Hacksaw Gaming has launched a new B2B platform for peer-to-peer (P2P) prediction markets, following regulatory approval from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). The company’s B2B licence has been expanded to include Type 3 activities, allowing it to offer formats where participants play against each other while the operator earns commission without taking on gaming risk.
Expanded MGA Licence Enables P2P Markets
The recent expansion of Hacksaw Gaming’s MGA licence now covers both Type 1 and Type 3. Type 3 specifically pertains to P2P formats, in which the platform operator facilitates transactions between players but does not participate in the outcome. This regulatory change permits Hacksaw Gaming to operate its new prediction market platform under the MGA framework.
Platform Details and Operator Integration
According to the company, the new platform is designed to connect participants across its network of partner operators, aiming to ensure sufficient liquidity from the outset. Operators will be able to integrate the prediction market product using existing channels they already use for accessing Hacksaw Gaming’s content. The product will be offered under each operator’s brand, with customer interaction remaining the responsibility of the operator.
Why This Matters for the Industry
The approval and launch of a regulated P2P prediction platform broadens the product range available to operators, enabling them to diversify their offerings without assuming additional gaming risk. Suppliers like Hacksaw Gaming can now provide a new type of engagement, while affiliates may see expanded promotional opportunities. For regulators, this development demonstrates the adaptation of licensing frameworks to emerging formats in the iGaming sector.
