Prediction markets have rapidly evolved from relatively specialized forecasting tools into widely accessible commercial platforms that allow users to trade on an expanding range of outcomes. Although these platforms are often presented as financial or information-aggregation products, many incorporate features associated with online gambling, including continuous access, rapid feedback, repeated wagering opportunities, gamified interfaces, and incentives designed to sustain engagement.

This webinar, led by Dr. Nizan Geslevich Packin, builds on the recent Science Policy Forum, “Prediction Markets as a Public Health Threat,” examining why the rapid growth and mainstreaming of commercial prediction markets warrant attention from the gambling and public-health communities. Participants will learn about the gap between the expansion of prediction markets and the limited empirical research examining their potential public-health consequences, while identifying “unknowns” and questions that should be prioritized as gambling and public-health stakeholders respond to their continued expansion.
