Fresh off Australia’s dramatic World Cup opening winner against Turkey, OVT is confident its new wholly-owned prediction market platform will be a winner.
Ovanti has established Ominari.com by ensuring it’s initially available to users in Southeast Asia and focused on 2026 World Cup outcome markets.
The platform allows users to participate in event contracts and outcome markets, with pricing that reflects changing market-implied probabilities as new information, liquidity and participant activity enter the market.
The launch marks OVT’s direct entry as a prediction market platform owner, building on the company’s 9 June 2026 announcement regarding its exclusive payment processing and embedded technology infrastructure partnership with Yuno.trade. Ovanti’s chairman and global CEO, Daler Fayziev, said the 2026 FIFA World Cup provides a “timely launch catalyst” for Ominari and the company.
The tournament runs from June 11 to July 19 and features an expanded 48-team, 104-match format, creating a daily calendar of outcomes and real-time probability.
“Ominari is Ovanti’s own entry into the prediction market sector and is designed to compete directly with global incumbents,” he said.
“By integrating OVT’s payments, settlement, authentication, AI analytics and licence infrastructure with a Southeast Asia launch focus, Ominari gives the company a distinct advantage over its competitors,” he said.
“The FIFA World Cup is the first vertical, with additional markets, features and regional expansion planned over time.”
Initial Ominari coverage includes match outcomes, group progression, knockout-stage advancement, tournament finalists, tournament winner markets and other football-related outcome markets.
Mr Fayziev said major global sports events drive concentrated periods of user acquisition, repeat engagement and transaction frequency, which directly aligns with OVT’s payments and platform infrastructure capabilities.
The current FIFA release is an initial launch, with additional sports, event categories, platform features, payment options and regional markets to be unveiled in coming weeks.
OVT is steady at 1.8¢. Mkt cap $17.95M.
