The project was previously known internally as Arena, following CEO Mark Zuckerberg's direction to develop a prediction-market product.
The move comes as platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket gain popularity, particularly among younger users Meta is seeking to attract. Both companies face legal challenges from US states over whether their platforms constitute illegal gambling.
Takes remains in employee testing, with no indication of when or whether Meta plans a public launch, the Journal reported.
