Outpoll, the global prediction market platform, announced a set of platform updates arriving as the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-finals get underway across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The timing is deliberate since football is one of the most active categories on the platform, and the tournament’s final stage is where forecasting communities put their knowledge to the test at the highest tempo of the four-year cycle.
The updates cover three areas making the service even more user oriented.
New login options. Onboarding gets faster with expanded authentication methods. Users can now sign in through major crypto wallets, through Steam, or by scanning a QR code from another device. The existing sign-up flows remain in place. The new methods designed to remove friction for users who already have a wallet connected or a Steam session open, without forcing anyone through a specific path.
Personalized market recommendations. The Outpoll prediction market platform now surfaces markets tailored to each user’s interests, replacing a single centralized catalog with a feed that adapts to what a user actually follows. For someone tracking the World Cup, that means the relevant markets – match results, tournament progression questions, and the deeper football coverage of the platform’s markets. The same logic applies across politics, crypto, macro, and cultural events. Fewer clicks between opening the app and finding a market worth trading.
Personalized news feed. The platform’s News section, which sits directly inside the trading interface, now delivers a personalized stream of relevant world news alongside the standard global feed. Prediction markets are news-driven by nature – events move on headlines, and the gap between reading a development and acting on it is friction that adds up across every position a trader holds. With the update, the headlines that matter to a user’s active markets and interests surface first, keeping the workflow tight.
The updates roll out to all users on the Outpoll prediction market platform, available at outpoll.com and through the native Android application on Google Play. World Cup 2026 markets are live across the platform, covering the quarter-finals now in progress, semi-finals scheduled for later this week, and the final on July 19. Football enthusiasts, forecasters, and active traders can engage in outcomes across the tournament’s closing stages, alongside other hot topics featuring politics, elections, crypto and other.
Markets on the platform are fully collateralized at the contract level, settled in USDC, with resolution rules and authoritative sources published before each market opens.
