Korea media watchdog votes to block access to overseas prediction market Polymarket

South Korea\'s Broadcasting Media and Communications Review Committee voted to block domestic access to the overseas prediction market platform Polymarket after judging it constitutes illegal gambling and speculative activity under Korean law.
