The first institutional-grade prediction market platform purpose-built for the African continent. A live pilot, a continent-scale opportunity, and a seed-stage entry price.
Prediction markets have crossed from academic concept to proven financial infrastructure. Polymarket alone processed $8Bn+ in 2024, with accuracy consistently outperforming traditional polling. Kalshi crossed $1Bn in event contracts. The sector attracted over $500M in venture capital in a single year.
Africa — the world's fastest-growing gambling market, with 835M mobile money accounts and 500M+ youth aged 15–35 — has no equivalent platform. The infrastructure, the culture, and the demand are aligned. The platform does not yet exist.
Africa gambling market (2024), projected to reach $8.7Bn by 2030 at 13.5% CAGR. Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and Uganda lead growth at 15–18% annually.
Mobile money accounts across the continent. $912Bn in annual transactions. Africa's payment infrastructure is already built — no bank account required for Neo Polymarket users.
Global prediction market growth rate (2024–2030). Total addressable market exceeds $27Bn by 2030 — excludes sports betting adjacency. Africa is uncaptured.
Sub-Saharan Africa ranks first globally in the Chainalysis Crypto Adoption Index. $125Bn+ in crypto transactions in 2023 — the same digitally-native infrastructure that enables prediction markets.
Africans aged 15–35. 65% of the continent's population is under 35 — a mobile-first, digitally native generation primed for information-trading platforms.
Venture capital invested globally in prediction market platforms in 2024. The category has crossed from experiment to established asset class — Africa's version does not yet have a funded contender.
Neo Polymarket enables users to trade financial positions on the probabilistic outcomes of real-world events. The mechanics are identical to Polymarket — but the market categories, payment rails, language, and UX are optimised for an audience that global platforms structurally cannot serve.
The platform is natively integrated with MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, Flutterwave (Visa/Mastercard), and local bank transfer. No cryptocurrency requirement. No bank account prerequisite.
Market proposers post a refundable UGX 25,000 bond — incentivising quality market creation while generating float income on the capital pool.
The platform is operational with live trading markets, verified payment integrations, and measurable pool depth.
All projections are modelled on the target raise of USD 2.5M with a 1.5% blended trading fee on winning payouts, 40% 30-day user retention, and an average trade size of UGX 12,000 per transaction.
