The FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-finals get underway this week across host venues in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, entering the stage where the tournament narrows to eight teams and every match carries the weight of the entire cycle. Outpoll, the global prediction market platform, is marking the moment with a set of updates aimed at the audience that shows up for exactly this kind of window: football enthusiasts, seasoned forecasters, and traders who follow the sport closely enough to have a view worth putting to the test.
The Outpoll prediction market platform now surfaces markets personalized to each user’s interests. Instead of a single centralized catalog that treats every user the same, the feed adapts to what a person actually follows. For a World Cup fan, that means match-result markets, tournament-progression questions, and the deeper football coverage.
The News section, which sits directly inside the trading interface, has been updated with a personalized layer on top of its global world news feed. Prediction markets move on headlines, and during a tournament like the World Cup that is doubly true – team news, injury reports – all matter for pricing. With the update, the headlines relevant to a user’s active markets surface first, keeping the loop between reading and acting as short as the platform can make it.
Sign-in has also been streamlined. Users can now access the platform through major crypto wallets, Steam, or by scanning a QR code from another device. The existing sign-up methods remain available. The new options are additive, aimed at removing friction for anyone who already has a wallet or a Steam session ready.
The World Cup is one window into what the platform can do, not the whole picture. For traders who follow other categories or prefer to operate programmatically, the Outpoll prediction market platform’s core toolkit is unchanged: take-profit and stop-loss on open positions, limit and market order types, and a full public REST and WebSocket API with Python examples in the help center.
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. Trading fees sit at roughly 0.1% per trade, in line with industry norms.
Much of the World Cup activity on the platform happens from phones – the second screen while a match is on, the quick check between fixtures. The Outpoll prediction market platform’s native Android app is available on Google Play, with a substantial mobile update on the roadmap and continued investment planned across the mobile experience.
