SEGG Media Enters Sports Predictions Market via Sports.com Predict

  • SEGG Media forms Sports Predicts Limited to expand Sports.com into prediction markets with imminent plans to partner with an industry leader in the space.
  • By tapping into a rapidly growing segment, it is expected to create a high-margin, recurring revenue stream for SEGG Media beginning ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

FORT WORTH, Texas, April 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sports Entertainment Gaming Global Corporation (NASDAQ: SEGG, LTRYW) (the “Company” or “SEGG Media”) today announced the launch of Sports.com Predict, marking the Company’s entry into the rapidly growing prediction markets space. The initiative will be developed and operated through Sports Predicts Limited, a SEGG Media company, and integrated into the Sports.com platform.

Prediction markets have emerged as one of the fastest-growing segments of digital finance and sports engagement. An estimated 70% of prediction market trading is already sports-related, with total event contract volumes expected to grow to $1 trillion by 2030.1

Currently in development, Sports.com Predict will introduce prediction functionality directly into the Sports.com ecosystem, creating a high-margin, recurring revenue stream for SEGG Media. By embedding prediction markets at the heart of Sports.com, the Company expects to convert fan engagement into transactional activity, unlocking a scalable growth engine as the global prediction markets sector expands.

Following recent marquee transactions, including the acquisitions of Veloce Media Group and Quadrant, the launch of Sports.com Predict represents a key milestone in SEGG Media’s growth strategy and is expected to be a material contributor to revenue beginning in 2026.

Leveraging the Company’s existing audience ecosystem, with Veloce’s channels alone exceeding 500 million monthly views, the platform supports SEGG Media’s strategy of building scalable sports and media assets that drive both monetization and audience migration across its portfolio.

How Sports.com Predict will deliver value:

  • Sports.com Predict will earn revenue from transaction fees linked to user activity, broadening SEGG Media’s income streams.
  • Integrated with the main Sports.com platform, it will turn audience engagement into transactions.
  • As SEGG Media’s dedicated unit for prediction markets, it supports efficient global growth within established regulatory and tech frameworks.

The platform is being rolled out in phases, subject to regulatory considerations and development progress, with an anticipated launch in summer 2026.

Daniel Bailey, SEGG Media’s Chief Commercial Officer and CEO of Veloce, commented
:
“Prediction markets represent a high-growth, emerging category that aligns with our strategy to expand Sports.com into a more interactive, monetizable destination. Bringing one of the fastest-growing markets to our ecosystem allows us to grow our user base and connect audiences with the sports, entertainment, and experiences they love. We expect to move from development to an initial rollout quickly, with the goal of being live in time for the start of the 2026 World Cup.

“Sports.com Predict is a significant step for Sports.com and its users as we continue our long-term strategy of building scalable, high-growth, high-margin revenue streams and ultimately delivering value for our shareholders.”

LKQ Corporation Notice of June 22, 2026 Application Deadline for Class Action Lawsuit – Contact Lewis Kahn, Esq. at Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC, Before Application Deadline

NEW YORK & NEW ORLEANS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”) and KSF partner, former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., notifies investors in LKQ Corporation (“LKQ” or the “Company”) (NasdaqGS: LKQ) of a class action securities lawsuit.

CASE DETAILS: According to the Complaint, LKQ and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws. The claims against Defendants arise from misrepresentations related to the Company’s acquisition of FinishMaster, completed in August 2023, and subsequent integration.

On July 24, 2025, the Company reported second-quarter adjusted earnings that missed analyst expectations and significantly cut its full-year guidance. Among other things, the Company disclosed that its Wholesale North America segment’s margin performance continued to decline, with the Company missing EBITDA targets by approximately $20 million and suffering a year-over-year decline of 11% primarily due to increased competition from others in the industry.

On this news, the price of LKQ’s shares fell by 17.8%. or $6.88 per share.

The case is City of Miami General Employees’ & Sanitation Employees’ Retirement Trust v. LKQ Corporation, No. 26-cv-00498.

WHAT TO DO? If you invested in LKQ and suffered a loss during the relevant time frame, you have until June 22, 2026 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff; however, your ability to share in any recovery does not require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.

GEMINI SPACE STATION, INC.


CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT – COMPLAINT ALLEGATION SUMMARY:


The complaint alleges that, in the Offering Documents (the company’s registration statement and prospectus issued in connection with Gemini’s IPO) and throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material facts about the company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Gemini had overstated the viability of its core business as a crypto platform; (2) Gemini had overstated the company’s commitment to and/or the viability of growing its business through expanding its international operations; (3) accordingly, Gemini’s post-IPO financial and business prospects were overstated; (4) all of the foregoing raised a non-speculative risk that Gemini was poised for an expensive and disruptive restructuring; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Why did Gemini’s Stock Drop?

On February 5, 2026, Gemini announced a corporate pivot to “Gemini 2.0”, describing three dramatic changes to Gemini’s operations: (1) Gemini’s prediction market would be “more front and center in our experience”; (2) Gemini would reduce its workforce by 25%; and (3) Gemini would exit the United Kingdom, European Union, and Australian markets. On this news, Gemini’s Class A common stock price fell $0.64 per share, or 8.72%, to close at $6.70 per share on February 5, 2026.

Then, on February 17, 2026, Gemini announced the departure of its Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and its Chief Legal Officer. Gemini also released preliminary unaudited estimates of its full year 2025 financial results, which revealed an approximate 40% increase in the company’s operating expenses. On this news, Gemini’s Class A common stock price fell $0.97 per share, or 12.9%, to close at $6.585 per share on February 17, 2026.

