[Bloomberg: Kalshi and Polymarket Ignore Indian Ban and Continue Allowing Local User Registrations] BlockBeats News, May 18, according to Bloomberg, Polymarket and Kalshi have continued to allow Indian users to register and trade on their prediction markets despite warnings from the Indian government. The Indian authorities consider these platforms to be operating illegally. Last month, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology of India stated in a letter that, despite the implementation of relevant bans domestically, users are still accessing 'illegal and blocked prediction markets and online entertainment platforms.' The announcement was subsequently published 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).
