Is Polymarket Legal in Spain? Available — Updated 2026

Quick Answer: Yes, Polymarket is available in Spain. Spanish users can access the platform without restrictions, unlike neighboring France, Germany, and Italy where it is blocked.

Polymarket Status in Spain

✅ Available — Polymarket is accessible from Spain with no geo-blocking as of March 2026.

Spain stands out among major EU economies as one where Polymarket remains freely accessible. While France's ANJ and Germany's gambling regulators have ordered geo-blocks, Spain's Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ) has not taken similar action against prediction market platforms.

Regulatory Context

Spain's regulatory environment provides a relatively open framework for Polymarket users:

• EU member state — Spain follows EU-wide financial regulations including MiCA, but national gambling regulators have not targeted prediction markets
• DGOJ — Spain's gambling regulator oversees traditional online gambling but has not classified blockchain prediction markets under its jurisdiction
• Crypto is legal — The Bank of Spain and CNMV (securities regulator) oversee crypto-related activities, primarily focused on exchange registration
• No prediction market ban — Spain has no specific legislation banning prediction markets
• No geo-blocking — Polymarket does not block Spanish IP addresses
• Growing crypto adoption — Spain has a significant and growing crypto user base

Why Spain Is Available While France and Germany Are Not

The key difference lies in regulatory enforcement. France's ANJ specifically ordered Polymarket's geo-blocking in November 2024, and Germany's gambling authorities followed suit. Spain's DGOJ has taken a less aggressive posture toward blockchain-based prediction markets, allowing them to operate without interference. However, this could change if EU-wide coordination on prediction market regulation increases.

Spanish residents must also declare overseas crypto holdings exceeding certain thresholds through Modelo 721. All Polymarket profits should be reported to the Agencia Tributaria (Spanish Tax Agency) in your annual IRPF declaration.
