Apps are being downloaded and it's very clear who the winner is here based on this year and based on football season. The winner, Sam to me is Calci plus 23% up 1.47 million downloads and I'm sure that these other sites, Sam, are, are recognizing this we see this new partnership. That Fanatics announced earlier today, uh, and they would like to get probably more downloads through crypto.com, but, uh, we're seeing a lot more steam here for the prediction markets and in places like California and in Texas. I'm sure if we geographically looked at it, why not get involved in some of these things that appear to be very similar to sports betting. Yeah, very notable. Calci now 5th in app downloads when you include them in the entire sports gambling space, uh, moving ahead of uh Bet365, BTMGM and Caesars who for a long time have been thought about kind of the people behind DraftKings and FanDuel. Now it's Calci, which is even more impressive considering the fact that uh prediction market app downloads are actually down almost 20% year over year from last year. Because last year is when they really started to explode first with the presidential election where that was the first time we really heard about these apps exploding. So the fact that prediction market downloads are actually down almost 20% overall, yet Calci is up 23% really just goes to show you, uh, it, it's not relying on election betting anymore and just how, how much it skyrocketed in this last year while you have. Other apps like DraftKings Down and FanDuel and virtually every other sports betting app down. Those apps are down, uh, downloads are about, uh, 10% year over year. Now, there is a little bit of an outlier because last year you had the Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight, which was responsible for the most sports betting download apps of any single event of the year outside of the Super Bowl. So that's a tough comp from last year. But again, prediction markets dealing with. own tough comp of the presidential election last year and they just continued to surge, continue to get downloaded through these new partnerships you mentioned, uh, the one that Fanatics has just agreed to with Crypto.com. Calci and Polymarket both have partnerships with X now. Polymarket also partnering with Truth Social, the president's social media platform, uh, and also both partnering with the NHL as well, and that'll be another really interesting thing. Monitor whether these apps make more partnerships with leagues because largely, uh, the MLB, the NBA, other leagues which are facing their own integrity issues, uh, have warned the CFTC that, hey, these prediction markets don't have the guardrails and, you know, overall structure that kind of is meant to safeguard everything that sports books have. So it'll be really interesting to see maybe if one of those leagues changes their mind when. You know, the, the downloads for these apps are just getting too high and the popularity is just getting too big, but definitely something we're gonna keep watching is whether C she can even, you know, surge past prize picks and underdog, which right now are behind DraftKings and FanDuel, um, I would expect that the downloads to only keep going up until eventually, you know, maybe the Supreme Court decides in a few years.
