"For what it's worth, the interviewer and host laughed at the idea of prediction markets in Roblox. "I actually think it's a brilliant idea if it can be done in an educational way that's legal. And so, imagine no free Robux, no free prizes, just a game called the Dress to Impress Predictor, where it's not like trying to get kids' money or anything like that. I would be a big fan of it," he explained."
"Prediction market platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi are peer-to-peer platforms where people can buy and sell contracts tied to any number of events, including professional sports and culture events like which movie will win Best Picture. They are different from traditional sports betting platforms because there is no "house" setting the odds. Prediction markets in the US are regulated by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, an agency of the US government."
Roblox's CEO expressed interest in integrating prediction markets into Roblox while acknowledging complex, country-by-country rules on loot boxes and gambling involving children. He emphasized a legal, educational implementation with no free currency or prizes, citing a hypothetical Dress to Impress Predictor that would not seek children's money. Prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi operate as peer-to-peer contract platforms for events rather than traditional bookmaking with a house. US regulation falls under the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, which recently approved Polymarket; Kalshi received CFTC approval earlier. Partnerships and media exposure have provoked public debate about these markets.
