Smarkets

Smarkets is a prediction market website that makes punting on your favourite events simple and social. Instead of betting against a bookie, with Smarkets you bet against other members.

Founded in 2008 by Jason Trost (CEO) and Hunter Morris (CTO), Smarkets’ multi-national team works out of offices in London. Smarkets is backed by a group of private investors.
