Norway’s gambling regulator has notified 62 companies that their websites could face blocking in the country. The report names Kalshi and Polymarket among the targets.
The Czech Ministry of Finance added Kalshi to its list of unauthorised gambling providers on 30 September, according to a report. Czech law requires internet service providers to block listed platforms within 15 days, meaning access to Kalshi is due to be blocked from 15 October 2026.
New York has sued Polymarket over alleged illegal gambling. Polymarket has filed a lawsuit in response, following New York’s earlier legal action against Kalshi.
New York filed an illegal gambling lawsuit against Polymarket, the state's complaint alleging that the company runs a gambling business without a New York gaming license. Polymarket's response was to shift the matter into federal court, and the company brought a separate action of its own against New York gaming officials.
New York Attorney General Letitia James and Governor Kathy Hochul filed a lawsuit against QCX LLC, which operates as Polymarket US, on 23 September, alleging unlicensed gambling in the state. The officials seek to stop operations, recover gains and obtain user compensation and a penalty tied to three times the revenue from the challenged conduct. These are allegations and requested remedies, not a court ruling.
Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway ordered Polymarket, Kalshi, Crypto.com, Novig, Underdog and Robinhood to comply with state sports wagering laws or stop offering sports event contracts in Missouri. The companies have 30 days to confirm compliance; the state says the contracts require Missouri Gaming Commission licences, and Robinhood disputes the state’s position.
