The decision is confirmed by Teleindustrien, the trade association for the country's telecommunications operators, to Danish TV 2, and follows a court ruling in July.

Polymarket, a so-called prediction market, has come under heavy scrutiny recently. The gambling site has become known for offering bets on various geopolitical events, such as whether the US will attack Iran or what will happen in the Ukraine war, something that has been questioned from an ethical perspective.

In addition, there has also been information about insider betting, where The New York Times, among others, was able to show significant betting activity ahead of American attacks on Iran.

However, the decision only means that the site is subject to a so-called DNS block. With VPN solutions, players can bypass the block, reports TV 2.
