Dominican Republic's DCJA warns against unlicensed prediction markets
The Dominican Republic's Directorate of Casinos and Games of Chance warned that prediction-market platforms using money or cryptoassets operate outside the country's legal framework. The agency said none had ministry approval and cautioned that users may lack protection if platforms fail, are fraudulent or suffer cyberattacks; it advised the public not to deposit funds with unregulated services.
The warning clarifies that prediction-market platforms lack official authorisation and that users may have no formal route to recover funds.
