Norway moves to block Kalshi, Polymarket, 60+ sites

Norway’s gambling regulator has notified 62 companies that it plans to block access through the domain name system (DNS) over unlicensed gambling, according to igamingtoday.com. Kalshi and Polymarket are among the targets identified by the outlet.

Planned restrictions

The notices carry an Oct 15 deadline, igamingtoday.com reported. The report, published Oct 10, 2026, at 4:54 AM ET, describes a planned blocking action rather than restrictions already in force.

The action places Kalshi and Polymarket within a broader regulatory effort involving 62 companies. The available summary does not identify the other companies or provide details of the notices.

Timing remains important

The Oct 15 deadline is the next stated milestone. The available material does not establish when DNS blocking would begin or what steps the notified companies must take by that date.

For prediction-market readers, the key distinction is between notification of an intended restriction and its implementation. The reported notices establish the former, but the summary does not confirm the latter.

What it means for prediction markets

• Kalshi and Polymarket face a planned access restriction in Norway, according to igamingtoday.com; blocking is not reported as already operational.
• Oct 15 is a deadline, not a confirmed blocking date. Markets tied to implementation would require further evidence.
• Contract wording matters: an outcome defined by a regulatory notice may differ from one requiring an effective access block.
