On January 12, according to Forbes, the Ukrainian authorities have restricted access to the prediction platform Polymarket website. The National Commission for the State Regulation of Communications (НКЕК) approved the blocking decision based on Resolution No. 695. The reason for the block is that the platform does not hold a license recognized by the regulatory agency for gambling activities. The domain name of Polymarket has been included in the public list of prohibited internet resources. According to the document, electronic communication service providers must restrict access to online resources used for organizing, conducting, or providing unlicensed gambling activities. It is reported that the implementation of this block is uneven; some Ukrainian users are already unable to access the website, while others say they can still open it without restrictions. As of December 24, about 240 bets related to Ukraine have been completed on the platform, with a total amount exceeding 270 million USD. There are also 120 active bets with amounts exceeding 140 million USD.
