Italy’s ADM blocked prediction-market sites in July, reportedly treating them as unlicensed betting operators. A study cited in the report found that weather-related markets on Kalshi and Polymarket generated about US$279 million in trading between July 2021 and December 2025, including US$125 million in the first nine months of 2025.
Italy’s Customs and Monopolies Agency ordered internet providers to block 293 sites and restore access to gamblizard.com, according to the report. The order includes Polymarket.com and requires the blocks to be completed by 27 July 2026; the agency continues to regard the platform as lacking the authorisation required to operate in Italy.
Mincetur blocked 50 online gambling and sports betting platforms that served users in Peru without authorisation. The ministry said 86 of 157 platforms targeted for blocking this year had been blocked to date, in coordination with the Ministry of Transport and Communications under Law No. 31557.
Reportedly, the DGOJ has blocked Polymarket and Kalshi over unauthorised operations. The restriction will run for three to four months while the regulator begins a formal investigation.
