Portugal’s SRIJ orders Polymarket to stop accepting users within 48 hours
Portugal’s gambling regulator, the SRIJ, ordered Polymarket to stop accepting users in the country within 48 hours, saying the platform was not authorised and national law prohibits betting on political events. The order followed wagers on Portugal’s presidential election; Polymarket did not comment on the regulator’s statement or whether it would block the country.
The order requires Polymarket to stop accepting Portuguese users and underscores restrictions on political betting.
