Nov 13 (Reuters) – Meta Platforms’ employees have begun testing a prediction-market app called Takes, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. Here are some details: • Employees can wager on the outcome of questions or events using “cred,” short for credibility, rather than real money, the report said • The app is not available to the public and it is unclear when, if ever, it will be released, according to the report • Meta did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment • Prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket are drawing Gen Z users, with just over 60% of their users under the age of 35 years, according to a recent S&P Global Market Intelligence Kagan survey (Reporting by Prathik Jayaprakash in Bengaluru; Editing by Leroy Leo)
