Korean Regulator Launches Investigation into Whether Polymarket Violated Anti-Gambling Law

1 hours ago

May 22 – A Bloomberg report states that South Korea’s Korea Communications Standards Commission (KCSC) has officially launched a review of prediction market platform Polymarket to assess whether it is offering illegal gambling content that violates South Korea’s anti-gambling laws. South Korea enforces strict gambling restrictions, limiting such activities to only nationally authorized entities that operate programs like horse racing and sports betting. However, Polymarket contends that odds on its platform are set by market participants buying and selling contracts, not by the platform itself – meaning the service should not be covered under South Korea’s anti-gambling regulations. Notably, South Korea will hold local elections this June, and Polymarket currently hosts multiple prediction markets tied to the election outcomes.
