The legal situation in Bolivia
Polymarket does not geoblock Bolivia, and the AJ has not named it. Gambling falls under Law No. 060 (2010), which has no framework for online gambling, and the AJ has issued no online licences. In July 2025 it filed criminal complaints against an unlicensed online betting platform. Crypto became legal again on 26 June 2024, when BCB Resolution 082/2024 repealed the 2020 ban.
Key facts
- Law No. 060 of 2010 governs gambling and does not provide for remote gambling; the AJ has issued no online licences.

- Resolution 144/2020 had banned crypto trading; BCB Resolution 082/2024 (26 June 2024) lifted it.

What are your options in Bolivia?
If Polymarket or local law restricts this country, the honest answer is: don't try to get around it. VPNs and third-party wallets break Polymarket's terms, can get funds frozen and may be illegal locally.
