World regulation

Outside the US the question is blunter: legalize or ban. Europe has mostly answered ban; much of the world has not answered at all.

Legalize or ban, mapped

Hover or tap a country for its stance and matched coverage. 15 countries outside the US currently have matched stories. An uncoloured country means no verified stance on record — not that it permits or forbids anything.

Hover a country for its stance on prediction markets and the wire stories behind it. Click to pin. Europe leans ban; the US built a regulated lane.

Stances tracked from public regulator actions and platform geo-blocks; not legal advice. Map outlines: jsvectormap (MIT).

World regulatory wire — 26

Stories naming a country other than the United States. Anything covering both also appears on the US page. Matching is by name, so a story that only mentions a country in passing — a roundup that happens to touch Russia sanctions, say — will surface here too. Treat this as a filter on the wire, not an editorial judgement about what each story is really about.
