Norway moves to block Polymarket and Kalshi with 60 other sites

Norway targets unlicensed gambling access

Norway’s gambling authority, Lotteritilsynet, has notified 62 operators that it plans to block access through DNS measures over unlicensed gambling offerings to Norwegian consumers, according to correctcasinos.com.

Polymarket and Kalshi are among the targets. The outlet identifies those two prediction-market platforms alongside 60 other sites facing the planned restrictions.

The reported action is a notification of intended blocking, rather than confirmation that access has already been blocked. That distinction matters when assessing whether Norway has announced a restriction or put it into effect.

Only the headline and partial summary were available for this report. They do not establish an implementation date or provide the operators’ responses.

What it means for prediction markets

  • Local access is at issue: The proposed measures target offerings to Norwegian consumers, including access to Polymarket and Kalshi.
  • Implementation remains unconfirmed: The available reporting supports a planned DNS block, not a completed one.
  • Contract wording matters: For markets tied to regulatory action, a notification, a formal decision and an operational block may represent different resolution thresholds.

Michigan Senate is the week's biggest midterm mover: El-Sayed down 7 points

Kalshi now prices Democrat Abdul El-Sayed at 67% to win Michigan, down from 74% in 7 days, with Republican Mike Rogers at about 33c. Forecasters still rate the race a…

Michigan odds tighten

Democrat Abdul El-Sayed’s probability of winning Michigan’s Senate race on Kalshi fell to 67% from 74% over 7 days. The 7-percentage-point decline makes Michigan the week’s biggest midterm mover in the supplied report, published Oct 12, 2026, at 6:54 AM ET.

Republican Mike Rogers was trading at about 33¢. El-Sayed remains the market favorite, but the latest pricing gives him a smaller advantage than a week earlier.

According to defirate.com, Polymarket displayed a 64¢ price for El-Sayed. The outlet distinguishes between the platforms’ displayed figures: Kalshi reports the last trade, while Polymarket displays the price available to buy.

At the Polymarket ask, a $100 position would pay $156 if correct, before fees, according to defirate.com. The supplied summary also references forecasters’ assessments, but cuts off before identifying their rating.

What it means for prediction markets

  • The shift is meaningful, but not a change of favorite: El-Sayed’s Kalshi probability has declined by 7 percentage points while remaining above Rogers’s.
  • The platform prices are not directly equivalent: Kalshi’s last-trade figure and Polymarket’s buy price represent different market measures, limiting what readers can infer from the gap.
  • External confirmation is incomplete: The supplied material does not establish whether forecasters have changed their assessment alongside the market move.
