Ukraine has blocked access to the popular prediction market platform Polymarket. The action was taken because authorities classify the platform as engaging in unlicensed gambling. Internet service providers in Ukraine have been instructed to restrict access to Polymarket’s domain.
This decision is part of a broader effort to regulate online gambling and protect consumers.
The official block is based on Resolution No. 695, issued by the National Commission for the Regulation of Electronic Communications (НКЕК) on December 10, 2025. The resolution implements a prior decision by the State Agency PlayCity, which identified unlicensed gambling platforms.
Under Ukrainian law, any website facilitating gambling without a license must be restricted.
