DGOJ blocks Polymarket and Kalshi temporarily as Jdigital backs action
Spain's DGOJ temporarily blocked access to Polymarket and Kalshi while the platforms face an investigation into alleged unlicensed operations. Jdigital welcomed the measure and said prediction markets require specific licences in Spain; the association also cited an EY report finding that one in four players had accessed illegal platforms.
The block and licensing requirement affect the availability of prediction-market services and the compliance obligations of operators in Spain.
