The legal situation in Slovenia
Polymarket does not geoblock Slovenia, and no FURS action naming Polymarket was found. The Gaming Act (ZIS, 1995) keeps classic games of chance under state concessions held by Loterija Slovenije and Športna loterija. The Act lets authorities order providers to block online games offered without a government concession. That power passed to FURS when the UNPIS gaming office was abolished in 2012. Crypto service providers fall under the EU MiCA regulation.
