Can I bet on the World Cup with ADI Predictstreet from the US?

Technically, maybe—but it depends on your state and whether ADI has obtained proper licensing. Decentralized prediction markets often allow US users despite operating in regulatory gray zones. That convenience comes with legal risk you should understand before depositing money.

Is this the same as betting with DraftKings or FanDuel?

No. Traditional sportsbooks are regulated, licensed, and have consumer protections. Blockchain prediction markets are decentralized and often lack those safeguards. The odds may also be set by algorithms rather than professional oddsmakers, which can affect accuracy and fairness.

Will this actually boost FIFA's revenue significantly?

Unlikely. This looks like a modest licensing deal where FIFA gets paid for branding, not a revenue-sharing arrangement tied to platform growth. The real money for FIFA remains sponsorships and media rights—the old-school stuff.
