The legal situation in Latvia
Latvia is not on Polymarket's geoblock list, and no Latvian blocking decision on Polymarket was found. Latvia does run an ISP blocking regime for unlicensed gambling sites under its Gambling and Lotteries Law. Gambling supervision moved from the IAUI to the State Revenue Service on 1 April 2026. Neighbouring Lithuania blocked Polymarket in September 2026, so the situation could change.
