The legal situation in Armenia
Polymarket does not geoblock Armenia, and no Armenian action against it was found. The Law On Regulation of Gaming Activities, in force since 1 January 2025, requires an SRC licence for online gambling. The SRC is tightening enforcement against offshore sites: payment blocking from May 2026 and telecom-level site blocking from 8 February 2027. Crypto is legal and licensed by the Central Bank under Law HO-159-N, in force since 4 July 2025.
Key facts

- Revised ISP-blocking rules for unlicensed gambling sites take effect on 8 February 2027.
- Law HO-159-N 'On Crypto-Assets' (in force 4 July 2025) puts crypto service providers under Central Bank licensing.
