Polymarket plans legal challenge to Denmark’s block on 98 sites

Enforcement & compliance

Polymarket said it intends to challenge in court the Danish decision blocking its platform alongside 97 other domains. Spillemyndigheden argued that prediction markets involving stakes and potential gains can fall under betting rules; a Frederiksberg court approved the authority’s request to block access to 98 sites after proceedings against Telenor.

The court challenge could clarify whether Denmark’s betting rules apply to prediction markets and justify blocking their sites.
