OddsON Launches as the First Prop Trading Firm Built Entirely Around Sports Prediction Markets

Published

Sheridan, WY, USA, July 15th, 2026, FinanceWire

US traders get a free, fully simulated $1,000 account and a path to a funded account earned on sports-market skill alone; no deposit, no personal capital at risk. 

OddsON went live across the United States today as the first prop trading firm built entirely around sports prediction markets. Traders start with a free, fully simulated $1,000 account and work toward a funded account by proving they can read sports markets consistently — no deposit, nothing of their own on the line. 

Prop trading firms have spent years handing skilled traders outside capital once they prove themselves in a controlled evaluation. That model has lived in equities and forex. It has never been pointed at sports prediction markets — until now. OddsON takes the funded-trader playbook and applies it entirely to sport: pass a two-stage evaluation, potentially earn a funded account, and keep the majority of the profit the trading generates.

The distinction from general prediction markets is deliberate. Those platforms treat sport as one tab among politics, economics, and pop culture. OddsON was built on the opposite premise — that sports deserves its own dedicated venue, not one tab on a general prediction platform. It’s built specifically for people who follow sport closely and want to put that knowledge to work. Every market on the platform is a sports market, and the firm behind it does something no prediction market has done before: it backs the people who trade those markets well.

Evaluation Process

Traders pick a challenge tier and trade a simulated bankroll against live sports markets. Every challenge runs two stages: a Qualifier and a Verification round — each with published risk rules covering maximum stake size, daily loss limits, and overall drawdown. The rounds reward consistent, risk-managed judgment rather than one lucky result. Clear both, and the account converts to a funded one with no profit target and no time limit. Funded traders keep 75% of the potential profit they produce.

Users can start with a free Rookie challenge on a $1,000 simulated bankroll — no cost to begin.

Everything on OddsON is simulated. No trader wagers or risks real money at any stage of a challenge, and payouts to funded traders are performance-based rewards for skill, not winnings from a bet.

Availability

OddsON is available now to traders across the United States for free. Users can sign up, and the free Rookie challenge is open at oddson.co.

About OddsON

OddsON is the first prop trading firm built exclusively for sports prediction markets by Prop Trading and Sports experts. Traders access a simulated bankroll through a one-time entry fee, trade across sports markets, and can earn a funded account by clearing a two-stage evaluation. The firm’s aim is to give people who genuinely understand sport a structured way to trade with real backing — without risking their own capital to prove it. Users can learn more at oddson.co.

Base Markets Announces Full Launch of Multi-Asset CFD Brokerage Platform

Published

on

Ebene, Mauritius, July 15th, 2026, FinanceWire

A new multi-asset broker built by industry veterans — USD 2 per side on FX, real execution, and withdrawals treated as part of the product. Regulated by the FSC Mauritius.

Base Markets today launched a new multi-asset CFD brokerage built on a simple idea: judge a broker on what clients actually pay, how their trades are executed, and whether they can get their money out — not on the size of its bonuses.

The brokerage industry has become very good at selling the image of trading. Expensive events, oversized bonuses, headline spreads with no liquidity behind them. Base Markets was founded by a team with years inside established, regulated brokers to offer the alternative: transparent pricing, reliable execution, and real people when support is needed.

The pricing is the clearest signal of intent. Base charges USD 2 per side — USD 4 round turn per standard lot — on FX, from the first trade. Many raw-spread accounts charge around USD 7 round turn and hand part of it back later through rebates and volume tiers. Base skips the theatre and starts competitive.

“A broker should be able to build a good business without depending on poor client outcomes,” said Alex Kolpokchi, Co-founder and CEO at Base Markets. “We’re not trying to be the loudest broker in the market. We’re building the one we always wished existed — clear on price, honest about execution, and as prepared to return your funds as we are to receive them.”

Base runs on MetaTrader 5, with FX, indices, commodities and crypto CFDs, funding by card, bank transfer and crypto (USDT/USDC), and multilingual human support in English and Arabic. Client funds are held in segregated accounts, and the company is regulated by the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius.

At a glance

  • Pricing: $2 per side / $4 round turn per standard lot on FX, from the first trade — no rebate games
  • Platform: MetaTrader 5, desktop, web and mobile
  • Markets: Forex, indices, commodities and crypto CFDs
  • Funding: Visa, Mastercard, bank transfer and crypto (USDT/USDC); segregated client funds
  • Support: Responsive human support in English and Arabic
  • Regulation: Financial Services Commission of Mauritius, licence No. GB25204723

The 29th Boryeong Mud Festival will run from July 24 to August 9, 2026, at Daecheon Beach and nearby festival areas in Boryeong, a coastal city on Korea’s west coast.

Mud, Music and Korea’s West Coast Energy

Built around Boryeong’s mineral-rich coastal mud, the festival has grown into a signature summer event where visitors do more than watch — they participate.

The main Mud Experience Zone at Boryeong Mud Expo Plaza will feature mud pools, slides, obstacle courses, family zones, water play areas and photo-friendly attractions for adults, families and group travelers.

The Mud Night Parade will connect the car-free street area with Sunset Plaza and Meeting Plaza, while Mud Busking will bring live performances to Noeul Plaza, Meeting Plaza and Mud Plaza.

The combination of music, street performances and drone light shows is expected to make Boryeong a full-day and evening destination for summer travelers.

 

Black Eagles Air Show to Highlight Opening Weekend

The opening weekend will feature a major aerial attraction, with the Republic of Korea Air Force Black Eagles scheduled to perform over Daecheon Beach.

The air show is expected to add a large-scale visual highlight to the festival’s first weekend and draw families, tourists and aviation fans to the beach.

 

Beauty, Wellness and Local Culture

Beyond the mud pools and concerts, the festival will highlight Boryeong’s local products, food, cosmetics and tourism resources.

Visitors will be able to explore mud cosmetics, local specialty products, food zones, festival merchandise and cultural experience areas throughout the festival grounds.

 

K.Ride Shuttle to Improve Access for International Visitors

International visitors will be able to reach the festival more easily through K.ride, Kakao Mobility’s global mobility platform for travelers in Korea.

A dedicated festival shuttle will operate from July 24 to August 9, excluding August 5, connecting visitors from five Seoul-area departure points — Sadang Station, Seoul Station, Jamsil Station, Hapjeong Station and Pyeongtaek Base — directly to the Daecheon Beach festival grounds.

The service is designed to reduce transportation barriers for foreign travelers visiting regional destinations beyond Seoul. Through k.ride, users can access in-app automatic translation chat in about 100 languages and pay with overseas-issued credit and debit cards or international mobile payment services, including Alipay Plus.

Domestic visitors can book shuttle services through Kakao T, with departures from 16 locations, including major points in the Seoul metropolitan area and regional cities such as Gwangju, Daegu, Daejeon, Busan, Jeonju, Cheonan and Cheongju.

The shuttle program strengthens Boryeong’s position as a more accessible regional tourism gateway for travelers seeking Korea’s beaches, festivals and live summer culture beyond the capital.

 

A Festival Made to Be Experienced

The Boryeong Mud Festival has become famous because it turns a simple idea into a powerful travel experience.

Visitors do not just watch the festival. They join it — running through mud, dancing on the beach, taking photos, meeting people and becoming part of the scene.

In 2026, the festival returns with a larger stage, stronger global appeal and a renewed focus on what made it famous in the first place: mud, music, people and summer freedom on Korea’s west coast.
