Pierre Lindh Discusses Independent Media and Prediction Markets in the Industry

The 5th season of Bet It Drives continues in Lisbon. Guest Pierre Lindh of NEXT.io, together with GR8_TECH's CSO Yevhen Krazhan, talked about friendships in the industry, editorial independence, prediction markets and entrepreneurship.

Lindh has spent twenty years of his career in gaming, events, media and community building. In his view, one of the most important factors in his continued commitment to the industry is the relationships within it.

Lindh said that being so close to the industry makes it harder to stay independent in media. He also described how NEXT.io handles difficult stories involving partners and shareholders.

The conversation stressed that the industry needs to cooperate in the face of regulatory, political and external pressures. Lindh argues that prediction markets are not an alternative to another gambling arm or sports betting. The program also covers how the preparation for the Next Predict conference was completed over eight months, and a segment in which the team was tested with live prank phone calls.
