CFTC is examining whether Polymarket violated its 2022 agreement barring users from the U.S.

The regulator is once again examining whether the platform did enough to keep Americans off its main offshore platform. The review is part of a broader investigation that the CFTC launched in 2026.

The regulator is also looking at how the platform determines customers’ locations, its advertising in the U.S., and the U.S. version of Polymarket, which began rolling out late last year.

In 2022, Polymarket agreed to block access for U.S. users. In 2025, the CFTC and the Justice Department closed their investigations into the company without bringing charges.

Polymarket said it had updated its controls and banned the use of VPNs to bypass restrictions. The CFTC and the company declined to comment.
