The Korea Communications Standards Commission has initiated an investigation into the prediction market platform Polymarket, to determine whether it constitutes illegal gambling, following multiple complaints. It will refer to precedents set by countries such as France, Germany, and Italy in blocking the platform. Industry insiders are concerned that the investigation may lead to Polymarket being blocked or exiting the Korean market; lawyers point out that if the platform offers localized services to Korean users, even if the servers are overseas, it could still fall under regulatory scope.
