Kalshi and Polymarket still allow local users to register and trade despite India’s ban

Odaily Planet Daily News: Despite warnings and a ban from the Indian government, prediction market platforms Kalshi and Polymarket are still allowing Indian users to register and trade.

According to reports, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology of India stated in a letter last month that Indian users are still accessing "illegal and blocked prediction markets and online entertainment platforms." The relevant notice was subsequently posted on the ministry's official website, specifically naming "Polymarket and other similar websites," stating that these platforms should have been blocked by Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
