• Deposit, funding, and withdrawal processes
• Market discovery and user engagement
• Order entry performance and transaction execution
• Trading patterns and repeat engagement
• Contract resolution and settlement
• Customer service response times

High Roller Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ROLR) named Michael D. Franz the Season Champion of its ROLR Free-To-Trade Prediction Challenge, awarding him a $75,000 cash prize. The announcement follows the conclusion of an eight-week competition designed to introduce the company’s prediction markets brand ahead of its planned commercial launch.

Franz, competing under the username m3t64, secured the top spot on the overall leaderboard for the period running from June 2, 2026, through August 12, 2026. His performance included winning four Weekly Top Predictor titles and monthly awards for both June and July.

Competition Structure and Results

The ROLR Challenge operated as a free-to-trade event where participants used virtual credits to predict outcomes in sporting, political, and entertainment sectors. Leaderboard rankings were determined by changes in account value during each competition period.

In total, Franz earned $89,000 in cash prizes throughout the challenge. The competition structure included eight weekly rounds, alongside weekly and monthly awards for top predictors and referrers.

Grand Prize Outcome

The competition culminated in a Finals round offering a $25 million Grand Prize. Twenty-five entrants qualified for this stage, but only seven completed the required identity verification by the July 31, 2026 deadline.

Finalists faced seven Sponsor-issued prediction questions regarding real-world events resolving between August 3 and August 12, 2026. Entries had to be submitted by August 2, 2026. Winning the Grand Prize required correctly predicting all seven outcomes. No finalist achieved a perfect score.

Under the Official Rules, because the Grand Prize was not won, the highest-ranked participant on the overall leaderboard was designated as the Season Champion and awarded the $75,000 prize.

Strategic Context

Seth Young, Chief Executive Officer of High Roller Technologies, stated that the competition provided insights into user engagement with skill-based prediction experiences. He noted that the sustained performance required to win weekly and season-long titles demonstrated the competitive nature of the platform.

The company views the participation data and competitive performance generated from this initial challenge as a building block for advancing its broader prediction markets strategy. No purchase or payment was required to participate in the ROLR Challenge.
