Polymaket felt that this raid was a retaliation by the Joe Biden administration for the betting platform's accurate predictions of the outcome of the elections.
guess they're all upset for the fact that their citizens were able to make some few bucks off the elections? So they had to tackle the problem from the root.
But the Department of Justice claimed that Polymarket is under investigation for allegedly allowing US-based users to bet on the site. Polymarket doesn't have permission to operate bets and predictions in the US but users usually invade the prohibition using VPNs.
Good that this is just an allegation. What else was he supposed to do? They created a stratagem -- one of which was by masking their IPs with a strong VPN ... In proper terms, aren't they supposed to be sued for breaking the site's policies?
Most people think that this attack was because the government thinks that Polymaket's polls that showed overwhelming support for Donald Trump contributed to his victory.
That's cap!! Again, this is either an attempt of revolting against the person in power, or milking polymarket of their share.
Do you think gambling platforms should avoid political events?
No. I don't support this shit regardless