At the time the complaint was filed, Gemini’s Class A common stock traded at $5.96 per share, a 78.7% decline from the company’s $28.00 per share IPO price.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS FOR GEMINI SPACE STATON, INC. INVESTORS:


Gemini investors may, no later than May 15, 2026, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.

Bitch, I’m Madonna: Madonna Partners with Grindr for Global Launch of Confessions II

Mother Has Entered the Chat and She’s On the Grid

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Grindr, the Global Gayborhood in your PocketTM and world’s largest social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people, today announces an exclusive global partnership with Madonna to launch Confessions II, arriving just in time for Pride season. Grindr is one of the few select brand partners to officially partner on the release.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260424195021/en/

Madonna Partners with Grindr for Global Launch of Confessions II

Madonna Partners with Grindr for Global Launch of Confessions II

Starting today, Madonna takes over the grid – on her terms. Across Grindr, users will experience an evolving in-app takeover featuring exclusive content, dynamic, location-aware moments that appear within the Global Gayborhood, and limited drops – including a brand new picture disc of Confessions II, handpicked by Madonna, exclusively for Grindr users. Designed for curiosity, timing, and people who know where to look, the experience rewards participation and discovery, connecting users not just to content, but to each other.

Opening with “Thanks for coming,” Confessions II signals a return to the dancefloor as ritual – a space for release, control, and reinvention. The music is designed to be felt collectively, in motion, and in real time.

“Grindr drives connections, shapes culture, and builds community – and no one embodies that spirit quite like Madonna,” said George Arison, CEO of Grindr. “She has been empowering our community to Express Yourself for decades, so this feels less like a partnership and more like a homecoming.”

For decades, Madonna has defined the sound and spirit of the gay dancefloor – music that doesn’t just play, but pulls people together. Her unwavering allyship and work have long shaped how communities gather, express themselves, and move as one.

Grindr powers that same connection in real time. The Global Gayborhood is a living network where millions of people show up as they are: to meet, to discover, and to build community. It’s where culture begins and travels fast, where energy builds, and where a night out, a conversation, or a shared moment starts instantly.

Additional details will be teased in the coming weeks in the Grindr app and on Grindr’s social channels, leading into Confessions II’s July 3 release date. To experience Madonna’s takeover of the Grindr app, update to iOS version 26.6.1 and Android version 26.6 now.

Open the app. Check the grid. The dancefloor is open.

About Grindr

Happy Renters, Better Performance: Why Resident Experience Matters Most in Today’s Market

Residents satisfied with their move-in are 31% more likely to renew their leases, underscoring the importance of early experiences in driving long-term property performance

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., April 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AppFolio (NASDAQ:APPF), the technology leader powering the future of the real estate industry, today released its 2026 Renter Preferences Report. With 55% of property managers citing vacancy as their top threat, AppFolio’s 2026 Renter Preferences Report finds the modern resident experience, driven by convenience and property manager responsiveness, is now table stakes for maintaining occupancy and driving performance.

As rent growth slows, resident satisfaction is increasingly important for sustaining occupancy, increasing retention, and delivering consistent performance. The report shows that satisfied residents are 72% more likely to renew and 34% less likely to plan a move.

Establishing Resident Trust Starts on Day One

AppFolio’s research identifies the resident move-in as a key opportunity for property managers to improve the resident experience at a critical moment. Residents satisfied with their move-in are 31% more likely to plan to renew their lease, making a friction-free move-in a strong predictor of long-term resident retention.

To capitalize on this opportunity, leading property managers are prioritizing services that take the pain out of moving, along with clear, transparent pricing. By automating essential move-in steps like insurance verification and utility setup, property managers remove day-one friction, creating a better resident experience.

Convenience Is No Longer a Differentiator, It’s Expected

Property managers can more effectively attract new residents by prioritizing valuable services that offer convenience and financial value. Demand for these services is high; 78% of residents say they are an important consideration when evaluating a new home, and 79% are willing to pay for offerings that provide convenience and financial empowerment, yet only 33% can rely on their property managers for access.

When residents do have access to these services, the impact is clear. Residents with financial services score 14% higher on the Cantril Ladder for life satisfaction, and 97% of those with group-rate internet report saving money and improving their financial health.

Turning Maintenance Excellence into Resident Advocacy

While move-in sets the tone, maintenance sustains the relationship. The report highlights that maintenance satisfaction is a critical lever for property performance: residents who are happy with their repairs are 81% more likely to renew and three times more likely to recommend their property manager. By leveraging automation and agentic AI to manage everything from intake to vendor coordination, leading operators are removing the friction from the maintenance process and accelerating the speed of repairs.

Driving Better Outcomes Through a Unified Experience

AppFolio empowers property managers to evolve from managing isolated tasks to driving performance across the entire real estate ecosystem, unifying workflows to unlock long-term value for every stakeholder. By integrating resident services directly into its Performance Platform, AppFolio helps teams deliver seamless experiences that today’s renters expect.

“Property management has always been about more than providing space. Today,it’s about delivering the right experience and value to residents,” said Stacy Holden, Vice President, Industry Principal at AppFolio. “There is a clear divide between managers who are maintaining operations and those achieving real performance. By leveraging a unified Performance Platform to deliver the digital-first services residents expect, leading operators are turning resident satisfaction into a predictable driver of retention.”

Download the 2026 Renter Preferences Report to see the full findings and actionable recommendations.

*The Cantril Ladder is a long-standing measurement of life satisfaction used by the polling firm Gallup. It assesses how people evaluate their lives, with 0 representing the lowest point and 10 the highest.

Survey Methodology

AppFolio commissioned a survey of 3,002 U.S. renters ages 18 and up from January 26, 2026 to February 4, 2026.
