Prediction markets are no longer a curiosity at the edge of gambling. They are becoming a serious technology proposition, with companies building the infrastructure to let operators offer markets on sport, politics, economics, technology and culture.

Behind every sportsbook, casino lobby and flashing bonus offer sits a rather less glamorous piece of machinery: the platform. The companies operating behind the scenes of the online gambling industry have never been more important, and GamblingIQ's annual Platforms magazine, 'Game of Trust', has put the spotlight on the ten platform businesses leading the market in 2026.

The GamblingIQ Power 10 (2026 edition), recognises the women redefining leadership across the global gambling industry. Selection is grounded in evidence, not visibility; measured by commercial impact, strategic execution, regulatory judgment and the ability to scale organisations under pressure. Those featured are not defined by titles or ceremony, but by sustained performance, decision-making clarity and influence felt across markets.
