Portugal’s SRIJ orders Polymarket blocked over election markets
Portugal’s Gaming Regulation and Inspection Service (SRIJ) ordered Polymarket to stop offering its service, and internet providers were asked to block access after the platform remained available, media reports said. The regulator said the service was unauthorised and that Portuguese law bars betting on political events; the reported action followed markets on the 8 February presidential election.
The order restricts Polymarket’s access to Portuguese customers and addresses betting on political events.
