The legal situation in Luxembourg
Polymarket does not geoblock Luxembourg, and no Luxembourg authority has acted against it. Gambling is governed by the law of 20 April 1977 on games of chance and sports betting, with the Loterie Nationale as the state operator. Luxembourg has no online licensing or site-blocking regime. Bill 8679, under review in 2026, focuses on land-based gaming machines and reinforcing the state monopoly, not online platforms.
