Denmark’s gambling regulator blocked 98 illegal gambling sites, including Polymarket

Denmark’s regulator has taken another pass at the country’s black market: 98 illegal gambling websites were blocked, with Polymarket on the list. For PSPs and acquirers, the point is simple enough — when a regulator starts naming and blocking specific domains, the enforcement perimeter becomes a payments issue fast.

1. The action covered 98 illegal gambling sites. That is the only concrete figure in the source, and it matters because blocks at this scale usually mean the regulator is looking at recurring access rather than isolated offenders.
2. Polymarket was included among the blocked sites. For high-risk payment teams, that name stands out because it sits close to the line between betting-style activity and broader speculative trading, which is exactly where onboarding and monitoring rules get messy.
3. The source identifies Denmark as the jurisdiction. If your acquiring or PSP setup touches Denmark, this is the kind of enforcement update that should feed directly into merchant screening, URL monitoring, and blocked-merchant logic.
