unknowns are large, though. There is no launch date, no published fee rates, no welcome offer and no track record. Until it opens, Kalshi remains the established option and is live today. Keep an eye on Predictor if you like the idea of a media-driven prediction market, but there is nothing to trade yet.
