Czech Republic Blocks Polymarket, Marking Third European Clampdown on Platform

AI Market Summary
The Czech Ministry of Finance added Polymarket to its unauthorized online gambling list and ordered ISPs to block access, reinforcing a tightening European regulatory stance alongside Italy and the Netherlands. The action raises compliance and access risks for decentralized prediction markets, highlighting legal uncertainty around DeFi-like consumer products. Near term, this can dampen sentiment across crypto-adjacent onchain apps by increasing perceived regulatory and operational friction.

The Czech Ministry of Finance on July 13 added decentralized prediction market Polymarket to its register of unauthorized online gambling websites, according to ChainCatcher citing Bitcoin News. The country's gambling regulator has ordered internet service providers to block access within 15 days. Regulators said Polymarket operates in practice as a gambling product without the required supervision and, because it is decentralized and unlicensed, sidesteps domestic gambling rules. Authorities also pointed to risks including insider-driven market manipulation and insufficient risk controls. Scrutiny of Polymarket has intensified across Europe. Italy has placed the platform back on its blocked list, while the Netherlands has rejected Polymarket's appeal.
