Prediction markets in the United Kingdom
Of the 57 platforms we review, 14 are open to UK residents, 3 with restrictions and 22 exclude them. For 18 the published terms do not say either way.
In the UK, betting is licensed by the Gambling Commission and financial derivatives are supervised by the Financial Conduct Authority. Many platforms name the UK in their restricted-jurisdiction lists.
Each line reports what the platform’s own terms say, with the source we read and when. It is not legal advice, and a platform can still refuse an individual account. Last checked 19 Oct 2026.
