Spain’s Consumo orders Polymarket and Kalshi website blocks during proceedings
Spain’s Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and Agenda 2030 opened sanctioning proceedings against Polymarket and Kalshi over alleged unlicensed gambling and ordered their websites blocked in Spain as a precaution, reportedly. The DGOJ is handling the cases, which are expected to take three to four months to reach a final decision; the blocking order remains in force until then.
The precautionary blocks prevent the platforms from serving users in Spain while the proceedings continue.
