Polymarket's X account withheld in India under legal demand

Polymarket's official X account became inaccessible in India on October 22, 2026, showing X's standard notice about withholding in response to a legal demand. The move comes about five months after Indian authorities blocked the polymarket.com website under the 2025 online gaming law, which bans money games and prediction markets.

• Polymarket's X account has been withheld in India since October 22, 2026
• The polymarket.com domain has been DNS-blocked in India since May 2026
• The action rests on the 2025 online gaming law and MeitY rules effective May 1
• Neither MeitY nor Polymarket disclosed the specific order behind the block
