Argentine court orders nationwide block of Polymarket

Enforcement & compliance

A judge ordered Polymarket blocked across Argentina on 11 March after a complaint by the Buenos Aires City Lottery (LOTBA), the account of the judicial case said. LOTBA’s technical team and the Specialised Gambling Prosecutor’s Office investigated the platform; the order also covered its mobile apps after a separate complaint cited their availability. The investigation concluded that Polymarket operated without authorisation in any of Argentina’s 24 jurisdictions.

The nationwide order restricts Polymarket’s access to users and apps across Argentina.
