(AsiaGameHub) –   Betting activity linked to Singapore has risen on the Polymarket platform, persisting despite the site being prohibited in the region since December 2024.

According to Singaporean media, some users are bypassing restrictions to access the platform and wager on local events. Recent trends include betting on daily temperatures, with average daily wagers surpassing $100,000 throughout April. By the evening of April 17, nearly $125,000 had been staked, with the majority of participants betting on a peak temperature of 33°C.

Singaporean authorities officially blocked Polymarket in December 2024 due to the platform’s provision of unauthorized gambling services. Singapore maintains strict regulations on remote gambling, designating Singapore Pools as the sole entity permitted to offer online betting.

Government efforts to enforce regulations against illegal wagering have intensified.

The Polymarket website has previously been utilized for betting on significant Singaporean events, including the 2023 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix, the presidential election, and the 2025 parliamentary election.
