Wojciech Stellmach on Prediction Markets, Sweeps & Paid Media: What Actually Works

🎙️ NEXT.io Podcast #259 with Wojciech Stellmach, CEO of BugsyEmpire.

In this episode, Wojciech Stellmach CEO of BugsyEmpiere, explains what’s actually working right now across emerging verticals: from sweepstakes (sweeps 2.0) to prediction markets and why “easy money” is a myth.

We unpack the shift from talking about grey markets to “grey products”, why payments + marketing access can create real advantage, and what operators must get right in marketing tech, tracking, and foundations before spending big.
