Prediction market Kalshi blocks access from India

Decentralized prediction market platform Kalshi has added India to its list of restricted countries, Cointelegraph reported. According to its revised terms of service, residents of 55 countries and regions, including India, are now barred from accessing the platform. The move follows a warning from India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology to VPN providers, urging them not to facilitate access to illegal and blocked online betting and prediction market platforms. Other countries, including Singapore, Poland, Portugal, Hungary, Ukraine, and Brazil, have also blocked or banned prediction market platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket.
