Nine European regulators plan closer oversight of prediction markets during 2026 World Cup
Spain’s DGOJ and regulators from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and Switzerland announced closer cooperation on prediction markets during the 2026 World Cup. They warned that many such platforms lack authorisation in Europe and said they would exchange information, monitor compliance and strengthen checks on advertising, betting integrity and player protection.
The regulators’ planned oversight could affect prediction-market operators and sports organisations considering commercial agreements with them.
