Italy’s Customs and Monopolies Agency (ADM) has added Polymarket to its list of blocked gambling websites, according to the report. The action follows an earlier block that was later reversed under legal proceedings; ADM’s renewed move requires a report to be sent to the Rome Public Prosecutor’s Office.
